PROBLEM

As the Brazennose House project unfolded, Marshall Construction faced the challenge of selecting the perfect crane solution to support the construction of a steel frame and precast concrete façade. 

They needed a crane with substantial lifting capacity at specified radii.

Additionally, they wanted to ensure the safety of all personnel amidst intricate lifting operations.

SOLUTION

Through collaborative efforts and careful deliberation, we recommended the Potain MR 608 – 60 Meter Luffer crane to meet the project’s unique lifting demands. 

Early engagement with the crane supplier facilitated comprehensive site assessments, ensuring seamless integration of the crane into the project. 

Moreover, our team provided invaluable support in setting up the site infrastructure, including welfare accommodations, and offered contract lifts to complement project requirements. 

We were also able to provide rescue planning and self-evacuation training for crane operators to ensure the safety of all personnel. 

Crucially, we conducted crane feasibility studies, ensuring future servicing and replacement of the heavy roof plant would be executed seamlessly.

RESULT

Marshall Construction and Fortis Heavy Lift Group’s partnership was a success at Brazennose House.

The Potain MR 608 crane operated smoothly, ensuring precise and efficient lifting, which greatly advanced the project.

With careful planning and a strong safety focus, Marshall Construction and our team enhanced construction standards at Brazennose House, leaving a lasting impact on Manchester City Centre’s skyline.
