Liebherr LTM 500 Ton Crane
Project Brief
We were awarded the contract to utilise the Courtyard space as an emergency overflow canteen, increasing capacity for hospital staff.
The success of this extremely complex project depended on intricate planning and coordination, to install a large unit on a very strict schedule. A 500-ton Liebherr crane was used to lift a 15-ton modular unit into a courtyard in a live hospital environment. This very precise lift was conducted with less than a meter of leeway on each side of occupied, operational hospital units.
Additional consideration was required for the emergency resuscitation tunnel connecting St. Vincent’s Private Hospital to St. Vincent’s University Hospital, underneath the 500 ton crane.
