Project: Thames Water Ring Main Shaft Excavation
Our customer faced constant failure and down time of their equipment owing to the excessive weight of the London Clay being excavated, compounded by a safety hazard when manually discharging a full skip. Time on this project was at a premium so Morgan est needed to find a solution...and quickly...
Conquip Industrial were approached with the problem and asked how to resolve. Many questions were faced regarding the operational site, its restrictions, load type and capacity and the need to have safe handling and safe discharge facilitates. The standard product was not considered an option for this role; it was going to take something special.
The Conquip team took their 6000 litre boat skip and gave it a complete makeover in design and build, adding a re-designed bale arm together with additional supports to take extreme weight and harsh working conditions...
Conquip Industrial took instruction, delivered a new design and manufactured boat skip that provided safe handling and discharge meeting with H&S requirements, together with a faultless performance and gave training - all within 10 days! The boat skip increased productivity by 20% regaining lost time and bringing the project in ahead of time.
