Site accommodation units are also available for longer-term setups.
Every product in the Reading fleet is specified with one goal: keep your site running efficiently while cutting fuel use, emissions and waste.

Under CDM 2015 Schedule 2, every construction site must provide sanitary conveniences, washing facilities with hot and cold running water, drinking water, somewhere to change and store clothing, and a rest area where workers can sit and prepare hot food. Facilities must be in place from day one, kept clean, and sized to the workforce on site. Garic’s Reading account managers can spec a CDM-compliant welfare setup against your specific project, phasing and numbers.
