project build programmes becoming more condensed and clients wanting projects delivered faster for less, the panel discussed how contractors achieve the best temporary works design, sequencing and installation plans, to deliver a more efficient and safer project. The group set out to ensure the audience would understand the blockers and drivers of early collaboration in basement construction, how to achieve value engineering in temporary works, balancing a trio of cost, quality and time, and also touched on sustainability demands.<br \/>\nHere\u2019s our highlights from the panel discussion\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>On early collaboration.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Dimitrios said<\/strong> <em>\u201cIt\u2019s important to explain the parameters to the client and ask about constraints early on, when there is more positive influence on outcomes and costs. We can then take them through the journey with specialists to improve buildability.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Martin said:<\/strong> <em>\u201cThe Gateway II process is improving collaboration. Clients want more flexibility commercially but at some point, parties do need to be locked in to build the best solution.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Kevin said:<\/strong> <em>\u201cIt’s difficult to quantify early collaboration but the further down the programme and design and technical pathway can impact the project parameters and cost immensely. The UK does well but we should collaborate earlier with specialists to create a plan that runs right through a programme.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>James Simpson said:<\/strong> <em>\u201cIt\u2019s common to be brought in at RIBA stage 3 or 4, but if you offshoot those then opportunity to improve the scheme is reduced. Building a basement is a very complicated activity with engineering judgement, expertise and process. We work with consulting engineers and contractors and in order to deliver client value, the earlier the better.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>What does good look like in basement construction?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>James Cox said:<\/strong> <em>\u201cThere is a push to be more sustainable and when we’re involved early on, we can integrate the Temporary and Permanent Works structures. Requirements have to be solutioned to address both elements. Clients are pushing sustainability and it\u2019s up to us to bring lots of proof and examples to demonstrate it can be done.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Dimitrios said:<\/strong> <em>\u201cSometimes we find there is misalignment between project objectives and the milestones that the client has set. Those milestones may be driven by project financing rather than feasible programme milestones. The value is achieved by jump starting the super structure while the basement is in progress.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Claire said:<\/strong> <em>\u201cThe client\u2019s contract needs to set realistic objectives and the main contractor then sets the tone for honest communication with specialists, reducing risk and improving quality.

For us, product innovation isn\u2019t simply about introducing new equipment; it also involves reviewing, updating and improving our products to respond to customer feedback, staying ahead of changes in regulations and good guidance, and addressing real challenges faced on construction sites.<\/p>\n<p>The standard we set ourselves is to be the industry leader for equipment and accompanying operational and technical guidance. Over the years, our personnel cages have become widely trusted by contractors for their reliability, durability and compliance with the highest industry standards, including BS EN, EU and LOLER regulations, but there is always room for improvement\u2026<\/p>\n<h2>The Background<\/h2>\n<p>In recent years, we’ve been aware that some contractors have had a desire to have personnel cages on-site with self-rescue or emergency descent capabilities, in turn driving a wider need within the industry for equipment that better supports emergency evacuation procedures and compliance with BS 8681:2024.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, further examination of BS EN 14502-1:2010 (the standard covering suspended personnel cages) prompted Conquip, a Tier 1 contractor and the industry\u2018s Lead Appointed Person group to, encourage all personnel cages to be fitted with individual harness attachment points.<\/p>\n<p>Recognising both the practical challenges faced on-site and the direction of industry guidance, Conquip has taken steps to further enhance the safety features of our range of personnel cages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Today, we\u2019re pleased to introduce the latest safety improvements across our personnel cage range.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>New Safety Upgrades for 2026<\/h2>\n<p>To support improved safety practices and full compliance with BS EN 14502-1:2010 and BS 8681:2024, we have upgraded our <a href=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/product\/lifting-equipment\/rescue-cage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rescue Cage,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/product\/lifting-equipment\/stretcher-cage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stretcher Cage<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/product\/lifting-equipment\/access-man-cage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Access Cage<\/a> range with major safety features.

