Contingency plans

Every company has an evacuation plan in case of emergency. What is your plan if a pumping station fails or a dike is breached? What if your pumping station can’t cope with the high water level caused by a storm and there’s a threat of homes being flooded? 

Van Heck is frequently called in when an emergency strikes, so we know exactly what’s required for an adequate response. Speed and a ready solution are then of utmost importance. Van Heck’s contingency plans provide guidance, while Van Heck’s flexible professionals manage the situation. 

So when disaster strikes, everything runs according to plan. 

Van Heck then sets to work on drawing up the contingency plan that describes, among other things, the required pump capacities, supply routes and other necessary materials. In order to be certain of a solution, we prepare two or three different scenarios in the contingency plan, which makes a crisis manageable. A contingency plan enables all parties to act even faster, because the local situation is known and all involved know what to do.
