RVT Group specialise in hazard control and we support a wide variety of projects, from major infrastructure and civil engineering projects to projects that quietly shape our every day lives.
With the diversity of works that take place on infrastructure projects, it is imperative that effective hazard control solutions are implemented.
We're proud to have supported health & safety strategies at HS2, Thames Tideway, Hinkley Point Power Station, Heathrow and many more.
Whether you are working in a city centre, a rural location, a top-down basement, a network of tunnels or a deep shaft, RVT are on hand to provide you with fully compliant hazard control solutions that will protect your workforce, the nearby public, and the environment.
For example, we can support with:
Local Exhaust Ventilation (LEV) systems can be tailored to your exact requirements, Eg. for extracting welding fume, solvent vapours & VOCs.
Dust control systems can be installed to extract and filter harmful dust, such as Silica (RCS). This is ideal for tunnel boring, blasting and other activities.
Install noise, dust, vibration and gas monitors to continuously monitor hazards and alert you when limits are breached & action is required.
Handling water must be done inline with regulatory requirements - we can help cleanse & neutralise silty water ready for discharge.
Force fresh air to deep into the work area using a powerful fan with up to 90m of ducting to ensure good air quality is maintained throughout your tunnel, shaft or basement.
Diesel machinery can cause a build up of dangerous emissions (DEEEs) - this can be avoided by using a Diesel Particulate Filter that removes 99% of harmful particulate.
Reduce noise pollution from site by installing perimeter fence noise barriers and stand-alone acoustic enclosures that can reduce generator noise by up to 59dB.
If you are unsure how to control a hazard on site, just complete our online form, and we will arrange for a qualified consultant to visit site and provide you with a tailored proposal.
RVT Group are a specialist hire company with a unique consultative approach. So, whether you already have a good idea of what you need, or you want to talk through your options with a specialist, we are happy to help!
During your free assessment, we will take the time to fully understand your challenges, before providing you with a fully compliant hazard control proposal. Simply fill out our online form and a consultant will be in touch to book in your free hazard control assessment.

On large scale construction projects, health and safety solutions need to be factored in at tender stage. RVT Group have supported many contractors with tenders, and we can provide supporting H&S documentation for you to submit. We can also offer environmental solutions, such as environmental monitoring and water treatment.
Depending on the complexity of the project, we can offer a ‘drop-and-go’ service, a part-installed service, a fully commissioned service, or a fully commissioned service with ongoing engineer support.
The bottom line is that we can offer you as much or as little support as you require.
RVT Group have been working closely with HS2 and all of their contractors/ subcontractors to provide a range of innovative health hazard controls to support their Safe at Heart initiative.
We are currently providing solutions to protect against hazards which include dust, noise, diesel particulate matter (DPM) and water pollution across multiple sites.
The sites that we have supported include; the Chiltern Twin Tunnels, Chalfont St Giles Shaft, Chalfont St Peter, Old Oak Common Station, Ruislip and Long Itchington.

Challenge: Working in a shaft is extremely high risk; Thames Tideway required a ventilation solution that would provide good quality air for the workers, especially as diesel plant was also operating in the shaft.
Solution: The entire shaft construction took place within a 23m high acoustic ‘head house’, minimising noise and light pollution. Taking into account the diesel plant and the possible gasses that could be present in the shaft, a bespoke ventilation system was designed, which included two Ventex CF 800S units, each providing 50,400m³/hour of airflow.
Challenge: A sewer required dewatering at a rate of 20-30m3/h to keep the area safe while the work team carried out repairs. Water from the excavation was highly turbid as it was being pumped from the bottom of an active work area.
Solution: After surveying the project, RVT installed a full water treatment system including a lamella settlement tank, chemical dosing units and pH adjustment. A real-time water monitor was also installed on site, which gave the team the ability to assess water quality levels in real-time.

This tool box talk explains all of the things you need to consider when calculating ventilation requirements & considering how it might be installed.
Section 61 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 regulates consent for planned construction work which is likely to significantly impact the local community and surrounding environment.
Preventing water pollution during a project is essential for environmental protection, worker safety and regulatory compliance, is your project doing all it can?
