AGS SERVICE
Today’s construction marketplace is increasingly complex and presents tough challenges for us all having to reconcile the demand for increased productivity, reducing build times and maintenance cycles.
At AGS we tailor our services to meet our customers’ needs. For this reason we provide the following services and adapt to suit the situation:
Hire Only Service
With our scaffolding/Fencing hire service our customers can avail of our expertise to quantify the correct amount of scaffolding/fencing equipment required for a specific contract. We will then deliver directly to your site.
Hire & Erect Service
Supply and erection of all scaffolding equipment to the highest industry standards by our expertly trained team of professionals. With this service all work is 100% guaranteed and fully insured. We will endeavour to accommodate all onsite contractors within reason including roofers, plasterers, and block layers ect.
Erect Only Service (Labour)
This service caters for the developer who may already have a scaffolding project and need qualified scaffolders to erect, dismantle, maintain, or alter scaffolding. Also, in today’s climate of Health & Safety, developers may wish to avail of our professional reputation and proven track record.
We offer the developer/contractor the option of two different types of scaffolding systems:
Kwik Stage
This scaffold uses standard components to create an independent, sturdy and robust scaffold. Kwik – stage is at present the most common and preferred system used in Ireland today.
Tube and Fitting
For projects requiring a more flexible solution e.g. complex designs and shapes where standard sizes and lengths are not appropriate, the Tube and Fitting system is the preferred option.
Light Steel Temporary Secure Fencing
This fencing method allows an adaptable and secure method of fencing.
At AGS we ensure a quick response time to customer contracts with the availability of our large stock of scaffolding equipment at our depot.
We import our scaffold from India, which Carries the B.S. Certification and is certified for use within the E.U. We have approximately €2 million scaffold in stock which is all less than 2 years old, we also have approximately 50.000 boards in stock.
