Drilling and Grouting Applications
Traditionally our core markets have been ground stabilisation for property development, and permeability reduction in reservoir dams. However, in recent years we’ve seen an increase in demand of grouting pipelines, the construction of injected cutoff walls, and the emplacement of resin block and curtains for both hydrological and structural purposes. Our project teams work closely with materials specialists to design bespoke solutions for emplacement and curing properties, with every scheme appreciated for its uniqueness. Our client profile now includes major utilities companies, civil engineering contractors, housebuilders, central and local government functions, and private individuals. Whether your project is designed to prevent a future problem, or solve a current one, our drilling and grouting team are here to support you every step of the way.
