New Office in Staffordshire
Deep Soil Mixing Ltd has just opened a new office in Seighford, Staffordshire, and plans to recruit more people from the surrounding area in 2017.
The Bedfordshire-based company has grown significantly over the past year, as a result of numerous successful soil mixing projects across the UK, to become a multi-million-pound annual turnover business.
The recently opened office in Staffordshire is located at Ladford Covert in Seighford, and the company plans to use this new workplace to carry our Research and Development of their soil mixing plant and equipment to enable them to undertake projects of every scale, including HS2 projects.
Deep Soil Mixing Ltd MD Robert McGall comments: “Our new office located in the Staffordshire region presents us with greater opportunities to further expand our business, our technology, and our impact within and the value we can add to the construction and civil engineering sectors.”
He adds: “The new office in Seighford launched following a successful year of projects in the surrounding areas, including the installation of 1,000 soil mixed panels at the Mersey Gateway project in Runcorn, Cheshire, soil mixing for roads on a housing site in Harrowby Road, Bilston, for Kier Living, a project that won the Institute of Highways Engineers Mercia Environmental and Sustainability Award and was shortlisted for an Institute of Civil Engineers award; and the completion of a research project into the use of soil mixing for the remediation of a landfill site as well as a soil stabilisation project in Runcorn, Cheshire, where the soil had to be stabilised and any chemicals contained in the ground locked in, before Contractors could start work on the construction of the site which would contain a public house, restaurant, coffee house, car park and access roads.
Our plan is to build on the success we had last year and create more job openings locally.”
The company was established in 2012 in Greenfield, Bedfordshire, and has grown to become one of the world’s leading soil mixing ground remediation contractors with extensive experience of applying advanced soil stabilisation and deep soil mixing technology to a wide range of construction projects.
Fellow Director Colin Critchlow says: “Over the past five years, we’ve expanded the company substantially and now have eleven members of staff – and we plan to increase our team size further over the course of this year.
“The new location presents us with a great opportunity to develop the soil mixing equipment we use, which in turn will benefit our projects and clients as well as the civil engineering sector. In fact, Robert McGall has already designed a new double rotary mixing head to increase mixing capacity and consistency, so we’re off to a promising start.”
The company is not standing still and has plans in motion to open an office in Northern Ireland where they have already undertaken several soil mixing projects including Dromore, Downpatrick and Derry/Londonderry. Colin adds: “We are planning to open a new office in Northern Ireland this Summer, and we intend to have a positive impact on future soil mixing projects close to both areas as well as on the local economies.
“Thanks to our new Seighford office, we look forward to recruiting more people from the Staffordshire area later this year.”
