Free standing handrails

Brunel University, Uxbridge.

Description:  Originally an order for 1100m of Easyguard handrails, this project grew and grew.

20 new caged access ladders some with security shields to prevent student  high jinx   steel walk ways and Flexideck and other bespoke steel fabrications were installed by Safetyworks.

Originally planned for 2 deliveries and crane lifts; with only 4 days notice the bulk of materials had to be re-scheduled for 1 main delivery with a crane lift due to the sensitivity of the site!

A 44 tonne lorry was hired in at very short notice to compliment our own fleet and a new lifting plan draughted to cater for our biggest ever crane operation with the shortest ever lead in period
