In today’s update from the M1 to Raymond Terrace project, we’re taking a closer look at how SafeSmart access towers are optimising access on this massive job. With 77 bridge spans to build, the team at John Holland Gamuda has found an innovative solution to tackle the challenge—using freestanding access towers that can reach heights of 18 meters without any need for lateral ties. It’s a simple, yet clever, approach to a complex issue.
Dan Hill, the General Foreman for John Holland Gamuda, explains how these towers have streamlined operations. Instead of the usual hassle of moving scaffolding, the team now lifts entire towers with a crane, reducing time and effort. It’s a remarkable example of how the right tools can make a huge difference on a construction site.
Beyond the efficiency, the access towers also minimise the footprint on the site, creating more room for the work to progress. Dan strongly recommends that other contractors consider SafeSmart’s equipment for their own projects.
In short, these access towers have made a significant impact on the M1 to Raymond Terrace project, offering a faster, safer, and more efficient solution.
