The biggest car park completed on time
As reported in November, Wilson and Scott undertook their largest ever car park lining job which required the removal and replacement of 10,000 parking bays. The client was extremely pleased with the service received from WS from initial site visit by our Area Manager through to completion within the tight timescale allowed for the work. He had a written, detailed quotation on his desk within 48 hours of contacting us and a prompt start on site once the go-ahead was given.
St John's School, North London
Children returned from their Christmas holidays to find that their playground looked completely different and now had loads of fun games and shapes for them to play on including a roadway layout so they can learn about safety on the streets. They are probably too busy having snow ball fights right now but the markings will be there when the snow has gone.
Anti skid Surfacing for Stena Line
The vessel Stena Nordica recently underwent some refurbishment work in dock and Wilson and Scott crews were there to coat decks and ramps with our special Bimagrip Anti-skid surfacing and we had to work around several other trades all trying to complete their work in a very short timescale.
Bimagrip is a tried and tested process that is specified for most of the ferry and Ro-Ro vessels working around the UK. It is also the product of choice of many ship owners world-wide now. Contracts Manager Steve Langrell received the following praise from the ship’s chief engineer: 'Steve, can I just say that your guys were some of the hardest grafters I have witnessed and did a great job in difficult conditions to complete in the tight time and to work around all the other trades as well. Please pass on my thanks to all the guys, especially Danny who was a pleasure to work with and was always quick to consider the customers’ requests. Well Done!!' Harry Hall, Snr Chief Engineer, Stena Nordica.
Steve is currently out in China supervising the application of Bimagrip to a new build vessel for a major Swedish shipping line. We expect him to be spending several months this year in the Far East as Bimagrip is increasingly specified for these vessels.
Managing Director, Stephen Scott, is about to embark on a nationwide speaking tour over the next 12 months.
He will be speaking about the use of Road Markings in accident reduction schemes and demonstrating new innovative products to the audiences of Local Authority and Government Roads Engineers at the seminars in England & Scotland.
If you would like to be in the audience at one of these seminars please contact us at seminars@wilsonandscott.co.uk
