Machinery & Equipment

We have access to state-of-the-art machinery and equipment from Europe’s largest fleet of rigs and machinery. Our fleet of specialised rigs enables us to install rigid inclusions efficiently, ensuring efficiency and precision.

One of the key pieces of equipment in our fleet is the displacement auger, which plays a crucial role in the installation process. We ensure to regularly maintain our machinery and equipment to ensure reliability and optimal performance.

Value-Engineering

Installing rigid inclusions naturally has some environmental benefits. The use of lower-strength concrete and the absence of reinforcement in rigid inclusions result in reduced material consumption compared to traditional piling methods. Using a displacement auger also minimises soil excavation, leading to less waste and reduced impact on the environment.

We take pride in delivering our rigid inclusions while keeping sustainability in mind. As part of our sustainability strategy, we continuously explore new ways to enhance the eco-friendliness of our operations. From adopting fully electric machinery to minimising waste on-site, we strive to set the industry standard for value engineering.
