Tobermore: Groundworkers – Improve your tender success rates and profitability for residential retaining wall projects

If you’re a groundworker planning and submitting quotes and building residential retaining walls, Tobermore’s Secura Grand modular block retaining wall system can help to achieve the project aims quickly and efficiently.

This versatile alternative to traditional masonry retaining wall solutions will help simplify the creation of high-quality and visually pleasing retaining walls. Combined with the innovative Secura Portal online tool, Tobermore can always help you win tenders.

Tobermore’s Secura Grand retaining walls have been developed for quick installation, excellent strength, durability and an attractive appearance. Available in various colours and finishes, this segmental retaining wall system is a reliable choice for any residential housing development.

The Secura Portal service has been developed to help simplify and optimise the tendering process for groundworkers to allow them to get on with the work on hand. Once you submit the project specifics, the portal produces a comprehensive and competitive tender document with detailed pricing (that includes other materials such as aggregates) that stands out against the competition. Our team can help further to maximise profit margins through backfill value engineering. With help from Secura Portal, it’s never been easier to create accurate, informative tenders that will impress your potential clients.

Benefits

Groundworks and civil engineering experts O’Halloran and O’Brien recently experienced the benefits of the Secura Portal system. The tool was used to create a successful tender for residential development for Barratt David Wilson Homes near Eastbourne. Thanks to the Secura Portal, the company was able to switch from the original masonry specification to a Secura Grand modular retaining wall. The result was an aesthetically impactful design and a reduction in cost.

At another recent project, this time in Stirling, the groundworks experts at Quiklay used the Secura Grand system to create a modular retaining wall for a Carmichael Homes development.

Robin Haddow, director at Quiklay Group Limited, explains: “We’ve been using Tobermore Secura Grand walling for about seven years now on a variety of projects. We like it because it’s a good product. It’s easy to build, and we can build under any conditions.

“The service offered by Tobermore is second to none. We found them very helpful, from the inception of an idea and a design right through to delivering the blocks to site and even some of the aftercare.”

Chris Gordon, Commercial Team Leader at Tobermore, explains that Quiklay was looking for a cost-effective system to increase site efficiency.

“Secura Grand was a perfect solution for this project, and our range of complimentary technical support services helped to ensure the product matched their requirements,” he says.
