Visit WJ at the Basements and Underground Structures Conference 2015

WJ Groundwater September 23, 2015

Come and visit WJ’s exhibit stand at Olympia, London between 6 – 7 October. We will be in attendance as a part of the 8^th annual Basements and Underground Structures Conference 2015, organised by Ground Engineering Magazine.

We are delighted to be involved because it is a great platform to meet and network with the public. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to demonstrate what we do at WJ and showcase some of our high profile projects. We’ll also get to attend talks on future changes in work practice and legislation in the industry, so it’s a super chance for us to stay current and knowledgeable too.

The conference and exhibition is the only event in the UK to explore the procurement, design and delivery of underground spaces.

From large infrastructure projects to commercial developments and residential extensions, the basement market offers extensive opportunities that are expected to continue, as urban land remains a premium.

See you there!

WJ Groundwater December 7, 2015

WJ Wins Award at BDA 2015

WJ Groundwater November 1, 2015

WJ Groundwater is very pleased to share the news that it won the Innovation in Drilling category award at the BDA (British Drilling Association) Dinner and Dance 2015 in Edinburgh. The award was for our adapted Baby Giraffa, modified to work in deep excavations and tunnels.

The adapted Baby Giraffa is a fully articulated rotary drilling rig that complements WJ’s existing fleet with its ability to drill at a full range of angles including upwards and horizontally at heights of up to 7m above tunnel ground level. This makes it ideal for probe and depressurisation drilling within tunnels, shafts and basements. As with WJ’s existing SM5 rigs, the Baby Giraffa is operated by remote control allowing it to work in confined spaces where access can be challenging. The drilling rig has already been put to good use drilling probes and wells within tunnels and cross passages on the huge Crossrail project and on WJ projects all around the world.
