EMIS sources the temporary works and site access equipment a project stands on: crane mats and outrigger pads, trackway and temporary roadways, temporary bridges, working platforms and ground protection, alongside propping, shoring and falsework to the temporary works design. Everything is matched to the load case, the ground and the design check, from a vetted network. One accountable contact holds the specification, and the certification the temporary works coordinator needs to sign off the works.
Temporary works and site access equipment is what keeps an excavation, structure or working platform safe while the permanent works are built: crane mats, outrigger pads, trackway, temporary roadways, temporary bridges, working platforms and ground protection on one side; propping, shoring, falsework and edge protection on the other. It is a designed system, not a hire-desk pick. The equipment must satisfy a temporary works design and its independent check, with capacities, arrangements and materials that match the load case and the ground. Substituting the near-equivalent item can invalidate the design.
EMIS sits between the temporary works design and the equipment market. We take the design, the site access plan and the ground conditions, source the propping, falsework, trackway and pads that satisfy them from a vetted network, then coordinate delivery to the works sequence. One contact holds the package, so the temporary works coordinator is not reconciling equipment from several suppliers against one design.
Site access carries the same discipline as the structural support. Trackway and temporary roadways are specified to the plant that will run on them and the ground that carries them; crane and outrigger pads are matched to the lift plan and bearing pressure; temporary bridges and working platforms are sourced to span, load and duty; fencing, signage and welfare arrangements are coordinated so site establishment lands as one package, not a scatter of orders.
Certification is essential to sign-off. We source equipment with the load ratings, test certificates and technical data the design and its checker require, then hold that pack so the temporary works coordinator can permit the works without chasing evidence. EMIS hires no equipment of its own, so we source exactly what the design requires, not a near-substitute we happen to hold.
The advantages that a single accountable partner brings to this service.
Propping, shoring and falsework are matched to the design and its independent check, no near-substitutes that could invalidate the design or delay sign-off.
Trackway, temporary roadways and ground protection are specified to the plant that will run on them and the bearing capacity of the ground beneath them.
Pads and mats are matched to the lift plan and bearing pressure, so the crane stands on a specified platform rather than an assumption.
Load ratings, test certificates and technical data are held ready for the temporary works coordinator, so the works can be permitted without chasing evidence.
Propping, access, trackway, pads and site establishment run through one contact, so the coordinator reconciles one package against one design.
Typical project types and the sectors they serve.
Deep excavations need propping and shoring designed and certified to the ground and load case. EMIS sources the system to the temporary works design and holds the certification the coordinator needs to sign off.
Works on soft or protected ground need trackway and ground protection rated to the plant and the bearing capacity. We specify the temporary roadway to the traffic it will carry and coordinate delivery to the site establishment programme.
Major lifts need crane and outrigger pads matched to the lift plan and ground bearing pressure. EMIS sources the pads and mats to the specification so the lift is stood on certified capacity.
Marine and quayside works need temporary support and access rated for the exposure and load. EMIS specifies the equipment to the marine temporary works design and holds the evidence for the principal contractor.

EMIS sources the equipment to satisfy your temporary works design. We are a procurement partner, not a temporary works design house, though we source the propping, falsework and access a design calls for and hold the certification the coordinator needs.
Whether you require specialist products, technical procurement support, supplier evaluation, coordinated plant and equipment hire, logistics or full commercial procurement management, EMIS provides one accountable point of contact from initial requirement through to final delivery and close-out.
We respond to all enquiries within one business day.
