TEMPORARY WORKS TOOL GETS A THIRD UPGRADE FROM GROUNDFORCE SHORCO

TEMPORARY WORKS TOOL GETS A THIRD UPGRADE FROM GROUNDFORCE SHORCO

YourSolution, Groundforce Shorco’s interactive design tool, upgrades to 1.3.

Excavation support specialist Groundforce Shorco has added an advanced groundwater management option to YourSolution, its interactive design tool for temporary works.

Shorco

YourSolution v1.3 has launched to help customers include information where groundwater is present within an excavation. However, unlike v1.2, where groundwater could only be included for two-frame manhole braces and waler solutions, v1.3 extends this to groundwater for all standard design solutions.

Developed by Groundforce’s technical, sales and marketing teams, the user-friendly programme provides customers with a simple step-by-step process to obtain fully documented temporary works designs in line with the requirements of BS5975.

Access to the system, used by all Groundforce Shorco’s key customers, is available 24/7 on mobile devices and desktops directly from the Groundforce website, making it ideal for out-of-hours emergency works.

Groundforce marketing director Anil Govind said: “This latest development of YourSolution is testament to our commitment to supply customers with best practice standards in all that we do.”

Full details of YourSolution are available on the Groundforce website. www.vpgroundforce.com
