Partnership forged to provide modular Coronavirus screening stations in UK

TEXO Group has forged a partnership with SSI Energy to provide modular coronavirus screening stations in the UK.

The partnership will combine SSI Energy’s range of Covid-19 screening and testing services with Texo Accommodation’s range of flexible, modular buildings which offer high-quality, rapidly deployed welfare facilities.

SSI Energy has developed screening and testing services delivered by qualified medical personnel, which includes the Covid-19 Rapid testing kit.

The SSI Energy/Texo modular Coronavirus screening stations will be targeted at sites of critical national infrastructure such as ports, airports and heliports, logistics centres and major construction sites.

The modular concept is designed and manufactured by Texo Accommodation partner, ELA Container, the German modular building specialist

Jules Rawles, SSI Energy director, said: “There is a clear need to ensure the safety of all people who are required to go to work and screening and testing is an essential part of this.

“The facilities required to offer this service are best offered outside of the premises which is why this partnership is particularly effective.”

Richard Lamb, Texo Accommodation managing director, said: “The situation around working practices and the pandemic has been fast moving and requirements on how to work safely have been changing just as quickly.

“This partnership reflects the need to provide robust and accurate screening and testing to prevent the spread of Covid-19, while also meeting requirements for social distancing and general welfare.

“Clearly people having to stand and wait outside is suboptimal. The SSI Energy/Texo modular Coronavirus screening centre provides a truly flexible solution for facilities where essential workers need to come and go.”
