Project Scope: Relocating the entire library collection from the old building to a new construction site, with limited staff access and restricted vehicle access.
Challenges and Solutions
Construction Site Environment:
1.Challenge: Navigating a busy construction site with limited access and potential hazards.
2.Solution: Jamie Briggs Removals implemented strict safety protocols and trained their staff to work in such environments. Regular site inspections and communication with the construction team ensured a safe working environment.
Limited Staff Access:
1.Challenge: Coordinating the move with minimal library staff involvement due to security restrictions.
Solution: Jamie Briggs Removals developed a detailed moving plan that included pre-labelling of books and furniture, and clear instructions for library staff. This minimized the need for on-site staff involvement.
Restricted Vehicle Access:
1.Challenge: Transporting the entire library collection without the use of vehicles on the construction site.
2.Solution: Jamie Briggs Removals used a combination of hand trucks and small, manoeuvrable vehicles to transport items within the site. The team carefully planned the moving routes to minimize congestion and maximize efficiency.
Equipment Training and Sign-Off:
1.Challenge: Ensuring that staff were properly trained and certified to operate specialized moving equipment.
2.Solution: Jamie Briggs Removals provided comprehensive training sessions for their staff, covering the safe and efficient use of all equipment. Staff were required to sign off on training completion before being allowed to operate equipment.
