Storage systems to level up efficiency and support ESG goals

Storage systems to level up efficiency and support ESG goals
4:27

Utility companies keep critical, high-value assets running. Yet it’s the management of small components that can cause a surprising amount of friction. If fittings, bolts, fuses, connectors and consumables are stored haphazardly, operations can slow, errors can creep in, and shutdown preparation becomes harder to manage.

Standardised storage systems offer a practical solution, helping to improve workflow efficiency, reduce avoidable mistakes and support better inventory control. Crews don’t waste time searching through every tray for the required part or accidentally pick the wrong part, leading to re-work or even safety risks. With everything in its place, preparing for shutdowns, maintenance programs and emergency response is easier.

Getting organised with RAWSPEC® storage.

The RAWSPEC® range from Holloway Group can help power, water and renewable energy companies tame the clutter, so crews can work efficiently. Moulded plastic tech trays, nesting crates and pails can be deployed across multiple sites, to keep thousands of small components organised, labelled and ready for use.

RAWSPEC® is made from durable impact-resistant polymers. This means containers are robust enough to withstand repeated handling by multiple crews and exposure to harsh working conditions - outdoors, in vehicles and trailers and at substations, pump stations and depots. The durability of the material helps reduce replacement cycles and waste disposal volumes and provide a stronger ROI. It reframes the price discussions from “cheapest unit” to “lowest lifecycle cost”.

Damir Pletikosa, General Manager of A Plus Plastics & Holloway Emerge, says the RAWSPEC® range may help utility companies achieve their ESG targets without compromising on product strength, longevity, ergonomics and safety.

“We’re providing day-to-day benefits for operators and giving Australian waste a second life at the same time,” he says. “When you pick up a crate or bucket, it’s still meeting functional demands, it’s not going to fail on you. You get the reliability you expect from storage products.”
