6 March 2022 Civil Engineering Q Q TRM piles can be designed and guaranteed for a structural service life of up to 100 years backed by a €10 million (R180 million) pile product insurance. HEALTH, SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT There can never be any compromise regarding health, safety, and the environment. These rules are even more crucial in high-risk working environments. Mining companies and their advisors frequently select the TRM Piling System as it is both safe and environmentally friendly. Mines set the benchmark in terms of demanding the very highest site safety standards, as well as requiring high productivity and quality of work. TRM piles are manufactured from recycled scrap metal, require greatly reduced concrete volumes, create no spoil or mess (being full displacement piles) and are installed with virtually zero wastage. This all contributes to TRM piles being globally recognised as very environmentally friendly. TURNKEY VALUE SOLUTIONS USING GENUINE PRODUCTS TRM Piling provides turnkey value engineering solutions, fully inclusive of design, supply and installation of TRM piles, to our clients (employers, quantity surveyors, engineers, project managers, and principal contractors) to meet their deep foundation needs. UNLOCKING FULL PROJECT POTENTIAL When a client first makes use of the TRM Piling System they may not, at the commencement of works, know the full potential TRM piles offer. But after witnessing firsthand the TRM Piling System in action, clients recognise and appreciate all the advantages that help to unlock the full potential of their upcoming projects. Early involvement of TRM’s engineering team is welcomed, as collaboration from an early stage enables time to implement ideas and offers further significant cost and time savings. The savings, based on 80% less reinforced concrete pilecap volume, along with reduced excavation quantity and elimination of major temporary platform works, often contribute to helping a client unlock the full potential of a project. GOING FORWARD The company’s objectives remain unchanged since installing and testing the first TRM piles in South Africa over a decade ago: Q Q Providing clients with the safest and best value-for-money piled foundation solutions for their projects Q Q Exploring value engineering solutions with early collaboration Q Q Providing clients with TRM products and technical assistance if they choose a “do-it-yourself” approach Q Q Building the business based on the loyalty established with valued clients over the past decade.
