Tech Group secures 11 new piling machines

EXPANSION: The purchase of the 11 machines brings the total number of piling machines in Piling Tech's repository up to 30.

Ajman-based construction company, Tech Group, has announced the signing of US $12.5 million (AED45 million) deal with Italian firm, Soilmec, for the purchase of 11 piling machines.

The machines will contribute to the operations expansion of Piling Tech, a subsidiary of Tech Group, which is one of seven specialist companies in the construction field.

Tech Group CEO, Ali Ghaleb Jaber, said that the acquisition of these machines forms part of the group's strategy for coping with the heavy demand for contracting services fueled by the ongoing real estate boom.

"We hear of new real estate projects being launched almost every other day," he said. "The property boom is here to stay, and the increased demand for high-quality contracting services has been a major catalyst for the expansion of our operations.
