CROWN SYDNEY

A bespoke craneage solution for Sydney’s newest landmark.

HIGH RISE

AUSTRALIA

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Uniquely located on the Barangaroo foreshore, Crown Sydney is Sydney’s tallest building and an iconic addition to the city’s skyline. But from a construction point-of-view, the striking architectural design of the 275-metre-high skyscraper and its harbour front location presented several significant challenges for Crown Resorts and their builder.

Knowing they needed to think differently about how to construct the project they contacted Marr’s team to help them come up with a solution.

THE CHALLENGE

When our client initially contacted us, their primary concern was borne out of previous experience working on a project where the craneage solution couldn’t meet the demands of working at height in a high wind area like Barangaroo. The resulting downtime and associated costs on that project meant they wanted a new craneage solution for the construction of Crown Sydney. The brief, in short, was to come up with a craneage solution that would speed up the construction program without compromising on safety or quality.

OUR SOLUTION

Having a long-standing working relationship with our client, they invited us in early to help come up with a solution. Our answer to the problem was to develop a bespoke super high-speed M390D crane with a high-capacity winch system for the high-rise construction with a M2480D working on heavy lifting requirements lower down.

THE RESULT

The end result was a safer method of construction that reduced complexity, helped de-risk the project and supported Crown’s construction schedule. “From a construction point-of-view this was a uniquely challenging project, but our partners at Marr’s had an innovative approach that aligned with our preferred construction methodology,” said Greg Munday, Vice President – Design & Construction, Crown Resorts.
