COVID-19 Statement

​Our Ref: COVID-19 Statement
 
Current Position
It is business as usual here at Arch Services however we are continually monitoring the situation and wanted to update our customers with some of the measures we have in place and provide details of our business continuity plan.
Protection Measures
As a business we are committed to ensuring the safety of our engineers, customers and the general public and have put a number of measures in place to mitigate the risk of COVID-19. Some of these measures include;

• Management Segregation.
• Working from home where practicable.
• Live stream of information.
• Segregated welfare facilities.
• Staged departure to and from worksites.
• Individual vehicle disinfection process.
• Fluid business continuity planning.
• Each site is being risk assessed.
• No Visitor Policy.
• Digital Communication Implementation

Critical Infrastructure
Although we may have to take action and suspend works on high population sites the current advice is that works to critical infrastructure should continue where possible. As a result our services will not be interrupted to works located on highways, culverts, rail and/or critical drainage infrastructure. 
The current thought is that even if movement restrictions are implemented by government that critical infrastructure movements will be exempt and Arch Services will continue to provide our customers with these essential services. 
 
Final Word
This is going to be a trying time for the UK and we are fully committed to doing our part in ensuring this devasting pandemic is brought under control. We support the measures implemented by the UK Government and the decisions made by individuals and other businesses’ in how they have reacted to the outbreak.
It is however critical that services and infrastructure continues to be maintained and we would ask that our customers continue to support our operations on the understanding we are taking the necessary precautions to mitigate any impact as a result of these critical works delivery.
