Mark Pickard, UK Managing Director<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"As Altrad RMD Kwikform marks ten years in the ground shoring market, we sit downwith UK Managing Director, Mark Pickard, to gain insights into the journey so far and what the future holds. With a track record of industry-leading innovation and customer-focused solutions, thecompany\u2019s progress is as much a story of resilience as it is one of success.<\/p>\n

Mark reflects on the past decade with a mix of pride and ambition:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe journey hasn\u2019t been without its challenges. The pandemic and other setbacks tested our resilience. Over the past decade, however, the introduction of ground shoring to our offering has grown to make a significant contribution to our business. Now fully integrated into our operations, it is supported by our branch network and available across four regions globally.\u201d<\/p>\n

This achievement, Mark highlights, is the result of a collective effort:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cOur success is a testament to the collective efforts of our team. Innovators like Ian Fryer, our Global Product Innovation Director, have led the way with pioneering products, while our product development and engineering team\u2019s passion for innovation has been instrumental. Together, they have developed a range of products that stand out in the market for their unmatched performance. Designed to rigorous EN1090 standards and CE marked, these solutions prioritise safety, efficiency, and strength, leveraging advanced Finite Element Analysis techniques and load testing to deliver equipment engineered with stronger materials like S460 steel.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the core of the company\u2019s approach lies a commitment to innovation and problem-solving. The Tubeshor Active Thermal Compensator<\/a> (ATC) is our latest product launch. This accessory significantly reduces thermal loading - by up to 90% compared to mechanically locked props - and demonstrates our commitment to advancing the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
