PROJECT CASE STUDY: A CRANAGE SOLUTION TO WITHSTAND WESTERN AUSTRALIA'S 'FREMANTLE DOCTOR' WINDS

Located on the Western Australian coast in a region renowned for being impacted by the ‘Fremantle Doctor’ winds, the greenfield site for this waste-to-energy project posed a number of construction challenges.
After our client was awarded the lead contract for engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) on the project in 2019, they contacted Marr Contracting to work with them to develop a heavy lifting strategy and cranage solution to support their planned modular construction methodology.
Based on their experiences constructing similar projects, our client’s primary concern was to find a cranage solution that would decrease the number of lifting activities on the project and reduce the risks that winds of up to 20 knots (37km) per hour played on the construction program.
Marr’s cranage solution - using a 330-tonne capacity M2480D Heavy Lift Luffer (HLL) stood on one of our ballasted static bases and crane mat system - allowed critical lifts, weighing up to 150 tonnes, to be completed by a single crane from a fixed location.
