Part Three - The lift

12 tonne lift to the roof

Working in the confined space between buildings brought it's own problems, MRI London brought the solutions.

Unavoidable events such as high winds could have set the project back.

Thankfully everything was within safety limits and the operation went smoothly without hindrance.

View from the roof

Once the heavy plant was lifted it had to be guided to the actual opening in the roof that MRI London had cut to provide access.

Due to limitations of the building structure the access hole was not much larger than the 12 tonne chiller being lifted.

Teamwork came to the fore at this point to co-ordinate with the crane operator on the ground and MRI London operatives on the roof.

Lift and turn

As you can see in the picture on the left we didn't have much room for manoeuvre.

To avoid dangerous swinging all movement must be steady and deliberate. Any uncontrolled movement would cause damage to the chiller unit and/or damage to the fabric of the building.

With care and experience MRI London successfully completed the operation without difficulty.
