UCLE Marshgate: Case Study Transcript

My name is Sean Byrne. The job we’re on now is the University College of London.
It’s going to be a one-storey basement and it’s going to be a ten-storey building consisting of four cores.
So the basement excavation on this job is going down six metres from where the capping beam is.

My name is Seamus Gaughan. I work for a company called A J Morrisroe.
As you can see, we’re involved in putting in some props. This is a system that we haven’t used previously — it was all new to us.

With the help of Conquip, the design team, and the engineers on site, it all went very well.
The drawings were excellent — like Lego when you want to put it together.

With the help of Conquip on site, they stayed with us for the day, installed a couple of props for us, showed us how it all went together, and explained everything in great detail.
They weren’t afraid to get their hands dirty, got well involved when they were here, and knew when it was time to stand back and let us have a go — they did that as well.

The team from Conquip actually brought two engineers on site to show the workers how to install the props.
They stayed with us for a full two days and showed that it was going to be done safely and done correctly, and I think everyone got it pretty quickly.
It was very good not just to sit in the office and be shown a video.

The props have gone in on time, on programme — actually ahead of time.
Conquip deliveries were all done on Conquip’s transport.
Through the programme, they never had any issues with their deliveries.
They were always booked in on time, and the whole process with Conquip was very good.

They’re excellent lads. I would love to work with them again.
It was a very good experience working with Conquip, and I think we will definitely work with them again.
