Royal Eijkelkamp has been named the winner of the 2025 Health & Safety Award at the Ground Engineering Awards in London, recognizing its groundbreaking contribution to field safety through the development of the ManipAll hands-free drill rod and casing handler.
This industry-leading innovation eliminates manual handling risks during drilling operations, setting a new standard for safety in geotechnical and environmental projects. Designed to remove human contact from hazardous zones, the ManipAll and ManipAll RC deliver fully remote-controlled handling of drill rods and casing—reducing injury risk while increasing operational efficiency.
The Health & Safety Award honors companies that demonstrate exceptional leadership in improving health and safety performance through innovative tools, processes, or technologies. Judges commended Royal Eijkelkamp for creating a solution that not only improves safety but also enhances daily productivity across the field.
“At Royal Eijkelkamp, safety isn’t expensive—it’s priceless,” said Huug Eijkelkamp, Co-Owner and CEO of Royal Eijkelkamp. “Winning this award is a proud moment for our team and our partners. The ManipAll was built to solve real challenges faced by drillers every day. It keeps hands off the steel, reduces fatigue, and prevents injuries. But more than that, it’s a commitment to protecting people—and that’s what drives everything we do.”
In 2023, Fons Eijkelkamp was awarded for his work to 'leave the world in a better state for our children than we inherited it ourselves'.
This was recognized by the Jury, who noted that "Concerns about the consequences of climate change are an increasing motivation for Eijkelkamp, whose motto is 'How can we contribute to lessen the burden on our planet?"
