Pictured here is our recent fleet addition a new Marchetti CW25.35L 25 tons telescopic crawler crane on hire to Bowmer & Kirkland  at Centre Parcs in Woburn Forest, Bedfordshire.

The machine has an incredibly small footprint yet still boasts a 25 m long telescopic boom, which as you can see is proving very useful inside the new leisure centre area of the woodland retreat. It is on concreting and shuttering duties for the next few months. This is its second job and such is the demand, we have already ordered another for delivery at the end of October!

We recently supplied 2 crawler cranes on hire to BAM Nuttall at Kings Cross, London to assist with the assembly of a Victorian gas holder frame, which had been restored for posterity as part of the refurbishment of the area around the Regents Canal.

Keller Geotechnique  have been hiring an RTG RG16T telescopic leader rig with twin rotary head from us installing 7 m deep 406 mm dia hard / firm secant piles in Mayfair. The machine was chosen for its ability to work within close proximity of an adjacent wall. In this case just 100 mm!

Pictured here is an RTG RG19T telescopic leader rig installing 750 mm dia CFA piles to 15 m in Lewisham, London for Aspin Foundations.

The RTG is most famous for installing sheet piles with a vibrator however it is an extremely versatile rig and with a quick change of equipment can be used to drill CFA piles, secant piles or carry out soil mixing with either twin paddle or triple paddle systems.

These piles are being constructed for a contiguous piled retaining wall, though made ground, gravels and stiff London clay.
