Description:
This project entailed hoisting around 40 tonnes of scaffolding plant over a busy Regent St up onto the university roof. This meant that combined with a very stringent programme the health and safety requirements were extremely high. Good liaison with the client enabled a strike and shift programme to be drawn up which allowed for the works to be completed within the allotted timescale. This plant then had to be lowered down the rear of the building to allow a scaffold that had been specifically designed to keep loadings off of the low level roofs to be built. There were some very historic roof lights that had to be protected at all costs – thankfully our considerate operatives performed admirably allowing a potentially troublesome project being completed successfully and on time for all parties.
