Crane support on under pavement vaults

Coal cellars beside significant building Facade in central London

Under pavement cellars or vaults are be found mainly in Georgian,Victorian and older properties in Central London. These were orginally used for coal which was poured from above by the road through a hole in the footpath into the cellar or vault. They can be used today in many wonderful ways wine cellars or storage or even an extentsion of the basement living area.

Propping up a crane over a basement space is a challenge

We were asked to dsign the propping to allow a very large crane which during its task of lifting.Would impose loads onto the six coal vaults along the the front of the building. We used the scaffold tube system you can see in the photgraph, Our designers always try to create the most cost effective method of the use of tempoaray works.
