At the ongoing development at Drayton Park, our recent operations showcased a strategic approach to enhancing efficiency and safety. To facilitate the transport of scaffolding materials to the rear elevation, a crane was employed. This decision delivered significant operational advantages.
The application of crane effectively eradicated the need for extensive manual handling, thereby reducing associated risks and improving site safety.
Crucially, it eliminated the need of transporting materials through the garages below and manually lifting them to height. This approach not only streamlined material flow but also yielded substantial cost savings by reducing manual labor expenses, concurrently boosting overall productivity, and accelerating our client’s project timeline.
The success of today’s lifting operations was a result of exceptional teamwork.
Every member, from management to scaffold operatives and yard staff, demonstrated unwavering commitment. Management actively engaged, “rolling up their sleeves” to assist wherever needed. My contribution involved assisting with rigging and slinging, while Archie Unstead, AMA Operations Manager, played a crucial role in planning material laydown areas, aiding operatives with stacking materials, motivated the team and ensuring the entire team remained hydrated and supported throughout the day with teas, coffees and cold drinks.
This truly was a brilliant team effort by all involved. We extend our sincere thanks to every individual for their dedication and professionalism, and a special acknowledgment to DSM Contract Lifting Services for their invaluable support
