Case Study: H&M Distribution

Efficiently repaired 327 square metres of concrete at H&M Distribution’s depots within a 12-hour window.

The project


H&M Distribution, a major haulage and pallet network business operating from six depots across the UK.

They were facing significant surface issues in both their warehouses and yard areas.

With their depots running 24/7, except for a 12-hour vehicle-maintenance window on Sundays,  they had very limited downtime to address the problem.

The problem


Surface issues, including cracks, large potholes, and over 300 square metres of concrete failures, were causing indentations and uneven surfaces. This led to safety  hazards and inefficiencies, such as forklifts dropping pallets, which directly  impacted the smooth operation of their business.

Traditional concrete and tarmac repairs would not only cost the company  hundreds of thousands of pounds but would also cause massive disruption to their operations, making it difficult to find a solution that balanced cost, downtime, and operational efficiency.

The solution


To solve this without disrupting H&M Distribution’s operations, 2 Rent organised a 12-hour work window on a Sunday.

Using our Truck Mounted Double Boiler Elastomac Batching Unit and team of skilled workers, we were able to efficiently repair all the cracks and potholes, both inside and  outside their warehouse.

The results


Traditional repair methods would have meant closing H&M Distribution’s site for several days,  causing business interruptions and extra costs.

Tailoring our service to fit into H&M Distribution’s existing schedule completely avoided any disruption to their operations. With our efficient batching unit and skilled team, we repaired the 327 square metres of concrete in the arranged 12 hours.

This saved H&M Distribution both time and money, and let them get straight back to work as usual on Monday.
