GROUNDFORCE SHORCO EXTENDS ITS POPULAR ONLINE TOOL TO HELP WITH BOX DESIGNS

Trench and manhole box designs set to become quicker and easier with extension of digital design tool from Groundforce Shorco.

Groundforce Shorco has introduced another industry first in temporary works solutions. Engineers and temporary works coordinators are set to get unprecedented access to create their own trench and manhole box designs, thanks to a dedicated upgrade of a pioneering online design tool from shoring equipment specialists Groundforce Shorco.

YourSolution+, the latest development in the YourSolution evolution, creates a design bespoke to individual sites, with detailed soil profiles and bespoke surcharges in just a few clicks. The tool can be used by anyone who can confidently provide a verbal soil profile. Soil profiles are instantly converted into load patterns based on industry best practice.

YourSolution+ also includes the flexibility to allow qualified and competent users to customise and select their own parameters giving them the freedom to use their own engineering judgement to produce cost effective solutions.

Using its built-in engineering calculations, the design tool will create real-time design documentation and technical drawings exclusive to your excavation, for the company’s extensive range of boxes. CO2e per hire will also be included on each downloaded design.

Groundforce’s Marketing and Customer Services Director Anil Govind said: “YourSolution+ is a great addition to our already successful YourSolution tool. The demand for box designs is continuously growing and this latest innovation provides customers with the same engineering tools of our in-house design team, allowing for bespoke designs which can also be checked by our very own technical team, increasing ease and speed without comprising safety.”

Access to the YourSolution+ tool is available 24/7 on mobile devices and desktops directly from the Groundforce website, making it ideal for out-of-hours emergency works. YourSolution+ is a complement to Groundforce Shorco’s original YourSolution tool launched two years ago which offers over 200 standard designs for temporary works.
