Carmet are proud to have supported the Aerotruss installation at Menai Bridge โ€” a unique project enhancing access and infrastructure in one of the UKโ€™s most iconic locations.

The installation involved deploying a lightweight Aerotruss system to provide a safe and efficient working platform, enabling critical works to be carried out while minimising disruption to the surrounding environment.

Our team provided the marine plant to support the installation, working closely with project partners to ensure the operation was delivered safely, efficiently, and to the highest standard.

This was a great collaborative effort between multiple teams, and a project that simply wouldnโ€™t have been possible without everyoneโ€™s input and expertise.

A big thank you to everyone involved for their hard work and commitment throughout.
