MEP Hire is working in partnership with QSC Safety to deliver on a new hyper-scale build in Acton, West London.

As the principle contractor on the North Acton based Data Centre, QSC Safety is tasked with ensuring on-site safety for this quick-moving, super-size project. As a leading safety consultancy, safety management and safety training provider for over 20 years, QSC is committed to finding innovative ways to fulfil their safety obligations; without compromising on the speed of work achieved.

Mike Loughnane, H&S Consultant at QSC Safety commented,
“The team at MEP Hire clearly understand the challenges we face on hyper-scale data centre projects and provided practical, safe, and innovative solutions that our operatives could get to grips with easily and quickly. It’s refreshing to see a hire partner so focused on compliance and proactive problem solving – exactly what’s needed on projects of this scale and complexity.”

With safety and efficiency at the very heart of MEP Hire’s commitment to its customers, this partnership has quickly become the blueprint for optimal use of access machinery, and other equipment, for the data centre market.

MEP Hire’s entire access fleet is designed to increase safety in use.

So, when the new Dingli JCPT0707DC-XD Micro Scissor Lift arrived on fleet, QSC were keen to feel the benefits of this innovative piece of kit.

Accessing working heights of up to 7m with it’s built-in confined space handrail, the lift has been designed to reduce the risk of falls from height, specifically eliminating the ability for users to climb on the machine to access greater heights. When deployed, the integrated confined space handrail offers additional space with a step providing a further 500mm of height, than the machines standard 6.5m maximum working height.

With easy to use proportional joystick controls, and an innovative oil containment feature to eliminate the risk of leaks, the Dingli XD is ideal for the data centre build environment. It’s ideal for tackling a wide range of tasks from fitting pipework and air conditioning units to adding essential services and fireproofing.

Neil Botley, Business Development Manager for Data Centres at MEP Hire said,
“The Dingli XD has already made a significant impact on-site in terms of safety and productivity. It is fast becoming the clear MEWP of choice for the data centre market.”

Safety, coupled with efficiency is at the heart of our fleet, and our skilled people are adept at understanding the best solutions for each environment, including that of data centre builds.”
