People do what machines can't

Each boiler was taken to the 2nd lower floor

The job couldn't be rushed but it had to done swiftly, if the floor was uneven at any point the boiler would hit the roof beams.

If the roof and boiler made contact we don't know which would have come off worse and thankfully we never found out.

Our main concern was ensuring the boiler didn't get trapped under the beam and we had to divert to avoid pipe-work and cabling

No Headroom

The only thing harder than getting a weighty boiler to move is getting it to stop.

Before we attempted to go underneath the roof beam we had to ensure it could get under.

As we moved it needed constant attention to keep the speed smooth and constant, the direction straight and one eye on the clearance - there was no room for error

Hard Work and Team Work

There are times when all the sophisticated tools at our disposal simply can't do the job.

Physically hauling heavy plant is very strenuous work, but in this case there was no alternative and it had to be done somehow.

Our teams are used to hard work and working hard as a team, there's no room for slackers at MRI London.

"If that's what it takes then that's what we will do" is our attitude.
