We are passionate about our magnetic products and their uses. The main benefits for users are found when permanent fixings cannot be executed. Our applications are unique in the world since we can instantly test the magnetic force, and compare this with requirements for working safely. Trust is critical for collaborating, and we are well aware of the saying, "trust is hard to gain but easy to lose."
Hence, good corporate governance is critical for us. The processes of disclosure and transparency are applied to both us, working together and being considered a trusted and professional partner by our stakeholders; Including clients, shareholders, investors, employees, and society at large.

DOW
Problem:
“Normal anchoring” of scaffolds for storage tanks is not always possible. Large, cone-shaped scaffolds are built with extra ballast weight. Dow was looking for a solution to position a stable scaffold structure at an ethylene tank in a safe, quick way and lower costs.
Solution:
McNetiq and Bilfinger developed a solution with magnetic anchor points. A slim scaffold structure is connected to the steel tank wall using permanent magnets. Savings are significant.

Shell
We used magnet anchors to install sails (directed) on the inside of the tower to avoid touching the scaffold material during assembly and disassembly. After the scaffold was installed and was stamped with rubber on the walls for stability, we again removed the sails to start the inspection: This saved galvanizing/un-galvanizing the scaffold materials and transportation costs: a saving of €138,000.

VOPAK
Since 2015, the scaffolding at Vopak has been anchored by contractors with Controlock anchors. The work can be carried out more efficiently due to the considerably less scaffolding materials and construction time required.
In addition, safety increases because fewer people are on the plant, the number of construction hours is less, and there is less chance of sagging scaffolding in the tank pits. The heavy material transport is also less, which benefits sustainability.

Bilfinger UK
Erecting and dismantling a scaffold type has shown a saving of 41%. This saving is mainly created by using fewer hours to construct the scaffold, which led to an advantage in savings and efficiency. The scaffold was used for painting. We from Bilfinger UK see in the magnetic anchor an innovative and cost-saving piece of equipment with a great future.
