OUR EXPERTISE
Allied Infrastructure were founded in 1994 as “Allied Cutting & Drilling” - a specialist civils contractor, with capabilities in concrete cutting, core drilling, and AGL civils. We have retained and built upon these capabilities over our 30-year history, and are therefore one of the most experienced contractors within the UK marketplace. We are able to provide a wide range of cutting and drilling services – including (but not limited to):
-
Floor Sawing
-
Wire Sawing
-
Core Drilling
-
Concrete Bursting
-
Track Sawing
Our multi-skilled Supervisors and Operatives are extensively experienced in carrying out these activities, and hold all relevant qualifications (such as NVQs in Cutting and Drilling). We also maintain a large cache of in-house equipment, sourced from leading suppliers such as Diaquip, Husqvarna and Hilti.
We are particularly experienced in delivering cutting and drilling works within time-sensitive conditions, and constrained environments - such as around existing structures and services. When undertaking works of this nature, we provide Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) to our clients, to help identify the correct solution. Through site visits and early engagement, we are able to recommend the appropriate equipment and methodology, enabling the works to be delivered in a safe, timely and high-quality manner.
CUTTING & DRILLING
Manchester Airport – T2 Gyratory
Allied Infrastructure are currently delivering this project for MASHco, the incumbent fuel management contractor at Manchester Airport. MASHCo have been required by the airport to re-locate a number of fuel mains, as part of a wider re-configuration of the airfield. MASHCo appointed Allied as the Principal Contractor for these works, which are being delivered in phases. The Allied team carry out floor-sawing of the PQ concrete pavement, before removing the material, and allowing MASHCo’s team to carry out works to the exposed fuel main. We are then responsible for reinstating the concrete pavement.
A significant challenge on this project was the requirement to deliver the works over and around high-pressure aviation fuel mains. We worked closely with MASHCo and MAG to plan the works, and secure approval for our methodology. As mechanical break-out was not permitted, we carried stitch-drilling and floor-sawing, before removing the PQ concrete with suction lifting plant. This has enabled us to deliver these works safely and effectively, within the site constraints.
