Project Requirements and Site Conditions

The construction of the Cancer Centre required a purpose-built radiation therapy bunker incorporating 100 mm-thick solid steel shielding panels.

Working within an existing building created significant access constraints, with each oversized panel requiring careful manoeuvring through restricted internal spaces before installation.

Conventional lifting methods were unsuitable, requiring a project-specific methodology that balanced safety, precision and efficiency.

‍

How Rigsafe Delivered the Work

Rigsafe developed a bespoke lifting sequence specifically for the project, carefully planning the movement and installation of each shielding panel.

Working within confined conditions, our team coordinated specialist rigging and precision lifting operations to safely position each steel panel while protecting the surrounding structure and maintaining construction progress.

Rigsafe's scope included:

• Lift planning
• Specialist rigging
• Installation of 100 mm steel shielding panels
• Precision internal lifting
• Confined space installation
• Construction sequencing

The Result on Site

Rigsafe successfully delivered the installation of the radiation bunker, demonstrating our ability to engineer practical lifting solutions where conventional approaches would not have been possible.

The project highlights our expertise in precision installation within operational healthcare environments.
