Investment in equipment produces
successful results
In the Nineteenth Century, Swansea Docks was one of the largest shipping ports in the world. As part of its regeneration, The Swansea Waterfront development will see the conception of over 2,000 new apartments and houses in addition to commercial, retail and leisure facilities.
Quest Property Ltd’s project to create 162 such apartments has been mana-ged by Main Contractor Sir Alfred McAlpine who in turn handed respon-sibility of the concrete structure to Don Hayes and Sons Ltd.
On site, there was an impressive variety of PERI equipment used ranging from VARIO girder wall Formwork to QUATTRO and TRIO column forms. For the slabs, both SKYDECK and MULTIPROP strike-and-erect systems were employed in combination to maximise turnaround.
This development is a prime example of how investment in equipment backed-up with thorough designs and logistical support can contribute to the success of a project.
“This is the first time I’ve used the SKYDECK system and I will definitely be using it again. PERI always provide good designs and delivery of equipment is well organised.”
