LOOKING DOWN ON LONDON
UNIC Cranes Europe supplied three modified UNIC 706 mini cranes to assist CMF Ltd with the installation of stairwell towers at the St Boltoph’s office development, Aldgate High Street, central
The mini cranes were supplied to erect the support steel framework attached to the lift cores containing emergency stairs to the 13 floor structure. With the existing tower cranes and external lifts operating at maximum capacity, architectural structural steel contractors CMF needed independent lifting equipment to install the stair towers.
Lack of street space meant that the cranes were mounted on top of the four towers, looking down on the streets of London, carefully secured by specially designed sockets which allowed the feet of the outriggers to slot in perfectly. The cranes were then operated by remote control.
Philip Clarke, contracts manager at CMF Ltd commented: “When faced with installing the stairwell towers we were unsure what equipment would be able to complete the job. The lack of street space in central London can cause real problems for jobs like these but, after working with UNIC’s expert technical team, we were able to come up with a solution allowing UNIC’s mini spider cranes to be easily located on top of the towers and operated remotely.”
