Just Hanging Around
Our client Lee Warren Fabrication required the
Transport & Contract Lift of Node Building Gallows for Heathrow's new T5C.
We sent our rear steer low-loader and trailer to collect the 6 gallows from
Kent and deliver them to Heathrow's Terminal 5, each load was 5.5 meters long
and 3.5 meters round and weighed 11.5 tons.
|
 |
We then had to organise Abnormal Load Permits,
and liaise with BAA to use a special gate to enter the airfield. We then
provided a 60 ton mobile crane to offload each unit in an exclusion zone, and
then positioned each Gallow on the side of the terminal building taking great
care not to damage the pre installed glass and cladding panels.
|
 |
These gallows connect the node buildings on each stand, via
fixed links and rotunda's.
Each component was transported on time, installed to our method statement and
lift plan on time and without incident.
Project Manager Stephen Harvey of Lee Warren said:
“The whole project at Heathrow was a success. Many thanks for your help, guidance and professional service. We will most certainly use Gatwick Group again.”

Ongoing Works at Heathrow T2
|
|
At the same time as our Gallows Installation
project over at T5C, we have also been continuing works on behalf of
ThyssenKrupp and main contractor Balfour Beatty, installing Passenger Boarding
Bridges.
We have been overseeing the delivery of the bridges from ThyssenKrupp's
headquarters in Oviedo, Northern Spain and arranging airside escorts for all
Spanish vehicles upon arriving and leaving site.
|
 |
Our specialist team then oversaw the Contract
Lifting and Installation of the Passenger Boarding Bridges, the team is made up
of BAA security passed personnel who , as well having the relevant industry
qualifications, also have extensive experience of this type of installation,
combined with an understanding of the stringent BAA Heath and Safety
requirements that are in place when working in an Air Side zone.
|
 |
We also provided a mobile crane on site to
manoeuvre the bridges into place, along with the provision of all security
passed ancillary plant & vehicles required to complete the works, therefore
offering our clients a complete Turn-Key Solution regarding the Logistics &
Installation required for this section of the project.
