Reliable, seamless communications
As the teams would be working at four key locations spread throughout the perimeter of the terminal, the logistics of supplying each team with materials from the central compound as they arrived from the UK posed a constant challenge to Jacksons Fencing’s Contracts Manager, Steve Hancock, who was based in Coquelles throughout the contract period. Steve commented: “We knew that delivery of the project called for reliable, seamless communications – when you have seventy people working flat-out on different elements of the project at the same time across four locations; the last thing you need is for anyone to be held up waiting for materials or being unclear as to what to do next. Mobile phone reception could not be guaranteed, and frankly, they are not rugged enough for this type of use either, so we asked KENWOOD if they could help us with a communications solution which we could deploy quickly and importantly, be suitable for site conditions and easy to use”.
