Column: Key figure in the company

By Rob van Vliet, Sr. manufacturing engineer – TS Group Holland

As a senior manufacturing engineer I have been a key figure at TS Group Holland for over three years. I lead the infrastructural projects in our company from beginning to end. For these projects I am also the contact person for our clients as well as our office people and working men.

With every application there are specifications for which the manufacturing engineer makes a calculation. Read more>

Led lighting alongside roads will create more safety

The launch of independent led lighting in dry and wet infrastructure

Turning the lights off on most highways/motorways does provide a reduction in the costs. But on the other hand it decrease road safety for the user and car driver. To make dark roads, corners and road blocks more visible and safer, our partner Roadled has developed multiple special armatures and road signs based on an unique solar-led technique. The build-in led lighting is completely independent and will work up to 45 days without sunlight. This coming year we will be launching these independent led lights in dry and wet infrastructure together with Roadled.

Addition to our vehicle fleet

A fourth aerial platform for more flexibility, mobility and safety

When we look back at 2015, one of the highlights has been the start of our aerial platform service Auto-hoogwerker.nl. For the realisation and maintenance of our infrastructural projects, flexibility, mobility and safety are really important. For our employers as well as our clients, relations and partners. With this service we can provide all of this. Last year we got to carry out a lot of interesting projects with our three aerial platforms. To serve our clients this coming year, we have extended our vehicle fleet with a new 12 metre Crafter aerial platform.
