Here, we can use cutting-edge CAD software or BIM modelling to scope the exact requirements of the lift. We can then use this collated information to move onto the subsequent risk assessment, method statement provision, QHSE analysis, road closure management, transport logistics and round the clock management – any or all of which we can undertake as requires.
We don’t outsource any of our services, so we can maintain completely control over the high level of service we’ve become known for. All detailed planning is undertaken by our own specialist engineers and contract lift managers, and where particularly high risk or complex lifts in Ilkeston are concerned, we can provide the option of a bespoke turnkey package that’s tailored to your exact requirements and schedule.
