Welcome to the July newsletter
Welcome to the July Newsletter.
This month we've been busy at London's Waterloo Train Station, and reaching for the stars at the Savoy Theater which is home to the hit musical Legally Blonde.
We've also been entrusted with a priceless work of art which has taken Sculptor Philip Jackson two years to complete. We're still busy continuing works at Heathrow and Gatwick Airports.
As usual please do contact us if you would like to give us any feedback on our services.
Mighty Mini Crane used for Waterloo Station Upgrade Works
We all love a dynamic duo don't we ( just go with me on this one) Batman & Robin, Godzilla and Godzuki, to the comedy genius that is Little and Large.
Well now at Gatwick Group we've got our very own Dynamic Duo, our Unic Mini Crawler Crane may be small, but it packs a powerful punch, and teamed with our remote controlled Hiab Cranes it can be placed virtually anywhere, roof tops, viaducts, down holes, into tunnels, and funnily enough, on top of railway arches at Waterloo Station.
We provided full Risk Assessment and Method Statement for working within a tight access and egress area housing commercial units within the arches of London's Waterloo Station, to lift our Unic Mini Crane up onto the Network Rail Infrastructure above using our Hiab Crane.
Our CSCS & PTS trained Mini Crane Operator carried out lifting operations for the installation of new Lighting Columns along the platform & tracks.
We then carried out the removal of all Redundant Lighting Columns, for transport & disposal according to our ISO 14001 policy.
Gatwick Group Enlisted to Transport
and Install Sculpture
Crowds of people including local school children assembled at St John’s Cathedral in Portsmouth on the 22nd July to witness the unveiling of Philip Jackson’s sculpture of St John the Evangelist.
Gatwick Group were asked to carefully transport and install the work of art on behalf of our client Sculpture Studios, whilst making sure it was kept securely under wraps from any prying eyes before the big unveiling ceremony.
The statue has taken two years to complete and was finally unveiled on a two-metre high plinth in a ceremony conducted by the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Portsmouth.
Reaching For The Stars At The Savoy Hotel & Theater
The Savoy Hotel & Theater London, is home to the hit musical Legally Blonde, We were enlisted to provide contract lift and removal services of condensing equipment upon the roof of the landmark hotel by our client Chorus Group.
Security Guards had to be deployed to prevent any public access to the lift zone , and we supplied protective mats and flooring equipment to ensure no damage occurred to the Savoy's historic frontage.
The new Condensing machines are lifted up on to a flat roof area where our operator was standing for the best vantage point, and the redundant plant and equipment is removed and craned to our vehicle for disposal.
