Solutions for Groundworks Construction

Below ground excavations need to take into account a wide range of factors, including the type of excavation, whether it’s one, two or four-sided, and its environment, whether it’s on a green field site, an urban location or a more congested area. From shallower trenches to deep basement excavations, Altrad RMD Kwikform offers an extensive range of safe, robust and efficient groundworks construction products.

By working closely with you, we can help specify a solution that will meet a project’s exact criteria, covering key considerations such as ground movement, deflection of adjacent buildings, construction phases, on-site restrictions, unusual geometries and ground conditions. As part of our commitment to the highest standards of manufacturing and design, we also offer the first fully CE-marked fleet of ground shoring and trenching solutions available in the market, meeting EN 1090 standards for execution class 3.

What our customers think

“It has made such a difference knowing I could go straight to one supplier for the ground shoring kit and formwork. I have one point of contact and know that Altrad RMD Kwikform’s engineers are some of the best in the business.” Damian Barnett, Project Manager at Interclass Construction Services

“I have a very good relationship with Altrad RMD Kwikform. They have attracted experts I’ve worked with at other ground engineering companies and knowing the experience they have and the trust I have in the team, it made them the natural choice for our project.” Will Roach, CPC Civils

Factors to consider when specifying
a groundworks project

When installing pipes and other utilities, contractors will require lightweight trench systems. We offer manhole, trench, drag and backhoe boxes to meet this need, suitable for either shallow excavations or ones up to 5.5 metres deep.
With basements now going deeper than ever before, the structural designs for these projects are becoming increasingly more sophisticated. Our heavy-duty walers and props can help meet these demands.
BIM and 3D CAD software can help bring groundworks projects to life. Our 3D visualisation tool, LocusEye, means you can view, interrogate and ‘walk through’ an excavation, providing a real-life representation of our solutions.
Whether it’s cofferdams and tank installations that have to take into account water levels, or large basement excavations in areas with poor ground conditions, health and safety should never be compromised.
There’s no substitute for experience. Proven on groundworks projects all around the world, our engineers will work with you to understand the exact requirements of your project, delivering efficient and cost-effective solutions that meet your needs.
