1 1. Durapost® Birkdale’s DuraPost®
ultimate fencing solutions steel fence post and
composite gravel board system has been used to create a clear boundary between a local business and housing development in North West Ireland. Specified due to its block aesthetic and durability, the gravel boards helped to create a full fence panel throughout. Flexible and incredibly durable, DuraPosts®
can be used in conjunction
with most standard timber fence panels as well as a number of DuraPost’s own composite panel solutions. In total, 338m of fencing was installed, using 1.95m classic DuraPost®
fence
posts and 13 DuraPost® Composite Gravel Boards to construct each panel. Finally, matching capping rails were added to create a neat and tidy finish. All DuraPost® products were supplied in Anthracite Grey from local fencing merchant, Farm Relief.

2. FEIN charges up with new saw FEIN’s latest series of new products to the UK market, include a metal chop saw and a new Bluetooth charger, as well as a service app, my.FEIN. The new MKAS 355 metal chop saw delivers precise rapid results when cutting metals both in the workshop or on-site. The cold cutting process means the material isn’t as heated, resulting in no metal dust extract to ensure maximum safety for end users. The saw also includes a powerful 1800 watt motor with soft start technology, alongside an ergonomic handle design to combine comfort, safety and power. The ALG 80 BC has 8A charging current for short charging times and Bluetooth connectivity. It’s compatible with FEIN’s entire 18v cordless range, including MultiMaster and the 18v Combi Drill, as well as the my.FEIN app, communicating charge status and cycles, while sending push notifications when the battery is full. The charger is compatible with all FEIN Li-ion batteries and also comes with a USB charger, which can also be used to charge smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices.
The my.FEIN service app will store all registered tools, including an individual inventory number for each tool. Users just need to scan the nameplate using the camera on their smart device. The app also stores sales receipts and warranty certificates.

4 4. The Tide is high for Dura Products Durakerb Dura Products’ Durakerb has been used at the Thames Tideway site at Barn Elms. The installation, delivered in partnership with Keyline Civil Specialists, will see over 1km of the lightweight, environmentally friendly kerbstone installed along the main access route to the site. Durakerb, made from 88% recycled polymers, is a lightweight polymeric kerb unit.
With a carbon footprint of just 1.06kg of carbon dioxide (CO2) per kg, it offers a far more sustainable alternative than its concrete counterpart, as well as being safer, faster, and easier to install. It will be fitted at the West London site, a key location for the construction of the ‘Thames Tideway Tunnel’, also known as London’s ‘super sewer’. The project, delivered by construction company Tideway, involves the installation of a 25km tunnel that will intercept, store, and ultimately transfer sewage waste away from the River Thames.
