The construction took place over a long period with items being fabricated and brought in to suit the progress of the pre-cast structure. All erection was carried out using the site supplied tower crane. Access to the point of fixing was generally from purpose built crash decks and scaffolding.

 

This project required a lot of coordination and constant changes to the programme deliveries had to be booked in and there was no storage space on-site so materials had to be delivered only when areas were ready for erection. We are capable of versatility and are able to manage programme changes effectively.
