THE FULL STORY
OUR HISTORY
When Andy Howe, first started working in the construction industry some 35 years ago, the notion of trenchless technology had hardly taken hold.
Very few such contracts existed and when they did, they were the preserve of highly specialised operations – and Andy’s first job was with just such an operation, Ubortech.
Learning the trade over the next eight years meant that Andy worked at the leading edge of a rapidly developing technology and it didn’t take a lot of hard decision making to move on in 1993 to form his own company specifically to specialise in this sector.
In May 1994, Chiltern Thrust Bore was officially established and set out to become a business known for its professionalism, expertise and reliability.
Now, there are very few civil engineering jobs which don’t demand the expertise and skills of a company like Chiltern Thrust Bore to ensure that all usual activities around any site can continue without interruption.
Whether keeping traffic flowing on motorways, railways and airfields, or making certain that commercially valuable functions aren’t cancelled (like racing at Silverstone or other major sporting events). CTB have grown with the NO-DIG technology and are equipped with the equipment and personnel to tackle any project.
Throughout this period of development our rigs and crews have travelled to every corner of the UK, assisting a variety of clients. From Tier 1 contractors and major housing developers, through to local construction firms and domestic clients.
