Project Requirements and Site Conditions

This large-scale commercial development involved the staged construction of three buildings over a two-year programme, requiring the installation of substantial precast concrete and structural steel elements across multiple work fronts.

The scale of the project demanded careful sequencing of lifting activities to maintain construction progress while coordinating closely with the principal contractor and other trades. With thousands of precast components requiring accurate placement and significant volumes of structural steel to be installed, efficient planning and reliable lifting operations were essential to maintaining programme certainty.

The extended construction timeline also required consistent delivery, experienced personnel and flexible resource management to support each stage of the build safely and efficiently.

How Rigsafe Delivered the Work

Rigsafe provided an integrated lifting solution throughout the project, delivering lift planning, crane operations and specialist rigging services across all stages of construction.

Our team coordinated the installation of 2,800 precast concrete elements, ensuring each component was safely lifted, accurately positioned and installed in accordance with the construction sequence. Alongside the precast works, Rigsafe supported the installation of 400 tonnes of structural steel, helping progress the structural framework of each building.

Following the structural installation, the project also included the application of approximately 25,000 linear metres of mastic, contributing to the completion of the building envelope and supporting the overall quality and durability of the finished structures.

Working closely with the project team over the two-year programme, Rigsafe maintained a coordinated approach that enabled construction activities to progress safely, efficiently and in line with programme requirements.

Rigsafe's scope included:

• Lift planning and engineered lifting methodology
• Crane hire and crane operations
• Specialist rigging services
• Installation of 2,800 precast concrete elements
• Installation of 400 tonnes of structural steel
• Coordination of staged construction activities
• Application of approximately 25,000 linear metres of mastic
• Collaboration with the principal contractor and project stakeholders

The Result on Site

Rigsafe successfully supported the delivery of all three buildings over the two-year construction programme, providing safe, reliable and efficient lifting solutions from the first precast installation through to the final stages of construction.

The project demonstrates Rigsafe's ability to manage large-scale structural installation projects involving significant quantities of precast concrete and structural steel while maintaining programme certainty and consistent quality over an extended delivery period.

Through detailed planning, experienced personnel and close collaboration with the project team, Rigsafe helped deliver a successful outcome that reflects the company's expertise in complex commercial construction.
