Located in the heart of Sydney’s CBD, Sydney Metro’s integrated station development at Martin Place required building an underground platform-to-platform connection between the existing heritage-listed station and the new Sydney Metro Martin Place Station. Faced with a challenging schedule of works, John Holland CPB Ghella (JHCPBG) joint venture partnered with Marr for a solution.
We work with our clients to find a craneage solution that works – no matter how big or complex the job is.
A demanding program of excavation and construction works on a congested CBD site with access issues and a scope of works including lifting 14 x 30-metre plunge columns weighing 80 tonnes each as well as the associated equipment into the site.
With one of our M1280Ds installed to do all the lifting from a single point, we eliminated the need for road occupancies and allowed the 80-tonne, 30-metre plunge columns to be prefabricated offsite.
The solution gave JHCPBG the flexibility to meet the demands of lifting a range of different equipment as requirements changed on the project – which meant delays to the construction schedule were avoided and the project was delivered ahead of schedule.
