Rainwater Harvesting

The system only cost £400 to set up
It is being rolled out to our other sites.
Rainwater Harvesting – Diagram
Lighting
Not only is there a cost to the bulbs but there is a cost implication in the changing of the bulbs
We now seek to utilise low level lighting
Use reflective surfaces to reflect heat and light
Racking system for offcuts
Its very important that we are able to utilise all of a plate
Off cuts are stored and used whenever a job will fit
This reduces the need to procure new plate
We are currently working on a project to create racking to allow us to better organise and use offcuts
Video Conferencing
Supporter of video conferencing using software such as Oovoo
Enabled better communication
More engagement with remote staff
Saves on travel costs and pollution

Conveyor Scraper• Removes dust and slag from base of the bed while machine is in operation
• Runs on motorised gear and chain system
• Improves efficiency of operative and of machine we can now have 1 man per 2 machines
