ASC Government Facility Cleaning Case Studies
The role of government authorities is to ensure that each and every nook and corner of the country remains clean at all times but maintaining cleanliness manually is quite tricky. For this reason, the use of ASC’s sweepers and scrubbers as government facility cleaning equipment has increased all around Australia. These machines have been using the latest technology for the past 28 years to keep different parts of the country dust-free and make them cleaner. The ASC MEP cleaning machine, in particular, has soared to popularity because of its durability, performance, and ability to suppress dust. It is the perfect industrial, commercial, and household noise-free, heavy-duty dust sweeper that can pick up not only fine dust but also gypsum and coal dust, leaves, paper, and general household waste.
To make cleaning easier and increase work efficiency, more and more organizations are relying on ASC’s machines, as shown by the government case study material in this section. From the Lithgow Council in the Blue Mountains investing in an ASC D 850 sweeper to the RAAF Amberley Base in Brisbane installing a new ASC M3 machine, the Australian Government has played a substantial role in making ASC’s machines must-have pieces of government facility cleaning equipment.
