In line with our ongoing commitment to sustainability and innovation, Holemasters Group is proud to announce the latest addition to our environmentally friendly fleet: a state-of-the-art all-electric pickup truck. This significant investment comes on the heels of the success of our first electric van acquisition last year, marking a milestone in our journey towards a greener future.

After experiencing firsthand the benefits of electrification with our initial electric vehicle, we recognised the immense potential for further reducing our carbon footprint and operational impact. With this in mind, we made the decision to expand our sustainable fleet by incorporating the latest in electric vehicle technology.

One of the standout features of our new electric pickup is its impressive range of just under 300 miles on a single charge. This extended range ensures that our team can travel far and wide to serve our clients’ needs without compromising on performance or sustainability. Additionally, the pickup’s zero-emission operation aligns perfectly with our mission to minimise our environmental impact and contribute positively to our communities.

“Our decision to invest in this new electric pickup underscores our firm belief in the power of innovation and sustainability,” says Jim McArthur, Managing Director of Holemasters Group. “By transitioning towards electric vehicles, we are not only reducing our carbon footprint but also setting an example for others in our industry to follow.”

In addition to environmental benefits, our shift towards electric vehicles offers numerous advantages, including lower operating costs, reduced maintenance requirements, and access to incentives and grants for sustainable initiatives. These benefits not only contribute to our bottom line but also position us as leaders in our field, driving positive change within the construction and transportation sectors.

As we look to the future, Holemasters Group remains committed to exploring new opportunities for sustainability and innovation. With our expanded fleet of electric vehicles, we are well-positioned to continue delivering exceptional service to our clients while leading the charge towards a more sustainable future for generations to come.

Industry Game Changer – Safety First

The Holemasters® Group can announce today that we are installing exclusion lights to our Robotic Demolition Machines, Wall Saw Machines, Wire Saw Machines and Floor Saws.

Earlier this year the HSE published provisional figures for fatal accidents at work during the year 2016/17 and falling from heights was no longer the biggest killer. The main cause of death was bring struck by a moving vehicle. At Holemasters we take every step to ensure we run safely on site.

We demonstrated this by investing in a 3D Concrete Scanner. The first commercially available 3D Concrete Scanner in Scotland, which enabled us to scan for live services before we started ouPhoto 06-12-2018, 08 09 56r drilling works. We expand that today by introducing we will be installing red exclusion lights to all our big plant and machinery.

These red exclusion lights will give a visual warning to anyone in close proximity of where we are working warning them not to enter the exclusion area.

Garry Downie, Contracts Director said “Safety is paramount on site. These lights will create a visual barrier which I know have been received well by our operatives and clients on site”

These lights are super bright red LED’s and will be able to be noticed in all conditions making them ideal for demolition works with the Brokk, saw cutting with the Wall Saw or Floor Saws and will also be a great addition to our wire saw.

Jim McArthur, Group Managing Director said “We think this is a game changer for our industry. Safety has always been at for forefront when working with these machines and when we discussed the idea of adding a safety exclusion zone the idea was a no-brainer. Its a small addition with big possibilities. We hope other Diamond Drilling contracts follow our lead by including these on there plant. Until then Holemasters will continue innovating and pushing the industry. “

Holemasters announced as main club sponsor

/in , /by

Holemasters Scotland Limited have stepped up their current sponsorship deal with Airdrieonians Football Club by becoming main shirt sponsor in addition to their current two year deal with the club.

Holemasters are a nationwide Concrete Cutting & Diamond Drilling Specialist and have certainly drilled deep to support the Diamonds. The deal is for 17/18 with an option for 18/19 and under the new sponsorship deal Holemasters will become the main home shirt sponsor as well as retaining the ‘back of shirt’ sponsorship deal currently in place.

Airdrie Front SponsorThis gives the Diamonds the boost and security they need as they start the new season.

Chairman Jim Ballantyne said: “Holemasters came on board last season on the back of the shirt and the relationship has been developing ever since.

“It is a fantastic forward thinking company that operates across the whole of Scotland therefore the football platform can match that coverage.”

He continued: “However, the company also takes its social and community responsibility very seriously and this investment also falls in to that category.”

David McArthur of Holemasters said: “As a local company we take great pride in the fact that we sponsor our local team.

“Having already been half way though our initial deal with the club we saw an opportunity to boost our image further and to show our commitment to the club.

“We have enjoyed our involvement with Airdrieonians but when we realised the challenge the Club was facing, it was not a difficult decision.”

With the Diamonds just missing out on promotion last season they go forward with the ambition of building on last season’s success.

Holemasters branding will debut on the home shirts and additional branding will be seen around the stadium from Saturday, 12th of August for the Ladbrokes League One match against Arbroath.

Investing in new Equipment

/in /by

Holemasters are pleased to announce the purchase of a brand new Robotic Demolition Machine – the BROKK 100. Brokk 100 is the successor of one of our most sold demolition machines ever. And what an upgrade!

2100This next generation Brokk offers 35 percent more hitting power, a more energy-effective engine, reduced weight and transport height, but with the same jaw-dropping versatility for demolition in restricted spaces. Well, actually even the versatility is improved.

In a confined space, size really does matter. The aim is to provide as much power and versatility as possible at the site, and the new Brokk 100 excels at this. Its compact design, easy operation, unparalleled stability, and powerful tools make it perfect for use in a wide variety of residential, commercial and industrial environments. In particular where there are space constraints or load restrictions on floors, but maximum productivity is still needed.

We see this as a great investment for all future works which require fast and effective concrete breaking. Hand Arm Vibration won’t be an issue on site as these machines are remotely controlled.
