Last weekend we teamed up with a ground investigation company working at a prestigious HQ in Swindon, Wiltshire. They were called in by their client to test the suitability of a car park prior to erecting some temporary offices. To do this, they undertook a series of pressure plate tests that measure the compression strength of the sub-base (in this case the tarmac).
This test involves very sensitive measuring equipment being put under pressure against a counterweight, in this case, our 13-tonne excavator, and reading the deflection of the ground.
Tiger Plant was able to offer a turnkey solution for our client in offering delivery & collection of a machine on the clients time scale, complete with an operator within a tight frame.
If you undertake ground investigation work and require an operated excavator on a short or long term basis we can comfortably undertake the following works:
We also undertake groundworks, including contract excavation, drainage and civil works. To find out more about groundworks solutions please click here: https://www.tigerplant.co.uk/groundworks/
Our operators are trained to CPCS standards, have experience in using the machines, operate safely and can drive any excavators from our range. Our excavator fleet ranges from micro digger to a 13-tonne excavator.
