Live engagements

Rapid staffing and access teams keeping complex UK assets online.

Our mobilisation desk is currently balancing residential retrofits, biomass upgrades, FCC vessel entries, and gas-plant outages. Explore how the teams, logistics, and safety architecture come together on each assignment.

Capability blend

Thermal, scaffold, and rescue resources scheduled from one desk.

Each project package combines vetted trades, safety partners, induction tracking, and travel logistics. Below is the mix our coordinators lean on most for the winter programme.

Thermal insulation & cladding

  • Laggers & supervisors with TICA and EMSS cards
  • Direct supply of mineral wool, cellular glass, and finishes
  • Nightshift QA to keep handovers spotless

Scaffolding & access

  • CISRS teams for HV, FCC, and biomass units
  • In-house design coordination and rapid variations
  • Confined-space standby with rescue drills logged

Logistics & compliance

  • Live tracker covering inductions, PPE, and travel
  • Embedded safety partners producing permit packs
  • On-call desk to absorb last-minute outage scope

Active highlights

Where DPL crews are stationed right now.

Six representative briefs show how we blend scaffold, rescue, thermal, and labour supply coverage depending on the site constraints.

Residential retrofit

Emerald Gardens

Client: Sisk & Son | Location: London | Discipline: Thermal insulation & cladding logistics

High-rise terraces undergoing envelope upgrades require staged deliveries of insulation matting, vapour barriers, and fire-stopping. DPL coordinates crews that move stack-by-stack with zero rework.

  • Thermal laggers and mates across twin shift rotations
  • Dedicated logistics marshal to book hoists and podium lifts
  • Daily photo QA shared with the Sisk engineering portal
  • TICA teams
  • Hoist logistics
  • QA reporting

Rail megaproject

HS2 – Old Oak Common

Client: HS2 station JV | Location: West London | Discipline: Multi-level scaffolding & access sequencing

The station box and concourse cores require tiered scaffold runs that stay ahead of civils pours while preserving passenger diversion routes. Our crews coordinate with HS2 logistics to stage kit without blocking crane pads.

  • CISRS advanced crews tied into HS2 digital permits
  • Dedicated scaffold design coordinator on night calls
  • Edge protection and rescue lookouts covering live decks
  • HS2 ready
  • Complex access
  • Design liaison

Airport infrastructure

TopCo Ltd – Heathrow

Client: TopCo Ltd | Location: Heathrow Airport | Discipline: Construction labour supply & rota management

TopCo’s airside civils upgrades lean on our labour pool for rapid cover across civils, groundworks, and finishing crews. Security-cleared operatives rotate through day and night slots without missing flight windows.

  • Airside-cleared groundworkers, steel fixers, and banksmen
  • Permit and pass renewals handled by our compliance team
  • Rapid backfill bench to respond to weather or ATC delays
  • Airside passes
  • Multi-trade labour
  • 24/7 rota

Biomass upgrade

Slough Power Station

Client: Confidential EPC | Location: Berkshire | Discipline: Thermal & scaffold combined package

New boiler pipework and exhaust ducting demanded twin delivery streams: heavy-duty scaffolds and thermal jackets. Our coordinators paired insulation squads with CISRS crews to keep the outage clock under control.

  • 90m of birdcage scaffold inside turbine hall
  • Thermal teams prepared for overnight pressure tests
  • On-site rescue partners covering hot work permits
  • CISRS advanced
  • Rescue standby
  • Boiler outage

FCC shutdowns

FCC Reactors & Vessels

Client: Refinery maintenance alliance | Location: South East | Discipline: Confined-space scaffolding

For fluid catalytic cracker turnarounds we deploy scaffolders who double as confined-space sentries. Access is installed, inspected, and staffed with rescue-ready teams before vessels open.

  • Confined-space attendants on every entry point
  • Custom aluminium decks for tight curves
  • Rescue drills rehearsed with refinery HSE leads
  • FCC expertise
  • Confined-space
  • Rescue drills

Gas infrastructure

Spalding Gas Plant

Client: HV operator | Location: Lincolnshire | Discipline: High-voltage scaffold & standby

The HV expansion required scaffold interfacing with live systems. DPL delivered advanced CISRS squads plus HV-aware rescue teams so isolations and lift plans cleared first time.

  • HV scaffolding with insulated barriers and tagging
  • Joint planning with turbine OEM technicians
  • Standby rescue teams drilled on site-specific evacuation routes
  • HV protocols
  • OEM coordination
  • Standby rescue

Mobilisation pipeline

Outage planners can drop into the sequence below to see when materials, crews, and QC touchpoints land.

Day 0 Desk aligns scope + comms

Control room receives schedule, permit, and welfare overview.

Day 1 Crews inducted & staged

Travel, lodging, and PPE tracked in the live dashboard.

Day 2 Access & insulation go live

Supervisors coordinate scaffold, thermal, and rescue rotations.

Day 5+ QA + demob

Photo evidence, permit close-out, and materials reconciliation.

FAQ

Answers for mobilisation and procurement leads.

From site visits to security passes, these are the questions new clients raise before looping us into their outage plan.
Can we visit an active mobilisation before onboarding?

Yes. We host accompanied site walks so commercial teams can see scaffold, thermal, and rescue rotations in motion before issuing a call-off.

How do you manage restricted or airside passes?

Our compliance desk renews airside, rail, and petrochemical passes, and keeps cleared operatives staged off-site for rapid substitution.

Do you provide rescue standby and safety reporting?

Standby rescue pods, gas monitoring, and daily HS2 or refinery assurance uploads are bundled with each package so safety stays audit-proof.

What reporting will my team receive?

Clients receive a live dashboard plus daily PDF digests covering inductions, permits, labour hours, and change-control items.
