A comprehensive range of products
Uisce Éireann aim to deliver safe, sustainable water and wastewater services, reduce leakage and undertake vital maintenance and repairs to the water network. To facilitate these essential works, Groundforce provides a fleet of modular shoring, trenching and excavation support systems; crucial for safe and efficient utility projects, particularly for deep water mains, sewers and culvert based systems. Such equipment may include:
Groundforce’s range of specialist equipment
With a portfolio of products stretching far beyond the usual scope of typical construction equipment, Groundforce successfully offer niche products, providing a range of equipment for more specialist areas. For example, advanced pipe pressure testing procedures are made possible using Pressure Test+, a bespoke app which gives real time predictions and instant test results.
Groundforce also offer a range of EMVs, Side Grip Piling Hammers, Impact Hammers and Culvert Pullers: a resolute commitment to continued investment means more specialist equipment has been introduced. For example, SWARM Vibration Monitor is the most efficient, high-quality vibration monitoring system on the market. Incorporating MEMS technology, the SWARM Vibration Monitor takes accurate real-time measurements and sends data wirelessly to an online web platform: a huge benefit for Uisce Éireann contractors and critical for sensitive projects operating in urban environments.
Digital innovation makes Groundforce a slick and agile operation
Groundforce’s use of advanced design software and 3D modelling empowers engineers to visualise and plan complex temporary works in advance; reducing the likelihood of unforeseen complications on-site and facilitating cost-efficient and timely outcomes.
The introduction of YourSolution and YourSolution+ sends Groundforce’s service offering to another level. Hailed as a game-changer by contractors working in temporary works, and finalist at the Construction Marketing Awards (CMA) 2023, this innovative tool allows those working in Uisce Éireann projects to speed up the way they can receive a temporary works design by inputting basic information. Available 24/7 via the Groundforce Customer Portal, YourSolution takes a task that is complex on many levels and simplifies the process; making it much faster and far less laborious. For Uisce Éireann projects, this is a great resource when a fast solution is paramount, for example when undertaking emergency water repair works.
