Alucast – the revolutionary lightweight alternative to traditional cast iron covers have arrived!
MGS this week took delivery of the first stock from Canadian manufacturer Alucast Industries.
Alucast well covers are gaining popularity as an alternative to standard cast iron covers and, as the name suggests, are made from high quality H-20 aluminium. MGS is the UK distributor.
“We believe it is the most complete monitoring well cover on the market today,” said Alucast Director of Operations Jeff Garby.
“MGS sees this cover as a significant addition to our range. We are delighted to bring this product to the UK,” said MGS Drilling Division Manager Darren Portway.

MGS specially-designed telescopic shafts are being manufactured as part of the construction of two new cells at Erin Landfill.
Viridor Waste Ltd secured the services of specialist contractor Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK to construct the new cells and specified the use of MGS shafts. These telescopic extraction and monitoring shafts have proved to be a vital product in Viridor’s successful environmental control of landfill sites for more than 20 years.
Telescopic shafts were developed by MGS in 1998 and were first installed on a Viridor site. The advantage of telescopic shafts is they accommodate the large settlement within landfill waste and provide a long-term solution for monitoring and extraction of leachate.
“We are proud of our position within the UK leachate drainage sector,” explained Division Manager Dave Bland. “Our telescopic shafts were designed to meet the long-term performance required and are now installed in most of the country’s landfills.”
Pictured are slotted drainage pipe, telescopic inner and outer sleeves and base sections, complete with gravel ring and multiple inlets.
It’s the same again! After 15 years of service, Blake Geoservices have replaced their SPT window sampling rig with …. another Tecop.
“As the last one served us so well we have decided to go for a direct replacement from Tecop,” explained Chris Blake.
The rig was delivered by MGS Technical Sales Engineer Chris White last week.
“Blake Geoservices had bought a TECOP TEC10, the original machine, new 15 years ago. It has been so reliable that Chris decided to buy another one. When I heard this, I told Carlos Wagenseil, TECOP’s export director, and he was over the moon. It is great to have loyal customers with repeat business. That’s why we decided I should deliver the machine and meet Chris Blake to thank him in person,” explained Chris White.
