time performance monitoring without the need to travel to site, keeping track of fuel levels, performance and maintenance requirements.


Being able to use this pioneering equipment and technology will allow apprentices studying at Stafford College to gain hands-on experience with industry-standard kit ensuring they leave with a good understanding of a wide range of construction machinery.


Reece Edwards, Head of Product and Service Excellence, said: “We’re proud of Selwood’s long-standing links with NSCG, where we have mentored dozens of students and supported many with apprenticeship placements over the years.


“The College’s work aligns perfectly with Selwood’s approach to educating young people about our industry and


helping to give them a head start when beginning their careers.


“We’re delighted to be deepening this relationship with the donation of a Selwood-manufactured S100 solids handling pump, which will provide the students with valuable hands-on experience of one of our flagship products, used in construction and water industry applications around the UK.


“We look forward to continuing to work closely with NSCG as we work together to support the industry stars of the future.”


Through its mutually beneficial partnership, Selwood and NSCG have worked together for more than 20 years, and in that time have nurtured dozens of construction plant workers, many of which have continued their


careers with the leading pump solutions company.


Curriculum Leader in Construction Plant, Eddie Peake, added: “We value the strong links we have forged with Selwood and appreciate this donation as a gesture to the partnership we have developed over many years.


“This donation will allow us to provide detailed, hands-on training to future construction workers, using modern high-end technologies that support a wide range of construction applications commonly found in industry.


“It is important for students to learn and develop skills using the latest equipment and technologies as this will help them transition smoothly from college to the work environment so we wish to extend heartfelt thanks to Selwood for this gesture.”


NADC to create new Waste Site Database


NADC has listened and decided to create a new and comprehensive waste site database that will be added to its existing NADC Hydrant App powered by eviFile. In a recent survey of members, the message was loud and clear that they would attach great value to a waste site database which would enable them to save time and money. The NADC Board has therefore committed to moving forward with a project to deliver this.


The specification for the site will include much more than simply the location; it will include information about the waste types that the site will accept (which won’t always correspond to the EWC Codes for which they are permitted) as well as any restrictions that they may have (such as limitations on discharge). The database will also include information such as availability of washouts, opening times, contact details and any pre-booking arrangements.


There will be no cost for sites to be included on the database, but there will be a level of due diligence to ensure that

The database will be for the use of NADC members only as an additional benefit of membership, and the cost will be wrapped into the existing cost of the Hydrant App, greatly adding to the value.


The NADC Board is also considering what additional data could be added to the App to enhance its value, such as special


supplier deals that are available to members only, up to date news, and even information on things such as the nearest public convenience!