Square Hollow Section (SHS) Emergency Descent Point (EDP):<\/strong> A structurally verified and load-rated Emergency Descent Point has been integrated into the cage design, to support controlled emergency evacuation procedures where required following a site-specific risk assessment.<\/p>\n<p>Both the harness attachment points and the designated Emergency Descent Point have been engineered with rounded profiles. This helps ensure smooth operation when used with ropes or lanyards while reducing the risk of trapping, sticking or fraying during use.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong> In addition, our <strong>Rescue Cages<\/strong> and<strong> Stretcher Cages<\/strong> are now available with optional stretcher mounting brackets. These allow a stretcher to be stored safely off the floor of the cage while keeping it easily accessible when required, improving both safety and organisation during emergency response situations.<\/p>\n<h2>Continuous Improvement Across Our Fleet<\/h2>\n<p>As part of our commitment to continuous improvement and customer safety:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>All newly manufactured Access, Stretcher and Rescue Cages now include these upgraded features as standard.<\/li>\n<li>Our stock of hire fleet is currently being retrofitted, with upgrades also being carried out when cages are returned from hire at one of our regional locations around the UK.<\/li>\n<li>This process ensures that equipment in circulation continues to meet the latest safety expectations and compliance requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>New Product Innovation \u2013 Coming Soon<\/h2>\n<p>We’ve developed a new Large (12-Person) Rescue Cage, similar to the 12-Person Access Cage but with fully enclosed mesh sides around the top section, stretcher access, stretcher mounting brackets and a designated harness attachment point per individual in the cage. This Large Rescue Cage is launching soon.<\/p>\n<h2>Supporting Safer Lifting Operations<\/h2>\n<p>When using people cages, it is essential to have confidence that the equipment in use has been designed with safety, compliance and real site conditions in mind.<\/p>\n<p>These latest upgrades reflect Conquip’s ongoing commitment to improving lifting equipment and supporting safer working practices across the built environment industry.<\/p>\n<p>When you choose our personnel cages, you can be confident that you are using equipment designed to meet the highest standards of safety and compliance.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>FAQs:<\/h2>\n<p><strong>What Makes a Cage Compliant?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sides enclosed up to 500mm high as per 5.6.1 of BS EN 14502-1:2010.<\/li>\n<li>Free foot space to avoid crushing hazard as set out in 5.4.6 of BS EN 14502-1:2010.<\/li>\n<li>Chains must be rated to at least 8x (weight of the cage + cage lifting capacity) as per 5.3.1 of BS EN 14502-1:2010.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Do your Personnel Cages comply with BS EN 14502-1:2010?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yes, this range of cages comply with BS EN 14502-1:2010, BS EN ISO 12100:2010 and BS 8681:2024, which are set by the British Standards Institution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Do all your cages comply with LOLER?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yes, where applicable, our cages comply with LOLER regulations.

Shaft Access Platform: The Story that Redefined Shaft Lining"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>In 2021, during one particular SCS Railways package on the HS2 project, a major contractor encountered a familiar challenge associated with deep excavation shaft works. The construction sequence required personnel to carry out critical waterproofing lining operations at depths of up to 60 metres across five separate sites. Each excavation presented unique constraints, with diameters ranging from 15 to 25 metres.<\/p>\n<p>This raised the question\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there a way to access the shaft safely and efficiently?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Conquip took on the challenge, forming the foundation for what would become the <a href=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/product\/lifting-equipment\/shaft-access-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shaft Access Platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39978 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/02\/CQ_HS2-21-WEB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/02\/CQ_HS2-21-WEB.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/02\/CQ_HS2-21-WEB-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/02\/CQ_HS2-21-WEB-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/02\/CQ_HS2-21-WEB-100x67.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Where the idea began\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>Existing installation methods required operatives to position the waterproof membrane roll on the shaft floor. They were lifted in an access cage and leaned out to fix the lining in place. Alternatively, operatives would throw the membrane roll over the shaft edge and then descend in the access cage to secure it.<\/p>\n<p>Both approaches posed significant safety risks and were highly inefficient. They also frequently resulted in damage to the membrane, requiring the process to be repeated and causing further delays.<\/p>\n<p>In response to the customers’ concerns for safety and inefficiencies, Conquip\u2019s engineering team began developing a new solution that would:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Ensure the safety of personnel working at height\/depth.<\/li>\n<li>Safe and balanced platform for, initially, up to four operatives at once.<\/li>\n<li>Prevent damage to the waterproof membrane.<\/li>\n<li>Allow the lining membrane to be transported with the staff on the platform.<\/li>\n<li>Be compliant with regulations, including Working at Height and LOLER.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Result: Safe and Efficient Installation for Lining Shafts<\/h2>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/product\/lifting-equipment\/shaft-access-platform\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shaft Access Platform<\/a> was developed as a safety-led design, incorporating several key features that significantly improved efficiency. These included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Retractable roof:<\/strong> A compliant, retractable roof, as regulations require personnel cages to have an overhead roof to protect workers from falling objects. Plus, it enables material loading with a crane during the working shift without removing the platform from the shaft, delivering a substantial improvement in time efficiency.