Doncaster-based A&J Geotechnical specialises in ground anchors, soil nails, bored piles, mini piles, geothermal boreholes, drilling and grouting. It was formed in 1999 by Dave Evans.

Aarsleff managing director Chris Primett said: “The acquisition of A&J Geotechnical Services is a strategic move, which now allows Aarsleff to provide more diverse and comprehensive ground package solutions.”

He added: “A&J is a perfect fit for Aarsleff. Both companies have a vision of providing clients with a multidisciplinary offer where the best service, techniques and commercial offering is delivered by vastly experienced teams. The combination of both companies will greatly benefit Aarsleff’s clients and the industry.”
