Moving the dinosaur footprints 25 June 2008
The
management of a project has rarely taxed our resourcefulness and ingenuity
more than the handling of 168 million-year-old dinosaur footprints.
Embedded in limestone in a working quarry, the footprints were
‘dug out’ and are being stored in their own microclimate within OES’s
secure warehouse.
Later in the year they will be installed in an Oxfordshire museum and we will be keeping you up to date with the twists and turns of this fascinating, and sometimes controversial, project.
Improving access to our services 18 April 2008
OES has always been committed to providing the highest levels of service
to our clients and it is with this in mind that we have re-designed our website
to be more accessible and more search engine friendly.
It also includes a password protected client area where trusted clients can get more detailed information about, for instance, vehicle and crating specifications or schedules for part loads. Please ask your OES contact for a username and password if you require this facility.
Expanding our operations 18 April 2008
A new project manager has been recruited to assist with our continuing
expansion. On the international front, our accreditation as a bonded warehouse
has enabled us to move into the handling of art fairs as works protected by customs bonds can be removed from the warehouse for a period of ninety days.
In October 2007 we imported and installed work for contemporary galleries from around the world exhibiting at the Frieze Art Fair in Regents Park.
Reducing our carbon footprint 18 April 2008
We are committed to providing more environmentally friendly art deliveries
and have taken delivery of a new liquid petroleum gas (LPG) powered vehicle.
This can operate within the capital’s Congestion Zone and will be used
to service museums in the centre of London.
In the near future, we will also be fitting particulate traps to the exhaust pipes of all our fleet. These filters reduce emissions of soot and will allow the vehicles to operate within the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) without incurring penalty charges.
