Hitachi Excavator Supports Water Infrastructure Work

UK contractor Davey Civils recently hired a Hitachi ZX135US-7 medium excavator from Synergy Hire for a short-term project in Hawkhurst, Kent. The work followed an upgrade of a Southern Water sewage treatment facility and involved sorting and loading 15,000m³ of crushed ragstone into trucks over a six week period. The project required reliable equipment and responsive support to meet deadlines set by the Environment Agency and Southern Water.

The relationship between Davey Civils and Synergy Hire is described as long standing, with regular equipment hire of Hitachi models such as the ZX130-7, ZX135US-7 and ZX210-7. Support from Synergy Hire includes equipment delivery, transport arrangements, and documentation assistance. Site Manager Keith Sturmer noted the importance of this relationship: “Our relationship is extremely important – if I call him and say I need two machines tomorrow, he'll do it. He jumps on board with everything we do. You need reliability, and they care, when you're up against it.”
