Our in-house maintenance department

EMC’s maintenance department maintains, repairs and monitors all our equipment and machinery. With a team of 10 people, this department is responsible for the maintenance of over 150 different machines, ranging from hydraulic shovels and mini-loaders to skips, bins, weighbridges, depollution stations and shredding lines.

To guarantee optimum management and maximum efficiency, we use CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) software, which enables us to track the maintenance requirements of each piece of equipment in real time, plan interventions and manage spare parts stocks.
