MGS hosted a cake sale on Friday and raised £63.16 for the Marie Curie charity.
MGS has been appointed UK distributor for 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.
“We have done a lot of research and have asked the end user (drillers and engineers) what they would want in a manhole cover. What many end users had wanted were a heavier duty skirt and cover, larger bolts, and an overall better cover. We have taken all of this into consideration and have manufactured a new manhole cover that we believe 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 Darren and Technical Sales Engineer Richard Houghton are pictured receiving their official distributor status from Jeff Garby.
Can you win the Core Bit Challenge? That was the question facing visitors to MGS’s stand at Geotechnica last week.
The test was to identify the correct core bit for different ground conditions. Up for grabs were Core Bit Challenge polo shirts and caps to prove who knows their rocks!
“It was a bit of fun and turned out to be really popular. It also gave visitors the chance to see close-up some of the core bits we supply,” said Technical Sales Engineer Chris White.
Also on the stand was the Pagani TG63-150 CPTu rig and TGAS-08 which, together with the new MGS DataHub, transfer data from the field direct to Keynetix Cloud. The rig is then going to Brunel University, in a partnership between MGS and Pagani, where it will be used as part of education, technical development and research.
Also on show was the Tecop TEC 130/130 RAM SPT unit.
The stand was designed to showcase the four cornerstones of MGS’s site investigation business.
- Drilling installation and consumables
- Pagani CPTu and TECOP drilling rigs
- Drilling tooling
- Water monitoring Divers
Geotechnica is the UK’s largest Geotechnical Conference and exhibition and took place at the Warwickshire Event Centre.
One rig, one job with continuous liner samples for the full depth of the hole.
That’s what you get with the new DRF System which enables a rotary rig, in conjunction with a soil sampling hammer, to dynamically sample through overburden and then go straight into rotary coring.
The DRF – Dynamic Sampling and Rotary Follow-on – will be on the MGS stand (2&3) at Geotechnica this week.
“Using one casing size for leaner drilling production makes it possible to deliver an in-demand service to customers,” explained Chris White, MGS Technical Sales Engineer.
The system comprises a specially-designed drive head with integrated keyways for a stronger more robust coupling and easier head removal, drive collar, spacer rod, sample casing and drive shoe to provide 76, 86, 101, 116 and 131mm samples.
