Blade Access recently attended a project on the River Aire, Leeds, where our customer needed access to a riverbank wall to core drill for a water outfall.
With access to the work area heavily restricted, finding a safe and practical solution was the first priority. We attended site to survey the works and establish the most suitable access solution.
Following the site survey, we supplied one of our suitable truck mounted platforms with negative reach capabilities, allowing the team to access the wall safely from the available working area.
The site survey was key to making sure the machine could be positioned suitably and safely, allowing the required core drilling to be carried out efficiently.
Supported by one of our experienced operators, the platform was positioned and operated with precision to provide safe, controlled access.
It’s another example of how the right Truck Mounted Platform, combined with knowledgeable planning and a thorough understanding of the site, can provide a solution where access is far from straightforward.
