Baycourt Fly Tower Upgrade

Sunlive caught us in action this morning on Wharf Street starting the Baycourt upgrade with Marra Construction. The new fly tower will make for a far safer Fly Tower allowing set changes to occur more efficiently for staff and preformers. See Cityviews for more information.

Harbour Links Last Beam

Well its been a busy week with Fletcher Construction placing the last beam on The NZ Transport Agency Harbour Link Project. Peter McLeod our structural engineer has had his hands full working closely with engineer Gareth Hole from Fletchers planning a very technically complex lift. Maximus (GMK5170) operated by Brian Short and Lofty (GMK5130) operated by Justin Martin with very short outriggers to place a 70 Tonne Steel Beam with the help of Roy Ogle dogging it gently into place. You can read the full story on SunLive or at the Bay of Plenty Times websites. "It will be quite an engineering feat," Harbour Link project manager Kevin Reid said.

Eleven nears completion

Pictured Lofty our GMK5130 works at Eleven as it gets closer to completion at the hands of Marra Construction. It is a awesome structure Marra have completed here with two towers, roof top pools and amazing views. Well worth a look if you're in the Mt Maunganui Apartment Market.

Roofing Iron Placement- All About Reach

It's not often you have to reach that little bit further. Pictured the GMK5130 130 Tonne Crane, with 60 Metres of main boom and 18 metres of fly creating a combined boom length of 78 metres, reaches over 101 Aerodrome Rd for Bob Clarkson and Harkin Roofing. The picture was taken from around 20 Metres high in an access boom. Not a great feeling 100% trust in the operator and few white knuckles as I held on.
