Geotechnical and ground source heat specialist suppliers, MGS, have enhanced their range of ground investigation products with new photoboards for use in demanding applications.
To improve core and soil sampling management within the ground investigation operations of their clients, MGS have released a custom photoboard product to cover all labelling requirements.
Photoboards are made from a durable dry-wipe surface, used to help clearly record and identify core samples from site investigations.
“To help ensure full traceability in ground investigation sampling, especially for challenging projects, we are excited to launch our bespoke photoboard product for use in applications such as trial pit, rotary core, line and laboratory sample logging” states Darren Portway, Division Manager at MGS.
Given the demanding applications in which MGS products are typically used, the photoboards have been made with durable, weather-resistant materials, making them perfectly suited for consistent use even in harsh site conditions.
As a tailored service, MGS are also offering their photoboards to be entirely customisable with company branding, allowing companies to display their logo, colours, fonts and contact details.
All photoboards include graduated 10mm scales, clearly legible markers, labels and colour reference charts to correctly fulfil any requirements for exploratory hole documentation.
“With clear and concise labelling on coreboxes, customers can improve the quality and precision of the data by assigning samples with a unique project name, number, date and other important information needed” adds Darren.
Established in 1988, MGS are a leading manufacturer and supplier of specialist quality products for use in ground investigation, water well and geothermal drilling applications, railway drainage, landfill gas extraction and more.
MGS products, including their industry-leading Rhino Corebox, have been instrumental in major ground investigation projects where core samples need to be transported long distances back for laboratory testing.
“With a prominent position in the geotechnical industry, we are proud to be enhancing our product ranges to give even greater features and benefits to the clients we supply. We are confident the new photoboards will help logging requirements be met and we look forward to assist more ground investigation projects with our innovative products in the years to come” concludes Darren.

Geotechnical and ground source heat specialist supplier, MGS, have expanded their Thermo-Loops® range to include larger diameter pipes that meet the growing demands for higher capacity ground source heat pump systems.
Previously only available in 32mm and 40mm, their Thermo-Loops® pipes can now be supplied in 45mm and 50mm diameters to support more demanding ground source heat applications.
The new diameters of MGS Thermo-Loops® are supported by a full range of electrofusion fittings, including those for the 45mm Thermo-Loops®.
“Smaller diameter loops can experience pressure drops in deeper borehole installations. So, our 45mm and 50mm Thermo-Loops® are designed to help alleviate this issue and ensure deeper systems operate at maximum efficiency,” states Darren Portway, Division Manager at MGS.
MGS Thermo-Loops® have become a leading product for geothermal contractors, with their loops being installed in ground source heating system projects across the UK and Europe.
Ground source heat pumps are an increasingly popular form of low-carbon heating systems which extract ambient warmth from the ground to heat buildings and properties.
A borehole is drilled in the ground, into which the Thermo-Loop® is installed. Powered by a pump, a glycol fluid is circulated around the loop to extract heat from the ground and deliver it back to the heat pump where it passes through a compressor to increase the temperature. It is then passed through a heat exchanger and transferred to radiators or underfloor heating to heat the building. Thermal loops can also help provide cooling by reversing the process to transfer excess heat from the building to the ground.
Since the company added the supply of ground source materials to its extensive product range in 2004, MGS has been at the forefront of geothermal and ground source heat supplies with their Thermo-Loops® receiving notable success.
This sustainable method of heating is becoming progressively more popular for its low running costs, energy efficiency and environmental benefits.
“Ground source heat extraction is increasingly the best solution for residences, businesses, and industrial buildings to create more sustainable and cost-effective heat. With our expanded range of Thermo-Loops®, ground source heat systems can be deeper and larger with ease and dependability,” adds Darren.
Established in 1988, MGS are a leading manufacturer and supplier of specialist quality products for use in ground investigation, water well and geothermal drilling applications, railway drainage, landfill gas extraction, and more.
Produced in the UK, the Thermo-Loops® are made from virgin grade PE100-RC, which is a very durable crack resistant polyethylene material, ensuring a maximum lifespan. The MGS Thermo-Loops® are manufactured in accordance with Ground Source Heat Pump Association standards to ensure the underground heat exchange system is built to last.
“We’re excited to continue developing new products and support our industry with innovative geothermal solutions that ensure heating is heading towards a sustainable and cost-effective future,” concludes Darren.
