SAFETY FIRST ON REVOLUTIONARY UK RESIDENTIAL BUILD


UK contractor Midgard, part of UK construction firm JRL Group, has commissioned crane company London Tower Crane Hire & Sales (LTC) to provide two Saez luffing jib tower cranes, each standing at a height of 120m, to help build the first octagonal high-rise residential building in the world.


The cranes, a Saez SL 320 and a Saez SLH 205-R – each standing at a height of 120m, are both equipped with the DCS 61-S system anti- collision system from French company AMCS. The DCS 61-S system ensures the segregation of construction works with public infrastructure whilst its zoning element prevents any oversailing of the site boundary. Gary Leader, health and safety advisor at LTC, outlines the challenges and necessity for not oversailing: “The footprint of the project is complex. The Octagon sits on the historic Paradise Circus, a large gyratory on the former A4400 Inner ring road connecting the western radials of the city centre with the Queensway system. The gyratory is incredibly busy and experiences high volumes off traffic at all times of the day.”
