Our long reach excavators are ideally suited to deep excavations including cofferdams, access shafts, cut and cover tunneling, deep drainage trenches and installation/removal of underground storage tanks. On remediation contracts, underground obstructions such as gas storage tanks, steel or brickwork chambers can be removed at safe working distances. Deep insitu excavation of contaminated material can be carried out for soil mixing and treatment.
We have been involved in several specialised civil engineering projects requiring the use of our long reach excavators, demonstrating their versatility in carrying out a wide range of tasks. Such operations are beyond the reach of standard machines. Recent Projects: |
