Cork Airport Crane Lift

Project Overview

Location: Cork Airport Business Park

Date: August 2025

Sector: Telecommunications

This case study demonstrates our ability to deliver complex lifts in highly controlled environments, balancing safety, efficiency, and client satisfaction.

Results

  • Client Satisfaction: The job was completed smoothly and efficiently, exceeding expectations.
  • Minimal Disruption: Local businesses were pleased as parking spaces were reinstated earlier than planned.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Airport Authorities were satisfied that all works were carried out safely and within the agreed restrictions.

Challenges

  • Strict jib height restrictions due to airport flight paths.
  • Crane setup required in a live, busy car park.
  • All work had to be carried out within specific timeframes approved by the Airport Authorities.

Our Solution

  • Crane Selection: An LTM1060 3.1 was chosen for its strength at long reach while staying within the height restrictions.
  • Lift Planning: Detailed lift plans and drawings were created to provide both the client and Airport Authorities with a clear visual of the operation before works began.
  • Safety Measures: Hard barriers were supplied and installed to secure the setup area and ensure no unauthorised access.
  • Coordination: Kavanagh Crane Hire liaised closely with the Airport Authorities throughout the planning phase, securing full approval before the lift commenced.

Execution

  • The crane arrived on site on schedule and was set up in line with the agreed lift plan.
  • Hard barriers were installed to maintain a safe working environment.
  • All units were lifted and placed successfully onto the roof without issue.
  • The operation was completed ahead of schedule, allowing barriers to be removed quickly so businesses could regain use of all parking spaces.
