NEW Telescopic Leader Rig Joins the Fleet

This is the third new rig the company has purchased in recent years, with the previous rigs being the hugely successful ABI TM12/15 and ABI TM20 LR Long Reach Telescopic Leader Rigs.

The new fleet of rigs have been pivotal in enabling the company to secure new project awards on various HS2 packages covering the northern, central and southern sections, together with various national road infrastructure improvement schemes.
