Our range of services
In addition to the overall planning of the refurbishment project, we undertook the dismantling and reassembly of the press. Working alongside the client’s structural engineer, we developed a special support frame for handling press components weighing up to 65 tonnes. We also provided a specialised crane for the lifting operations and carried out the assembly safely and on schedule, despite the confined space.
