The Challenge:

Apex Floor Solutions, a leader in flood protection, offers a wide range of products and collaborates with some of the UK’s leading companies and local councils. Recently, Site Solutions partnered with Apex Flood Solutions to provide a comprehensive “one-stop shop” service, addressing waste management and equipment hire needs for various projects across the UK. Given Apex’s strong commitment to sustainability, it was essential to implement these values consistently across all services.

The Solution:

For customers requiring multiple services, our team work together, pooling their expertise to deliver the most effective and sustainable solutions. When necessary, the team recommends the best solutions to streamline projects.

To date, we’ve organised and implemented a range of solutions, including ongoing waste management and equipment hire. For Apex’s head office, which requires a regular waste management solution, Site Solutions arranged for a permanent on-site skip, with exchanges scheduled as needed.

A project on an industrial estate in Chesterfield required a comprehensive list of equipment, including heras fencing to secure the compound, a storage unit for safekeeping of tools and equipment, a road plate, core drill, disc cutter, petrol cement mixer, excavator with a pecker, and a dumper truck.

Recently, the site experienced two break-ins. During the first incident, the heras fencing and storage unit were damaged to gain entry, and equipment was stolen. Fortunately, Apex had signed up for Hire Secure and received a payout within seven days to cover the costs. Unfortunately, the site was broken into again, resulting in further equipment damage and theft. Once again, Hire Secure provided a second payout within seven days. Our team acted quickly, managing all necessary correspondence for the insurance claim, and replacement tools were promptly dispatched to the site. A technician was also sent to repair the damaged storage unit, welding a new lock and adding extra security measures. We also recommended installing a CCTV tower for enhanced security.

While theft and equipment damage are uncommon, our team was swift in responding and implementing the appropriate measures to minimise downtime on-site
