Machinery Installation and Steel Erection for a Leather Factory with Cranes up to 300te

Six months of contract lifts, steel erection, machinery movement and labour for a new leather manufacturing facility in Peterborough, with cranes from 20te to 300te.

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.

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.
