Proud of the contribution we're making towards these targets, which underline our commitment to industry decarbonisation.

At Select, we’re always looking for ways to raise the bar on safety and efficiency within the construction industry. A recent initiative and series of trials led by Conquip Engineering Group, Balfour Beatty plc and Expanded marks a significant advancement in safer concrete pouring practices, a core focus area for us and many others across the sector. By re-evaluating traditional concrete pour practices and introducing advanced equipment and improved methods, these initiatives aim to enhance safety and minimise risks for people across site. As part of an industry committed to continuous improvement, Select stands fully behind these initiatives and looks forward to continued collaboration and innovation in construction safety.

In February 2024, Select Modular Solutions embarked on constructing our largest JCop-10 compliant single modular building to date. Built to a gold standard specification with a collaborative approach between The Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) with TRU West Alliance, BAM UK & Ireland & Select Modular Solutions to develop an industry-leading facility, the complex, built at our Wincham depot, is a cornerstone of the Transpennine Route Upgrade project between Leeds and Manchester. Designed to support 231 staff and accommodate 500 operatives, the building is instrumental to the successful delivery of this critical infrastructure project. The project unfolded in three phases, beginning with site preparation in April 2024 and culminating in the installation of the building in May 2024. This phased approach was essential to align with client milestones and ensure minimal disruption to ongoing operations. Our modular facility sets a new standard with its innovative design, underscoring our commitment to excellence, inclusivity, and employee well-being including: ◉ Internal Stairway: Facilitates easy movement between levels, contributing to efficient workflow and accessibility. ◉ DDA Compliant Shower Room: Designed with inclusivity in mind, ensuring all operatives have access to necessary facilities. ◉ Dedicated Briefing Area: A spacious and functional area where teams can conduct meetings and briefings, enhancing communication and coordination. ◉Full Welfare Facilities: Comprehensive amenities that support the health and comfort of all personnel, including breakout areas and dining spaces. ◉Wellbeing Suite: A designated area dedicated to mental and physical health, promoting a balanced and productive work environment. ◉Viewing Gallery: Offering panoramic views of the Huddersfield Rail Platforms, this feature not only provides a unique vantage point but also integrates seamlessly into the operational context. Steve Hamer, TRU Contracts Manager said “I just wanted to say a big thank you on behalf of TRU, BAM and myself for the safe delivery and installation of HD1. Everyone involved is an absolute credit to Select Plant Hire and how your business runs and behaves. The building is so impressive, pictures don’t do it justice”. The combination of advanced facilities and carefully considered design elements ensures that the building supports the operational efficiency of the Route Upgrade project. Select Modular Solutions continues to lead the industry by setting new benchmarks in modular building design and functionality.
