Projects We Have Done to Date

Coordinated by our PHS Logistics Manager all M&E material were offloaded, handled and distributed to the various level over 12 stages of the 22-acre site using our tele-handler, with over a thousand deliveries of items including Air Handling Units, switchgear, modules, ductwork, attenuators and containment, this was achieved by establishing effective forward planning and infrastructure, implementation of processes and delivery of services between the PHS team and other contractors. The key requirement was to facilitate the movement of materials and associated plant/equipment to their respective work areas safely and effectively.

PHS also supplied over 50 contract lifts for the major plant items, smoke extract fans and PV panels, all lifts were carefully planned, manged and complete by our experienced plant handling lifting team.
