M O'Brien's dedication to providing reliable, high-quality service to their customers, regardless of the project's size, is evident in their commitment to investing in the highest quality equipment. They offer a comprehensive service to Tier 1 Contractors and Landowners, encompassing the demolition of existing structures, earthworks, and civil engineering works. This delivers a complete solution for any development, with safety at the forefront of their operations.
The company holds the belief that if a job cannot be executed safely, it should not be undertaken at all. In partnership with clients who share their commitment to safety, M O'Brien aims to ensure that every individual involved can return home safely every day. M O'Brien is always looking for innovative ways to improve construction safety. They have developed several tools that have contributed to establishing a culture of safety on construction sites, which are now widely adopted in the industry.
The Molson Group, the UK's premier dealer of Kobelco machinery, plays an important role in distributing Kobelco's high-quality equipment across their regions. This partnership benefits both by extending Kobelco's market reach and enhancing Molson's product lineup.
As a respected dealer of Xwatch Safety Solutions, Molson Group has bought another 12 Xwatch XW5 systems , this month to be installed on Kobelco machines. M O'Brien, having implemented Xwatch technology since 2020 to improve site safety, benefits from the XW5's comprehensive safety features. The system offers a total safe working envelope for the machine and operator, controlling the machine's height, slew, and rated capacity indication, thus ensuring both operator and machine safety for complete peace of mind.
The incorporation of the advanced XW5 systems into Kobelco machinery signifies a step forward in M O'Brien's strategy to improve operational safety. Recognising the value of the Xwatch system, Molson Group and M O'Brien have committed to Xwatch safety systems for M O'Brien's entire fleet moving forward. This decision highlights the ongoing productive relationship among Molson, M O'Brien, and Xwatch, establishing yet another benchmark for safety within the construction sector. The commitment to utilising advanced safety technology demonstrates the company's dedication to the well-being of their workforce and operational efficiency.
The upgrade of the first two Kobelco SK350 excavators with XW5 systems by Xwatch engineers Billy Hughes and Adam Guilfoyle at Molson's Darlington facility has been completed and marks the beginning of this new phase. These excavators, now equipped with the latest safety technology, are ready for delivery to M O'Brien, showcasing the commitment to improving safety and operational efficiency in construction equipment.
Jemma Dycer-Hopkins, Xwatch Sales and Business Development Manager, is really happy with the partnership, saying, "Molson Group is an excellent partner to Xwatch, and we are very pleased that M O'Brien has confirmed their RCI, height and slew safety systems will be entirely comprised of Xwatch moving forwards. We thank Molson and O'Brien for their trust and support of the Xwatch suite of products over the years and look forward to continuing our partnership."
