Construction & Maintenance Workwear Profile

Welcome to our Construction & Maintenance "What to Wear page", a Helly Hansen Workwear guide to what workwear you should be wearing to keep you comfortable throughout the day or night.

Construction & Maintenance a little known fact

In the fields of architecture and civil engineering, construction is a process of assembling buildings and infrastructure. Rather than a single activity, large scale construction is an exploit of multitasking. Normally the job is managed by the project manager and supervised by the construction manager, design engineer, construction engineer or project architect. The workwear required by such diverse challenge of activity is well met by Helly Hansen Workwear one of the very few workwear companies who have such an extensive multi-discipline experience to draw on.

Trade Professional

Construction & Maintenance trades and professions for health & safety reasons are highly regulated. Non conformity is highly penalised. So it really does pay to conform. Working in the Construction and Maintenance industries is all about being seen EN 471 High –Vis clothing requirements dominate as a priority requirement, but not in Helly Hansen’s view at the expense of comfort or design. We know you can have both. The common thread with all our construction and maintenance clothing is that the designs are feature packed which simply allow you to get on with the job.
