Atlas Pile Testing Systems, part of the Datum Group, (a DYWIDAG-Systems International company) has manufactured and shipped a T650 (also known as a Titan 650) automatic, static pile testing system to the USA, marking the companies first sale of a T650 into the US market.
The T650 has been purchased by US-based Goettle Construction Inc., a leading build construction company, specialising in deep foundations, earth retention and marine construction, with offices in Cincinnati, Pittsburgh and Chicago. The T650 will be shipped from Datum’s Manchester office in the UK, at the beginning of March, and will be on site and ready for testing on US soil from April 2019.
Speaking about the expansion into the US market, Rory O’Rourke, VP for Sales at Datum, said “The T650 is now an established and leading pile testing system in the UK. Our strategy was always to penetrate the global market, once UK market had been established. T650’s and T250’s have already been sold to companies in China and Europe, the US market was the next planned step. We are delighted our products have been so well received in the USA, a recent series of meetings held with potential buyers in the US delivered excellent results and we are confident that this sale will be the first of many into the US.”
