The MGF Exports Team continues to demonstrate its commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality solutions sailing from the UK. One of their latest ventures took them to De La Mare, Jersey, where they were called upon to support a challenging excavation project. The task involved designing and supplying a bespoke shoring system tailored to the unique site conditions and a demanding construction schedule. Despite the logistical challenges of working offshore, MGF ensured that every aspect of the solution, from initial design to final delivery.

The project was led by D.B Cummins (Jersey) Ltd, who were tasked with installing a new foul pumping chamber tank. Faced with challenging ground conditions and a pressing timeline, they turned to MGF for technical expertise and dependable equipment. The excavation measured 15m x 12m x 3m deep, with groundwater encountered at just 2m below the surface. The site was dominated by poor clay soils, which added further complexity to the task and required a carefully engineered support solution.
MGF’s design team worked closely with D.B Cummins to develop a safe and efficient system that would meet both the technical requirements and the programme constraints. The Managing Director of D.B Cummins praised MGF’s contribution, stating, “The technical design and information provided by MGF was very helpful and gave us confidence when presenting the solution to our client.”
To streamline the process, all equipment was pre-assembled at MGF’s Tring Depot. This included 254UC and 203UC braces, along with a robust 60T cross strut. Once ready, the system was shipped via Southampton docks directly to Jersey, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum efficiency.
This project is a testament to MGF’s ability to deliver tailored solutions under pressure, combining technical expertise with logistical precision. The successful outcome in Jersey reinforces MGF’s reputation as a trusted partner for complex groundworks across the UK and internationally.
