To facilitate the safe removal of the chimney stack, FPP proficiently employed high-reach Mobile Elevated Work Platform (MEWPs), granting access to the pinnacle of the chimney structure for rigging purposes. Once the initial section was successfully detached, FPP employed a versa-lift in conjunction with a crane to deftly transition the chimney segment from a vertical to a horizontal orientation.

In addition to the intricate removal and installation aspects, FPP efficiently managed a comprehensive waste disposal operation. This encompassed all requisite measures, including the provision of notifications for abnormal load transport pertaining to the oversized, redundant boilers. Notably, our waste disposal procedures adhere to the highest standards of accountability, with meticulous documentation accompanying each disposal process.

As a culminating phase of the project, FPP returned to perform the installation of new replacement boilers, seamlessly concluding the assignment to the utmost satisfaction of our valued customer.

Leveraging our diverse array of lifting machinery and equipment, FPP is adept at performing tasks within the most confined spaces, all while upholding the strictest standards of food safety and hygiene. For all your project inquiries, we invite you to contact FPP, and we will be delighted to assist you.

Utilising compact package gantries, FPP skilfully conveyed the tanks through a staggered height opening in the plant room wall. With precision, we rotated the tanks from a horizontal to a vertical orientation and positioned them securely within the confines of the plant room. This meticulous process was replicated for the remaining tanks.

This project serves as a testament to FPP’s capacity to harmonize its operations with the demands of a bustling construction site, effectively addressing the unique challenges posed by large-scale construction projects. It underscores our proficiency in establishing productive relationships with fellow contractors and site management, ensuring the project’s timely completion without conflicts or disruptions.

FPP meticulously adhered to a rigorous delivery and offloading schedule, methodically placing equipment to an on-site holding area before precisely selecting and installing each item. To facilitate the rotation and precise positioning of vessels within the skid unit, FPP expertly executed multiple tandem lifts, navigating through a complex network of overhead obstructions.

Throughout the project’s execution, FPP ensured the seamless continuity of brewery operations by coordinating the ingress of equipment in accordance with the production timetable.
We are delighted to report the successful completion of this endeavor, with the utmost satisfaction of our valued customer.

FPP meticulously executed the project in multiple phases, affording our customer essential flexibility within the intricate construction schedule. Our collaboration with a longstanding and esteemed client allowed us to deliver intricate lifting solutions punctually and within budgetary parameters.

In the pursuit of this objective, FPP harnessed the capabilities of their compact pick & carry crane, tailored for the complexities of dynamic working environments. This specialized equipment proved to be the linchpin that enabled the smooth removal of equipment, as its compact and nimble design harmoniously coexisted with the ongoing operational activities.

The relocation endeavour, marked by its multifaceted nature, unfolded over a series of meticulously planned and executed visits. Each phase was choreographed to ensure that not only did the equipment transition seamlessly to its new locale, but also that our client’s core activities remained undisturbed and unaffected.

Upon the culmination of this endeavour, it is indeed a testament to FPP’s dedication and adeptness that our client expressed unequivocal satisfaction. The success of the project was not merely confined to its timely completion, but also embraced the financial parameters that had been judiciously outlined.
This endeavour showcased how meticulous planning, strategic employment of cutting-edge equipment, and unwavering commitment can lead to remarkable achievements in even the most challenging of undertakings.

Given the spatial constraints on-site, FPP played a pivotal role in collaborating with the construction team, ensuring a consistent provision of lift and shift support throughout the project’s lifecycle. Through strategic engagement with our network of proficient subcontractors, FPP adeptly employed specialized Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMT) for the conveyance of fully assembled tank sections from the on-site assembly area to the designated installation entablature.

FPP provided a full contract lift solution for our esteemed client. Our adept utilization of heavy cranage enabled us to execute lifts with a maximum weight of 28,450kg, at an impressive radius of 31.0m.
The intricate nature of the tank construction process necessitated a unique approach: the assembly of conical sections in an inverted orientation. Within the scope of the installation, FPP meticulously planned and executed a tandem lift for the rotation of the conical sections, facilitated by our proficient lifting supervisors. Clear and constant communication was upheld, facilitating the seamless rotation and precise positioning of all eight conical tank sections within the designated tank entablature.

Consistent with our methodology, FPP replicated the successful approach in conveying the eight tank shells to the installation entablature. Each tank shell was supported during the fastening to the conical section, ensuring the precision alignment essential for the overall installation.
The project’s completion stands as a testament to FPP’s unwavering commitment to delivering complex endeavours with utmost professionalism and precision, ultimately contributing to the successful realization of our client’s vision.

The 200ton crane had to be positioned on the main entrance roadway serving the busy 24/7 Bournville site so hence a safe but speedy operation was required.

The roadway has a 6° downward slope and so the setting out of timber mats to form ramps for the crane to manoeuvre on to had to be very carefully thought out.

The design of the 10ton chiller called for a rigging proposal that would accommodate a ‘16 point lift’ and just for good measure the chiller had to be carefully positioned between an office block and Cadbury’s showpiece Victorian Baths.

“No pressure there then!” you might say…

The plant room is located in the basement of the data centre and accessed via a ramped access gangway and to add a further challenge the gangway floor is finished in ceramic tiles.

Working for our client Dornan Engineering Services one of our lift and shift teams with jacking and skating equipment were engaged on this operation.

Polyethylene ‘Track Mats’ were firstly installed to act as tile protection.

Each chiller was then negotiated up and down the ramp utilising anchored tirfor winches to act as motive force and load control for each chiller on the ramp.

To complete the service the offloading and loading of each chiller pack was undertaken utilising one of our hiab crane mounted vehicles.

This was an exceptionally challenging site amidst Centenary Square one of the busiest area’s in the City and, like many, had a challenging construction programme to deliver against.

Access to the site was severely restricted, steel road plates were deployed to protect the pedestrian walkway and significant shoring up of the underside of the boiler house floor was carried out in order to withstand the axle loadings imposed by the Versalift rigging truck.

With each item stripped of its auxiliary components, our 40-60 Versalift was just able to complete each lifting operation into the basement plant room utilising special ‘low headroom’ spreader beams designed and procured by us during the planning phase for the job.

In developing a safe system of work coupled with the specific skills and capabilities of the install team we once again demonstrated that we are well versed in the requirements needed to deliver for our customers.
