01. Project
Six months of lifting and steelwork for a new factory
Over six months we worked on a new leather manufacturing facility in Peterborough for an engineering firm, providing contract lifts, steel erection, machinery movement and labour on a daywork basis.
Our steel erection packages included portal frame buildings for a water treatment plant, mezzanine structures around the main manufacturing lines and secondary steelwork around the machinery. We provided cranes from 20te to 300te on contract lift to install machinery, silos, steelwork and filtration units, including heavy equipment lifted in through roof openings.
02. Resources
Cranes, steelwork and team
Cranes
HIAB cranes inside the building where headroom was limited, 40te and 60te mobile cranes, and a 300te mobile crane on full ballast.
Steel Erection
Portal frame buildings over the water treatment plant and filter units, mezzanine floors around the manufacturing lines, and secondary steelwork around the machinery.
Team
Appointed Persons, steel erectors, lift supervisors and slinger signallers, with telehandler, forklift and electric pick and carry crane operators on daywork.

Six work packages on one site
04. Outcome
What it meant for the client
The client had one contractor for lifting, steel erection and daywork labour across a six-month build, from HIAB lifts under a low roof to a 300te crane on full ballast.
