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.
