This week, Force One operations update followed our skilled operatives working alongside an active motorway service station.

They tackled a challenging task, working around/near a busy services located in the south. In preparation for a planned extension, new ducting needed to be laid which required the existing services to be uncovered.

Due to the location of the excavation being beside a key service road, traffic could not be obstructed. This proposed a problematic circumstance as our machine was not able to be positioned next to the excavation site. Following a site visit and some planning from our operations team, they overcame this obstacle by safely positioning our high-power suction excavator away from the traffic flow and utilised one of our small remote nozzle units. This was connected to our vac ex by 35 metres of 250mm diameter extension hose.

The result meant that they were able to utilise safe dig suction excavation across the length of the service run and successfully carry out the excavation without affecting the operation of the fuel service station.

Keep an eye out next week for a blog update regarding our Mental Health First Aider Vincent, after 12 months in the role!
