Our Projects team were instructed to undertake the replacement of two rooftop supply air handling unit fans at 33 Cavendish Square. With local authority approvals for crane lifts advised at 14 weeks, an alternative solution was sought. Through careful planning and involvement with various service delivery partners an alternative means of manoeuvring the fans was found. The new fans were successfully lifted through the building and into final position, with fresh air restored to the building in a timely fashion.

Another successful project completed by our team!
