The construction industry has tremendous potential for efficiency gains, and addressing material management is a key opportunity. Wastage, often caused by damage during transit, storage, or labelling mistakes, accounts for around 15% of all construction materials. By tackling these challenges, businesses can enhance productivity, reduce delays, and keep costs under control. One simple yet impactful solution is choosing the right builders’ bulk bags. Here’s how
Stronger For Longer
As such, improving construction project efficiency begins with finding safe ways to store and transport valuable materials such as sand, gravel, and aggregates.
Heavy-duty builders’ bags are made from extremely durable polypropylene. Its tensile strength is an impressive 38 MPa, making it resistant to abrasions. This is ideal for carrying rough, heavy loads in harsh environments. Importantly, the excellent tear-resistance of construction FIBCs ensures that this is done safely, securely, and without waste.
Move More For Less
Waste doesn’t always stem from damaged materials. Storage and transportation inefficiencies can cause a catalogue of costs. For instance, the more containers are moved, the more fuel, time, and labour are required. Statistics suggest that sluggish operations result in up to 70% of time being wasted on construction sites.
Bulk builders’ bags can reduce this problem with their impressive capacities. Heavy duty builders’ bags can hold between 500kg and 2,000kg. As such, large quantities of materials can be moved with minimal effort, boosting efficiency while reducing costs.
Safety First
On-site accidents and equipment failure are a leading cause of construction inefficiencies. Poor quality or collapsing equipment is one of the main reasons for on-site incidents. When moving heavy materials, equipment malfunctions can be something as simple as a bag handle snapping, or a minor abrasion turning into a giant rip. This highlights the opportunity to improve health and safety statistics in the construction industry, paving the way for a safer future.
Builders’ bulk bags are designed to the highest standards. This includes extensive testing to ensure that stringent strength and durability certifications are guaranteed. As such, project managers can trust the quality of the equipment while reducing the risk of downtime.
Communication
Builder’s bulk bags can even help you in avoiding communication setbacks. They feature safety labels with easy-to-read symbols, and carry clear, concise load-bearing certification. This gives critical information to operators in a way that is simple and swift. As such, the risk of errors and their associated catalogue of expenses can be minimised.
