Our Story Geotech team have recently been supporting Story Contracting at Danes Hill, undertaking three soil test nails to a depth of 4m.

The team have utilised rope access and a Ripamonti rig mounted on a long-reach excavator to carry out the works safely and efficiently on challenging terrain.

The installed soil nails will be pull tested after four weeks, providing valuable performance data to inform the next phase of the works.

💪Our heavy lifter Colmar's making easy work of panel lifting

Our Salsburgh team recently supported Rail Systems Alliance Scotland at Polmadie, Glasgow. Utilising two of our tracked Colmar machines for their first tandem lift, they worked together to lift a 12,500kg switch panel.

As the highest-capacity RRVs in the Story Plant fleet, the machines handled the heavy lift with ease, helping the team deliver the works safely, efficiently, and to programme.

From our custom test track, used for training and plant machinery checks, to our in-house workshop and plant yard, everything plays a part in keeping our plant moving out to site, with our transport team stepping in to move machinery safely and efficiently to where it’s needed.

Our Geotech team has recently been supporting Story Contracting at the Futamura site in Wigton, Cumbria.

Following previous ground investigations that couldn’t fully pe*****te dense sands and gravels, the team mobilised ‘Big Blue’ (Comacchio Geo 405) to overcome the challenge. Using our Elemex drilling system, boreholes were successfully completed to depths of up to 15m.

The data gathered will play a crucial role in designing foundations for the installation of a Sulphur Oxidation Plant (SOP) along with a new operations and control building.
