engineering and installing retractable roofs for two courts at the All England Lawn Tennis Club at Wimbledon and the retractable grass pitch for the new Tottenham Hotspur stadium. The company worked with BAE
Ship Systems to supply the cranes for the two Queen Elizabeth-class warships, the largest to have ever been built for the Royal Navy. The cranes and their control
systems have been meticulously engineered to meet the most stringent crane codes and to the highest quality control standards. SCX Special Projects was
selected in part because it has the unique capability to engineer the
entire project in-house. This includes all of the
electrical and control elements, manufacturing, testing, right through to installation and commissioning the cranes on board the ships. SCX Special Projects Managing Director Andy Whitworth said:
“This is Sheffield-made engineering excellence in action. “We create solutions to unusual
and unique mechanical handling challenges, and the on-board sea- going cranes are a great example. In addition to the bespoke mechanical design of the cranes, we have engineers specialising in electrical,
controls and safety, making sure that everything works exactly as the client expects. “We are especially proud to have
played our part in the launch of the Royal Navy’s biggest ever warships.”
