MGF’s, Dave Moores recently spoke to the ADA Gazette Spring 2015 edition, the official magazine of the Association of Drainage Authorities, about the benefits of manufacturing in the UK.
North West based manufacturer of excavation support systems MGF continue to invest and expand UK manufacturing through their Wigan and Yorkshire operations. As a market leader in the UK shoring industry, MGF has been supplying bankside retention solutions to UK canals, riverbanks and marinas for over 30 years, developing bespoke solutions to both reactive and planned maintenance works.
Dave Moores of MGF Capital Sales division, comments “We have spent many years collaborating with local authorities, utilities organisations and private customers to understand their needs. By manufacturing in the UK we can ensure that our products; meet British quality manufacturing standards, get to our customers quickly via our transport fleet and have a reduced carbon footprint as we do not rely on imports. Our design team is based in-house which allows us to work together with our customers to provide bespoke manufactured solutions. Although British manufacturing can be perceived to be at a premium cost, our rates remain very competitive. The added value service we provide includes complimentary temporary works design to support customers in technically challenging bankside retention projects.”
In addition to cold rolled trench sheets MGF also design and manufacture a Waler and Tie Back System as a versatile solution to bankside protection that can be used in a range of configurations to suit different ground conditions. Manufactured to MGF specifications in the Yorkshire based production facility, the system is supplied as a combination of L8 trench sheets, waler rails and tie back rods.
