WM Plant Hire used their 65 tonne excavator on the construction of a stormwater outfall in Fife as part of a large investment by Scottish Water.

The need to use a heavy duty rock drilling mast to stabilise a rail embankment required the CAT 345 with heavy lifting capability on this rail project near Tamworth.

Following a landslip on a key route in mid Wales, a machine with over 25m reach was required to drill rock anchors into the underlying material.

Works are ongoing to install deep leachate drains on a landfill site at depths up to 14m.

Worcestershire County Council are using rock armour to protect the historic Ham Bridge from the scour of the River Teme.

Heavy duty CAT 375 needed at the Port of Southampton to remove a concrete slab with an underwater breaker.

A landslip on the Wolverley Canal prompted swift action by British Waterways to remove the obstruction from the water and re-grade the embankment.

As the largest of its type in the UK, the CAT 375 is being used for maintenance dredging operations on the River Thames to ensure deep water is available at the Calor Gas berthing facility.

Work using the 95 tonne CAT 375 and the 60 tonne CAT 345 long reach machines on the redevelopment of the busy Port of Felixstowe is well underway by Costain, with extensive marine work in progress.
