The problem
Taylor Bryce, a specialist timber frame erector were contracted to build a 70m long nursing home building on a very tight site with no access to the sides or the rear elevation.

The solution
R&B sited a IGO21 at the front of the building allowing all timber frame panel, floor cassette and roof trusses to be installed from one side. Due to the length of the building R&B returned to site halfway through the project to fold down and reposition the crane.

The result
By siting on sleepers on type 1 sub- base we kept costs to a minimum, Taylor Bryce saved 4 weeks on the build programme and acheived a 30% cost saving when compared to their mobile crane budget.
