SPONSORS OF INDUSTRY NEWS IT’S ALL ABOUT YOU!
THE GARDLINE GROUP INDUSTRY NEWS SPONSOR We would like to introduce our readership to our sponsor for the Industry News section, The Gardline Group of
companies. We believe a very appropriate sponsor for this edition as their headquarters are based in Great Yarmouth and are featured within our ‘Spotlight On’ East Anglia regional focus within this edition.
GREAT YARMOUTH’S BEST KEPT SECRET

They have been around a while and their story can be read in a bespoke book, which was printed in 2009 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the company – we can recommend to all as an extremely interesting read (it explains
why there is no ‘u’ in their name!). It is available by contacting Gardline direct or by visiting their supply chain register enhanced entry online, within our website.

HILTI IN WIND ENERGY
In the wind energy industry, Hilti offers excellent solutions to boost productivity, increase reliability and minimise health and safety risks. This means supporting customers in the design and execution of offshore wind projects by optimising fastening and supporting methodologies for all mechanical and electrical applications on transformer platforms and at transition pieces.
Specifically, for turbine and tower manufacturers, Hilti partners customers in optimising the design of the tower internals and for all installation work in the nacelle and offer this support globally.
SECURE AND RELIABLE FASTENING The portfolio of Hilti includes well- engineered direct fastening methods, which have replaced extensive welding and the necessary rework in several applications.
Hilti X-BT is an innovative way of fastening to pre-painted steel without damaging the surface. The system consists of three perfectly matching components: a cordless drill, a powder-actuated fastening tool and the unique X-BT threaded fastener.
Made of A4 (AISI 316) stainless steel, Hilti X-BT performance in corrosive environments is exceptional and makes it the perfect fastening solution for the on- and offshore wind industry.
FAST INSTALLATION
To simplify the installation of electrical equipment, Hilti has developed the innovative Hilti MQ modular channel system. The Hilti MI system is the cutting- edge technology for heavy duty electrical applications, pipe- and multi-discipline supports.
Both systems allow the customer to optimise design, allowing fast installation, reducing the need for welding and can be easily adjusted when required. The system can be easily maintained and modified over the life-time of the asset.
