When working on a job in the thriving construction-friendly area that is East London, you’ll need to be sure that you can hire the plant you need to get the job done. Take our mini diggers: we have a whole range of excavators from large to small, and for a range of environments. Digging in a tight area, for example, may seem like a tough ask – but this Kubota U17-3 is a good move for those who need to remove earth in a difficult space.
Skidsteers, meanwhile, are also present in our fleet. If you’re planning to do some sweeping or clearing on your job, we’ll have the right tool for you. The Bobcat S450 is a prime example, and offers a tight turning radius as well as a Tier 4 diesel engine. If you need to dump items over a barricade such as a wall, meanwhile, this piece of plant is perfect.
It’s wise to also remember that small plant can come in handy too in a construction environment. At Rhinos, we offer a range of smaller pieces of kit which can help you achieve your aims whatever they are. First up are our surveying tools: our laser levels are high-end, and are manufactured by well-known firm Leica. They’re self-leveling, so you won’t have to worry about imbalances – and they’re handy for jobs such as creating foundations, planning footings and more.
And don’t forget that you’ll also need to hire some cleaning materials if you’re thinking about overhauling your building site, too. Take the example of our carpet dryers, which can be used for faster drying-out of fabric floors. We’ve also got small plant for a variety of specialist professions. If you’re a woodworker, for example, you’ll be able to benefit from our range of relevant tools such as chop saws and palm sanders.
With the East London area known for being up and coming, there are developments galore in this region at the moment. And the Sugar House Island development, which is located just to the south of the famous Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, is one of the most famous.
This development is a multifaceted one, with all sorts of spaces being crafted here. Overall, the developers aim to attract 2,500 jobs to this part of town – and that’s already underway. With the Dane’s Yard area offering 100,000ft² of workspaces, it’s clear that this will help enhance East London’s reputation as a place for creative business for a while to come.
In terms of accommodation, meanwhile, the developers plan to start selling homes in the spring of next year (2020). It is understood that 40% of these properties will be at least three bedrooms, as the area is aiming to cultivate a family-friendly feel. And there’ll be space for new residents and workers in the area to hang out, too, with venues such as The Printhouse Bar and Kitchen ready to welcome visitors.
The development is being led by a European firm, Vastint UK. Those who are interested in looking around can visit one of the many open events that take place there.
