the challenge
The new Mackintosh Building is located on a busy London thoroughfare, home to both businesses and residents. The delivery of the scanners necessitated several weekend road closures, restricting access and parking. The scanners were located within the lower basement of the new building, which called for intricate logistics and delivery strategies to ensure the safe arrival of the equipment.
the solution -
managing the shared access
Working collaboratively with the Hospital Trust and Theatre Staff, Apollo developed an innovative solution to negate any risk of the patients and construction workers coming into contact with one another.
the solution - moving the kit
The scanning suite was located in a logistically challenging location. Apollo designed and constructed a lifting platform at pavement level, capable of taking the weight of the scanner(s) and lowering them into place on their respective basement levels. The existing reception was removed to facilitate the installation of the lifting platform. Each piece of kit was then moved, by hand, through the corridors,
completing the installation
All three pieces of equipment were safely moved into place, and all remedial work including the connection of the devices to the new electrical and mechanical services completed.
The purchase built lifting platform was also removed from the building and the reception re-installed.
