Hague Plant are committed to ensuring our clients have access to our services out of hours. During the bad winters of 2010/11, we have worked alongside local councils and private businesses to enable roads, car parks and other sites to be cleared of snow and ice as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Our out of hours and emergency work carried out can vary from fire damaged buildings, which require a quick and safe demolition to haulage of salt for use on public highways.
During the flooding that took place in July 2007 Hague Plant provided plant and equipment, assisting the local authority to minimise any furthur local disruption to businesses and residents in Sheffield.
Hague Plant successfully worked alongside a water services contractor, in conjunction with the local water authorities.
The core aspect of the works was to provide a 24hr call out and management operation to facilitate any emergency repairs that may have occured within the network. We also carried out scheduled maintenance and general upkeep of the infrastructure.
This was also backed up by a specialist team of road sweepers and pressure washers to undertake necessary housekeeping that inevitably arose from these unforeseen circumstances.
There have been some major incidents in relation to water main bursts that have caused considerable damage to properties and businesses. Roads may have to be closed and on some occasions properties evacuated. It was our job to respond as quickly as possible in the event of any incident.
On the notification that there is a problem we rapidly deployed an operated JCB 3CX with a rock breaker and buckets to the scene of the incident. On really serious events we had been known to send a Volvo 180 with heavy lifting chains to complete urgent repairs.
Due to the emergency call out work being unpredictable, we are always on standby 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
After the damage caused in the July 2007 floods in Sheffield, Hague Plant Ltd were hired to help restore the river banking at Kelham Island Museum. Throughout the contract we provided machinery to remediate the river banks, remove inert material and Japanese knotweed from site and supply various aggregates to restore the land around the museum. Works finished in November 2010 and the museums car park is now fully restored and designed to withstand future floods.
