In addition, Trench Control is also working with main contractors; quantity surveyors and consulting engineers to provide a free design and quotation service for all Sheet piling; concrete piling and anchoring works.

In operation since 1980, Trench Control designs are fully covered under PI insurance and their ability to provide solutions for all types of piling and anchoring projects gives the industry a 'one-stop-shop' for piling design and installation.

Paul Jenkinson, General Manager of Trench Control in Northern Ireland, commented: "Trench Control has invested heavily in our staff and equipment, offering brand new hire equipment across the product range. We guarantee customers superior equipment at very competitive prices and invite customers to test us out. Mike is a great addition to our team and will soon become a familiar face to our customers across Northern Ireland."

The expansion of Trench Control is also related to the introduction of a new pothole repair system, called 'Eco Road Repair' that has been introduced by Trench Control to offer an improved performance on traditional pothole repair methods. The system will fix a pothole in 20 minutes, with the resulting repaired road guaranteed for years before another fix is required.
