Examples of our plant movement work in City of London:
Vital – Kidbrooke, South London
This particular part of the project was to offload and position all the plant required for the District Heating Scheme Energy Centre comprising of thermal stores, CHP’s and boilers. The plantroom floor was 3m below ground level and all plant had to be posted and lowered through a small opening. In addition to this type of plant we also transported, offloaded and positioned electrical equipment such as transformers and switchgear.
Optimum Group - 500te crane in Grosvenor Crescent W1, London
The scope of this work was to dismantle and lift down two cooling towers on two consecutive weekends. We elected to use the 500te crane using its full compliment of fixed fly to give us the radius required.
Onsite modification required on risers at Kings Cross
Shepherd Engineering Services, London - The photos depict us lifting into place 54 sections of modular riser and fixing them through the floors and into their final position. Some of the risers had to be modified by our fabrication team on site after acquiring approval from the manufacturer and client, to allow them to be lifted and fixed safely.
Successful negotiations with Transport for London on simple lift
Cuffe (Southwark) - This work only involved lifting steelwork up to the roof so that a further two floors could be built. This was a simple job however complicated by the fact that the work was in Borough High Street required temporary traffic lights and conflicted with 4 other road closures. Due to this we spent about 8 weeks meeting with TFL and the other parties to combine our efforts to reduce the local impact. TFL's demands did effect the programme however we were able to negotiate reduced fees which went someway to compensating the client.
