b'Page 5Plant NewsWhat a great start to 2023 we have had at Natta Plant. The new year has seen some quality additions to our fleet.In January, we added a Vacuum Excavator to our fleet. The T VAC 2 is a compact tracked suction excavator, which allows us to provide a safer, more environmentally friendly, and cost effective alternative to traditional excavation techniques. The vacuum excavation process can excavate very narrow and deep holes or trenches, 2 metres deep by 90mm wide. Essentially it can be 4-5 times quicker than a hand dig. The high-powered suction machine expertly removes the soil, safely exposing live utilities and services with little risk of damage. Vacuum Excavation is not only the safest method, but it is also the smartest.As well as our impressive Plant Portfolio, we are also proud of our vehicles. This year so far we havetaken delivery of another brand new DAF 8 Wheel Tipper to update our fleet. We can be confident that our DAF Tipper will service our sites reliably for years to come. Our Tipper driver, Georgiana, was delighted to be given the tipper to drive as she celebrated her birthday the day the keys were handed over. We also purchased a VW Crafter Jetting and Camera van to work with our Utilities team. When it comes to reliability, youll be hard pressed to find a better van that the VW Crafter. Finally a Plant/Vehicle Trailer was purchased to work with our delivery van. This multi-use trailer will not only help us deliver and collect more from site, we can also recover any vehicles requiring road side assistance. We upskilled our driver to allow him to drive with the trailer and tacho card.So far this year we have been able to add the following:10 x 2 Vibrating Pokers Sub Pumps CAT Scans 50kva Generator Telehandler Road Brush Attachments Rugby Rotating Lasers Stihl TS410 Discutters Makita SDS Max Drills John Gormley, Plant Manager'
