Controlled Tension at Up and Under Limited

Specialist bolt manufacturer TCB were impressed with the work we recently undertook on Chain Bridge, Monmouthshire, using their products; so much so they wrote about it here:

Engineering Excellence Awards 2011

Up and Under Limited, together with Network Rail and BAM Nuttall are tonight finalists in the ICE, SE England,  Engineering Excellence Awards 2011 for the surface retention design works at Falmer Cutting.

The project was an excellent example of combining specialists from a number of organisations to produce a project meeting the needs of the client through cooperation.

Network rail commented:

"The site had complex access and involved negotiating with a number of parties. When access was obtained the works comprised the installation of soil nails and rock netting. This was carried out without impact on the railway using a novel catch fence. The works were completed early resulting in project savings and reduced impact on the travelling public."

Working with clients to produce great results often sounds expensive and time consuming but the comments above provide you with at least puase for thought.

Well done to Rob for carrying this project through, hopefully he will get his hand on the prize this evening.

Up and Under Foundation - Update

Just a short ipdate on where we are up to. 

We have recieved a letter from the Scout group we helped with funding for their trip to the Menin Gate and Ypres.  It would to appear to have been an enjoyable and eye opening trip and they even met the Australian Ambassador.  It wasn't all sombre experiences and Scouuts being Scouts they did manage to sample the local Belgium Chocolates and visit a theme park before returning home.

We currently have £500 immediately available to youngsters through the Eric Swan bursary and the Tom Dootson Memorial fund so if you know of any youngsters who need assistance with funding for trips to the Conway Centre or of Scout activities in South Cheshire needing assistance for less well off members please contact us.

Details can be found at: http://www.upandundergroup.com/community.html

And if you are considering a fund raising event or are organising a function where we could have a collection please do not hesitate to contact us.  You can be sure that funds will not be swallowed up like this:
