ESS Provide Comprehensive On-Site Rental Solutions for Major South Wales Refinery

ESS, a leading specialist provider of safety, survey, communications, and test & measurement equipment, has established a onestop rental shop at a major refinery in South Wales. With a long-standing 10-year relationship with this American petroleum company, ESS provides essential on-site rental support, ensuring the facility operates smoothly around the clock.

ESS operates an on-site facility staffed by Vp plc employees, offering comprehensive support for daily operations and maintenance activities. This one-stop shop supplies everything the refinery needs to keep projects productive and compliant, from safety equipment and tooling to driven plant.

During scheduled slowdowns and turnarounds, the refinery requires additional support to meet the increased demand from extra contractors and workload. ESS addresses this challenge by Moving to a 24/7 operation, deploying additional employees to the site, establishing additional satellite safety shops and increasing the supply volume of all necessary equipment.
