THE CHALLENGE

At the time John Holland contacted us they were considering using a CC6800 crawler crane, but as a big machine it left no room on the ground for it to be assembled and do the work concurrently, required extensive ground preparation and relied on favourable wind conditions.

OUR SOLUTION

Using a M2480D and M1280D we developed a series of critical lift plans that included installing the 100t steam drum on top of the 116-metre solar tower using a tag line system developed by our onsite rigging team.

THE RESULT

Our solution required a smaller area to set up the tower crane without the need for extensive groundworks in comparison to alternative crane options, resulting in a shorter set-up time and lower costs.
