Construction sites quickly build up debris. Keeping the worksite clean is more than keeping trash in roll-off dumpsters. Construction zones carry dirt and debris into the local roadways which can leave streets dirty and dangerous. Interfering with traffic due to road build up or obstructing water run-off isn’t only messy; it can be costly in terms of fines.
Street sweeping is a large part of general construction site maintenance that should never be forgotten.
Regardless of how conscious you are of keeping the nearby roadways free of dirt, it is an unavoidable consequence of construction. But do you need to invest in purchasing a street sweeper? Will that street sweeper meet all your needs at every construction location?
The answer is a clear no and no. It is a better idea and easier process to rent street sweeping services from Texas Johns.
Purchasing your own street sweeper is intimidating. There are several mistakes you can make that will, in the end, cost you time and money.
Mistake #1: Not Knowing Your Street Sweeping Needs
This is a problem because not every job site has the same demands. Not all street sweepers are the same. They differ in speed, disposal, and truck style.
There are determining factors for each street sweeping job. How fast does it need to go? How much area will the sweeper cover? Where will it be used? How far away will your sweeper be from your construction site? What about disposal? Will it be used more than once a day?
These are some of the questions that must be answered before a purchase. Simply going out and investing in a street sweeper never guarantees you’ll be able to successfully meet your site’s cleaning needs.
Mistake #2: Not Having a Skilled Operator
A trained and skilled operator must use the sweeper. It must be user friendly or else you will be spending more time in training multiple users to operate it. Time and money will be saved by using a street sweeping rental service.
Mistake #3: Lack of Research
If you do not take the time to get the right equipment for your job site, your purchase may be futile. If you are not familiar with the various versions available, you will need to set aside time to explore the numerous sweeping vehicles available in the market.
You want to ensure your sweeper will be suitable to your project, and for all of your sites.
