Set within the Holborn district of central London, Lincoln's Inn is one of the most architecturally impressive sites in the City. A number of the buildings date back to the 1400's and the site has developed continually, with a great many more structures being added. None is more impressive than the Great Hall, completed in 1843 and opened by Queen Victoria. Universal Aerial Platforms, have in depth experience with the complexities involved on these type of sites, particularly where access to the working location is difficult to achieve, and where great respect must be considered for delicate structures and load baring strengths. Lee Kerr, Universal's Narrow Access Specialist, worked closely with the sites property maintenance team to understand their exact needs for works to be completed. Due to the limited time available for access to complete the internal work, the FS (falcon spider) 290 narrow access work platform was used. Although gaining entry to the work site required technical precision for this size of machine, the extra height afforded by the Spider 29 enabled maximum reach within the hall, and a minimum number re set up times. In addition to the internal structural inspection work, Universal also supplied a FS (falcon spider) 370 narrow access work platform, to assist with external structural inspections. Both machines were supplied with operator as there knowledge and familiarity with access equipment enabled the architects and surveyors to carry out their duties more efficiently. |
