Safe transport of bulky materials and equipment for the construction industry

What does safe transport mean, and how does HK take account of building and civil engineering issues to ensure your satisfaction?

Secure transport, i.e. a transport service in which shippers hand over their shipments to men and women, identified and dedicated specialists, available 24/7, rather than to a transport company in which it's "the system" that manages and an algorithm that will determine the means that will carry out the transport, the "ideal" route, without taking into account the variables of road conditions, deviation, time count status or the language actually spoken by the driver. On certain sensitive sites, either by their very nature, such as nuclear or weapons-related sites, or by their size, such as the Greater Paris area, there are administrative, access and safety procedures (ID card, license plate, specific PPE, COVID procedures) that must be known and respected, as part of the HK service. These procedures are particularly important in thepharmaceutical industry in which HK Courses operates.

The goods transported, from insulation to TBM equipment, from air-conditioning equipment to tiles, are generally packed in full truckloads, which can come from very far away, which further complicates the risks of road hazards.

HK commitments: on-time delivery, punctuality and, on request, French drivers

Depending on the difficulty and critical nature of the delivery, HK COURSES can provide vehicles specifically for French deliveries. The delivery contact is typically the site manager, the project manager, a works foreman or a team leader identified in advance, whose name and contact details the driver will have, and who will receive the goods directly.

The critical nature of these deliveries: the resources required for arrival and unloading may include expensive lifting equipment (cranes), or large teams of people, ... and the distance to the loading point adds a degree of complexity that can be significant. That's why it's essential to distinguish between conventional transport and secure customized transport.

Example

Long-haul semi-trailer with imperative delivery slot

Our customer, specializing in major works, is involved in drilling subway tunnels on the Grand Paris project.

Constraint: supply the site on D+1 before 12 noon by semi-trailer.

Special feature: Delivery on a titanic multi-site construction site

The goods are to be picked up in Germany from the world's leading TBM manufacturer.

Our solution

Setting up an exclusive semi-trailer with French vehicle and driver
The driver arrives at the right place on site at 9 a.m.
Once unloaded, our customer takes delivery of the goods before 12 noon as agreed.

Secure transport of small items of equipment or accessories, essential to the continuation of the worksite

Express delivery of small materials is also critical to your business

Critical nature of these deliveries: the smooth door-to-door transport of these materials or accessories over all distances is critical to the smooth running of a construction site, since without them, the site may come to a partial halt, or an induced task may not be carried out.

This could be the delivery of a piece of joinery, a piece of piping, or a particular tool, but also an electrical or plumbing component that is faulty or simply not ordered.

HK makes on-site transport of rented equipment quick and easy!

More and more users and construction companies are renting their equipment from specialists, but don't want to lose work time or take the health risk of picking up and returning rented equipment. On a simple call, or by sending an e-mail that is immediately answered during office hours, HK assists them with the customized transport of this equipment, ensuring delivery by dedicated means, door-to-door, within the promised timeframe and without any break in the load, with the promised follow-up when the transport mission is taken on.

Example

Express delivery to site in ^20m3 vehicle

To ensure continuity of the worksite, our customer, based in the 67 department, needs to ship a drilling auger to a site in St Denis in the 93 department.

The goods are ready at 4pm and must be delivered to the site by 8am the following day. A technician will take delivery.

1 auger 3.5m x 0.50m 800kgs - side loading

Urgent and secure transport of spare parts and maintenance parts

Rapid maintenance and repair: key to equipment availability

The critical nature of these deliveries: on these high-intensity construction sites, which sometimes operate 24/7, total and permanent availability of technical resources is essential. The operational and financial consequences of the non-availability of a crane or other major piece of equipment can run into thousands of euros.

The availability and professionalism of HK COURSES operators, combined with the density and responsiveness of the resources (our own or outsourced) used, enable us to unblock the situation and deliver the missing part within a few hours, on a simple call, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

HK COURSES, specialist in secure transport of spare parts

Many companies in the building sector, and construction professionals in particular, work with HK for large, complex projects. HK is an express company renowned for its responsiveness, transport safety and reliability. HK is also capable of handling hazardous materials, the dedicated means we use ensuring extreme flexibility.

Express transport of samples to help make construction sites safer

Urgent transport of samples to job sites, an asset for safety and efficiency

To ensure the safety of people working on our sites, samples are taken daily from the ground, the air and the materials to which our teams are exposed.

Express transport of these samples to the appropriate analysis laboratory is essential, so that the professionals present on these construction sites can be sure that the work can continue in strict compliance with current safety regulations. These may be solid samples, generally to detect traces of asbestos or pollutants, whether organic or inorganic; or air or water samples, again to detect the presence of substances likely to present a danger to the employees of construction companies present on site.

These samples are sometimes taken care of by the experts of the companies carrying out the tests, but for practical reasons of distance between the tests and the laboratories, or simply for geographical reasons, HK COURSES is regularly involved in the secure express transport of these samples.

Whether spot or regular express transport, it's our customers who choose

For some of these customers, as in the example below, HK provides regular shuttles, which can be daily, for the entire duration of the worksite, to ensure reliability and continuity throughout the duration of the requirement. All the customer has to do is concentrate on his core business, with HK's stewardship and logistics taking care of the rest.

HK takes part in the traceability chain for these samples, ensuring their express delivery to dedicated laboratories, wherever they may be in France or abroad.

Example

Case 1: Express

In order to carry out laboratory analyses, our customer has to transport asbestos samples on a daily basis from a worksite where he takes samples every day.

A fixed pick-up time is agreed. The goods are then transported to the point agreed with our customer.
