Efficient Power Line Installation with Minimal Footprint
The client needed a machine that could work efficiently to build 7 kilometres of power lines and frames on a raised rail platform, all while occupying minimal space. Equiphire carefully assessed the work requirements and provided a specialised machine that met the technical needs and addressed the project’s space constraints. The solution included custom jibs and qualified personnel who operated the machine, ensuring the client could carry out the task without requiring large equipment. By removing the bulky all-terrain (AT) crane, Equiphire significantly reduced the project’s footprint while reducing costs, making the installation more efficient and affordable.
The Client’s Challenge
The challenge lay installing power lines and frames on a narrow, raised rail platform without disrupting the surrounding infrastructure. The platform’s confined space made using large cranes or other heavy machinery difficult, as they would have caused significant disruption or would not have fit in the limited space available. Additionally, the client sought to reduce operational costs while ensuring the project would be completed within a tight schedule.
Our Tailored Solution
Equiphire delivered a low-footprint machine equipped with custom jibs, allowing for efficient and safe operation in the confined space of the raised platform. Our trained personnel ensured the machine operated precisely, minimising any disruption risk. By removing the large AT crane, we reduced the footprint on the project site and significantly reduced costs, delivering the project on time and within budget.
