The expansion into new techniques, alongside investment in a new rig, an ABI TM17, allows the company to take on more challenging work and enter into previously untapped markets.

Aarsleff's ABI TM17 is a high-performance telescopic leader rig for drilling and piling applications and features the ABI VV latest technology and high-performance auger attachments. The TM17 maximises performance while using considerably less fuel than previous models. Furthermore, from an operator's perspective, the TM17 is fitted with safety cameras and total monitoring equipment to make manoeuvring, driving and all techniques much safer and more efficient.

Steve Gilbank, Aarsleff's operations manager, said: "We're in such a great position to deliver our new capabilities. Backed by the knowledge and expertise from our Danish parent company Per Aarsleff A/S, we're ready to kickstart the new year by offering contiguous walls, secant pile walls, sheet piled walls, king post walls and VDW drilling to our valued clients across the UK."
