    Our Groundforce Bridge team has successfully installed another 12.6m x 3.5m bridge on a transmission line in the remote islands of Scotland! Despite the challenges posed by the rugged terrain and complex transport logistics, our team delivered with precision and received excellent feedback from the customer.

    It was a pleasure to work with Coleman's on this Storm Tank project! The challenge was providing a solution using only 2 levels of frames and taking into account the ground conditions... Groundforce Shorco used a mixture of Maxi & Mega frames to create a slit trench installation, giving the clear opening required for the tank installation.

    Our Coleman Construction and Utilities team is delivering a civil engineering project for Galliford Try. The scope of works includes excavation, breakout and construction of reinforced concrete slabs, walls and surrounds, drainage, ducting and pits, new kerbing, bollards and roads and well as making good existing layouts. Our Site Manager Steve Ball is on-hand to support our project delivery teams and progress is good. Works in progress include building the storm tank 6.7m x 4.7m x 4m, with a slip trench 9.7m x 7.7m to prove the route for the sheet piles and then backfilling. Using an EMV to drive in the sheet piles to the specified depth, we then excavated down to install the first whaler and so on, until complete – all in accordance with our Temporary Works Design. We have then installed a shingle bed for the drainage - using a sump pump to cope with groundwater and rainfall. Blinding concrete was then laid, so our formworkers could install the shuttering for the base, and our steelfixers could then install the bottom and top reinforcement and starter bars for the kicker. Following on from this, we poured the base via a concrete boom pump. Next up the walls, which are being constructed using steel pan shutters - Vp Groundforce. Thanks to all for their great work and support to date! #colemanconstructiongroup Coleman Construction Group (a brand including Coleman Construction & Utilities Ltd and Coleman Rail) Barry Coleman

    Have you heard how we supported Gallagher Group Ltd's water management system installation? With our Premier Trench Boxes on site, the team were able to go ahead with the construction of their groundwater storage tank on a site in Kent. The high clearance under the struts allowed room for waterproofing of the culvert before backfilling the excavation.

    Earlier this year the team delivered a bespoke shoring solution in Dublin! Modular hydraulic equipment was supplied by Groundforce to support the build of a new eight-storey campus building in the city centre for the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI).
