HELICOPTER LIFT - MARKET STREET

CENTER CITY PHILADELPHIA

To meet the challenge of quickly performing multiple equipment lifts nearly 500 feet above a traditionally busy intersection and in close proximity to other skyscrapers, the Thackray Crane Rental team utilized a Super Puma heavy lift helicopter along with specially trained and experienced flight and ground crews. Coordinating by radio in real time, work started early in the morning when temperatures were below 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Throughout the day, using specialized equipment, the Thackray Crane Rental team worked with the helicopter crews to safely lower the outdated HVAC equipment and to lift new HVAC cooling towers into place.

Over a weekend Thackray Crane took on the complex workload for the material handling, temporary storage and synchronized heavy-haul oversize transport of the new cooling towers to the work site. Thackray’s skilled workforce of drivers and operators met up at Thackray Crane’s huge warehouse and from there, drove the convoy of tractors and loaded oversize trailers to the job site. Escorted by Philadelphia Police traffic enforcement officers and vehicles, new equipment was pulled by heavy-haul tractors as the drivers meticulously navigated through several of the narrow streets in Center City Philadelphia in order to get to the work site. On their early morning arrival before sunrise, Thackray’s project manager began coordination with Philadelphia Police and then started working with other onsite contractors and the helicopter ground crew to provide the final site planning, job walk-through and a planning and logistics review.
