Construction of the Sydney Yard Access Bridge (SYAB) Project at Central Station was the first early and enabling works package for the Sydney Metro City & Southwest project. With plans to construct the bridge by lifting structural steel bridge sections and precast elements into place during restricted rail possessions over an existing network, construction partners, Laing O’Rourke, turned to The Men from Marr’s for a heavy lifting solution that could reduce complexity and de-risk the project.
We work with our clients to find a craneage solution that works – no matter how big or complex the job is.
Working within a severely restricted space, over a live rail line and during time-restrictive off-peak rail possessions was deemed too risky for a crawler crane set up, so the client turned to us for a simpler solution.
Using one of our M2480D – with its heavy lift capacity and extra reach – the structural steel bridge sections were preassembled alongside the operating rail line and lifted into place in a single lift during the scheduled rail possession.
With the assembly of the sections taken off critical path and the M2480D installed onsite and ready to lift as soon as the rail possession took place, Marr’s solution reduced complexity and supported the project from a safety, time and cost point-of-view – supporting Laing O’Rourke to deliver the project on time.
