SPECIALIST SOLUTIONS FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS
Our unique approach to craneage solutions for major infrastructure and large-scale construction projects covers:
- Major transport infrastructure including bridges & railway stations
- Oil & gas / process plants
- High-rise construction
- Power generation and waste-to-energy plants
- Stadia construction
- Data centre and semi-conductor factory construction.
Leveraging the benefits of Marr’s cranes on a project can facilitate significant improvements to programme time, cost and safety performance by:
- Providing the capability to lift larger precast and structural steel components
- Increasing the capacity to lift larger and heavier pre-assemblies and modules
- Removing complexity and risk
- Reducing the risk of schedule and cost overrun
- Supporting Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) construction
- Providing the platform for improved safety, higher quality and ‘greener’ construction.
UNIQUE FEATURES & BENEFITS
- High lift capacity – capable of lifting 330T (M2480D) to:
- enable increased modularisation and installation of larger pre-assembled structures, therefore requiring fewer major lifts
- decrease temporary works and reduce the need for working at height
- increase daily tonnage count lifted into a project to drive schedule
- Long reach capability – boom lengths of up to 120m helps to:
- deliver greater hook availability over a larger area for scheduled and unscheduled lifting
- reduce congestion with fewer cranes required
- overcome the impact of delayed plant deliveries by facilitating out of sequence plant installation
- mitigate the need to relocate cranes, removing the necessity to integrate crane movements into project critical path
- Heavy and high-volume lifting:
- increases productivity as tower cranes operate quicker than equivalent capacity crawler cranes
- opens up multiple work fronts using the same crane
- Small base footprint:
- Frees up valuable laydown areas and transport routes
- Higher freestanding heights
- Full climb capability for externally and internally climbed cranes
- Ability to operate in higher wind speeds:
- operational in wind of up to 20m/second (compared with less than 10m/second for similar capacity crawler and mobile cranes)
- increased availability helps to significantly improve utilisation and productivity
- reduced risk to schedule
- Crane removal – recovery crane system to open up the back end of a project and take the crane removal off critical path
- Marr Transit System (MTS) – modular rail system that extends longitudinal reach with no loss of capacity – fully operational between site limits
