Here at Vac truck, we take pride in our work and a huge part of our success is due to the constant support and monitoring of the fleet and staff working on site.
Our daily checks include:
- Site Record Forms
- Pre-Commencement and Post Work Risk Assessment check sheet
- Suction Excavator Check Sheet
- Timesheets for the employees
- FTA Driver Vehicle Check and Defect Report
All team members have in-depth training to operate the excavators and hold sufficient qualifications to labour within the area of work depending on the nature of skills and requirements specific to the site.
Before work commences, if needed or requested a site visit from a Senior Manager can be made to assess the overall work area and his findings will be reported to the Vac Truck office so that a site specific method statement and assessment can be produced.
A site briefing to all members of the team is undertaken before any work commences and they are familiarised with the site management.
If no prior arrangements have been made for a site visit, the operational team members will produce site specific risk assessments and have a brief with the site management to agree method statements specific to the work involved.
Full vehicle inspections are carried out by the Vac Truck operators before the vehicle commences excavation and is continued to be checked through the working day.
Vehicle check sheets are filled out daily and any faults are reported immediately to a senior member of staff whom is in charge of vehicle maintenance.
Vac Truck operators regularly review the progress of their work with the site staff and are vigilant to the change in working conditions as the work unfolds.
New Extension Hose System
Vac truck has developed a new extension hose system.
Due to the ever changing working environment and projects, the need for a longer hose has been required.
The unique offerings of the impressive new attachment allows the vac truck team to excavate from a distance of 140m horizontally away from the excavator itself and allows excavations to unearth material to 20m vertically below ground.
If you would like more information regarding this new attachment, please feel free to call a member of the Vac Truck team to discuss this and many other attachments and tools we have to offer.
