Points to plan for in Strood
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Strood often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
