In April 2018, GAP purchased MV Trench Support, a Scottish-based trenching and shoring company. The acquisition further extended our product fleet and brought an additional wealth of trenching and shoring experience to GAP.
Design Service
To accompany our extensive product range, we offer a temporary works design service which is available on all trenching and shoring products. We work closely with our customers to supply the relevant equipment required by site - this often requires a site visit by our knowledgeable technical sales representatives or regional hire desk and operational staff to discuss various options and obtain the best solution.
