Description

The Contractor (Align JV) has identified a package of works for the design and supply of a lifting beam with magnet to lift and relocate the formwork elements (up to 15T) using the existing overhead crane within our precast factory. This is associated with our works on the Colne Valley Viaduct. The formwork elements the lifting beam must be able to lift are of the following dimensions: Width: 6500mm Length: 2050mm to 4350mm The lifting beam needs to consider that some formwork elements have a top inclined panel which will need to be compensated for the centre of gravity. The proposed location of magnets (red areas) is shown in Figure 4 in the attachment. The arrangement is this image is considering only 4 magnets however it could be more if needed. The magnetic lifting beam must be operated with radio remote control to be able to do all function from a distance. The package will be competitively tendered and assessed against a split between commercial (price) and defined technical criteria. In July 2017, ALIGN (Bouygues Travaux Publics, Sir Robert McAlpine and Volker Fitzpatrick) won the significant C1 package of the UK High Speed 2 line (HS2). Lot C1 consists of 21.6km of high speed rail infrastructure in a rural environment. This will include a 3.37km viaduct, 15.75km twin-tubes tunnel and five vent shafts handling both piston effect and tunnel ventilation.