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A-frame system:<\/strong> The system allowed operatives to install and transport the waterproof membrane smoothly and consistently, accommodate different roll sizes, and ensure a straightforward, controlled installation process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pneumatic wheels:<\/strong> Reduced the risk of damage to both the waterproof membrane and the shaft walls during operation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stable and safe working environment:<\/strong> Engineers designed the platform to safely support up to five operatives and their tools, account for shifts in centre of gravity during use, and include recessed handrails to eliminate hand-crush risks, foot plates, an impact-tested roof, integrated harness anchor points, and multiple lifting points for safe raising and lowering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The innovation of this product came from a simple and traditional way of working. After successfully implementing it on the first HS2 package, Conquip deployed the platform on four more HS2 sites over the next 2\u20133 years. They then added the Shaft Access Platform to their standard product catalogue, meeting wider industry demand for safer shaft logistics solutions and improving overall safety standards.<\/p>\n<style>#jtg-39979 .modula-item .jtg-social a, .lightbox-socials.jtg-social a{ color: #ffffff }#jtg-39979 .modula-item .jtg-social svg, .lightbox-socials.jtg-social svg { height: 16px; width: 16px }#jtg-39979 .modula-item .jtg-social a:not(:last-child), .lightbox-socials.jtg-social a:not(:last-child) { margin-right: 10px }#jtg-39979 .modula-item .figc {color:#ffffff;}#jtg-39979 .modula-item .modula-item-content { transform: scale(1) }#jtg-39979 .modula-items .figc p.description { font-size:14px; }#jtg-39979 .modula-items .figc p.description { color:#ffffff;}#jtg-39979.modula-gallery .modula-item > a, #jtg-39979.modula-gallery .modula-item, #jtg-39979.modula-gallery .modula-item-content > a:not(.modula-no-follow) { cursor:zoom-in; } #jtg-39979.modula-gallery .modula-item-content .modula-no-follow { cursor: default; } @media screen and (max-width:480px){#jtg-39979 .modula-item .figc .jtg-title { font-size: 12px; }#jtg-39979 .modula-items .figc p.description { color:#ffffff;font-size:10px; }}<\/style>\n<!-- Gallery Container -->\n<div id=\"jtg-39979\" class=\"modula modula-gallery modula-custom-grid\" data-config=\"{"height":0,"tabletHeight":0,"mobileHeight":0,"desktopHeight":0,"enableTwitter":false,"enableWhatsapp":false,"enableFacebook":false,"enablePinterest":false,"enableLinkedin":false,"enableEmail":false,"randomFactor":0,"type":"custom-grid","columns":12,"gutter":10,"mobileGutter":10,"tabletGutter":10,"desktopGutter":10,"enableResponsive":"0","tabletColumns":"2","mobileColumns":"1","lazyLoad":"1","lightboxOpts":{"loop":false,"arrows":true,"toolbar":true,"keyboard":true,"wheel":false,"buttons":["close"],"hash":false,"lang":"en","touch":false,"protect":false,"i18n":{"en":{"CLOSE":"Close","NEXT":"Next","PREV":"Previous","Error":"The requested content cannot be loaded.

Drag Skip: The Story of the Stone Saver"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>In the early 2010s, it was common to tip shingle onto the ground from trucks when the materials were delivered, which resulted in significant amounts of waste. On average, around one-eighth of each truckload was lost due to contamination from wet ground and general material loss. This approach also impacted productivity, as operators were required to repeatedly travel between stockpiles. In addition, moving material with dumpers increased labour costs, fuel consumption, and CO\u2082 emissions.<\/p>\n<p>This very challenge was brought to us when a plant manager from a large groundworks contractor asked us to design and build a new solution to address the issue. This raised an important question\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>Was there a way to reduce material wastage from deliveries and stockpiles?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From a rough sketching on a piece of paper, later became the <a href=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/product\/waste-skips\/drag-skip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Excavator Drag Skip<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12930 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/05\/Drag-Skip-blog4.jpg\" alt=\"Excavator drag skip\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" \/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/05\/Drag-Skip-blog4.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2020\/05\/Drag-Skip-blog4-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Where the Idea Began\u2026<\/h2>\n<p>After the initial meeting, we began developing a solution that would:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Match the capacity of an 8-wheel tipper.<\/li>\n<li>Be used without the need for a dumper or driver going to and from the stockpile.<\/li>\n<li>Reduce the amount of material loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The concept began as a heavy-duty skip featuring angled ends and a large, robust pull bar, allowing an excavator to drag the skip with it directly to the work area. Through multiple site trials and several design iterations, the first prototype was refined and ultimately developed into the final, optimised product.<\/p>\n<h2>The Result: Efficient Material Handling<\/h2>\n<p>Our first Excavator Drag Skip was developed with a 7,500-litre capacity, matching that of an 8-wheel tipper, allowing it to be dragged around the site by an excavator without material loss. This delivered clear improvements in efficiency, cost savings, and reduced emissions.<\/p>\n<p>The contractor helped design, trial and bought the first unit. They were so impressed with the product\u2019s performance and quality that they quickly ordered a second. Shortly afterwards, they expanded their fleet further, adding seven more units across their sites.<\/p>\n<p>Following strong demand from other groundworkers, our <a href=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/product\/waste-skips\/drag-skip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Excavator Drag Skip<\/a> became a catalogue item, and the range has been expanded with different sizes.<\/p>\n<style>#jtg-39602 .modula-item .jtg-social a, .lightbox-socials.jtg-social a{ color: #ffffff }#jtg-39602 .modula-item .jtg-social svg, .lightbox-socials.jtg-social svg { height: 16px; width: 16px }#jtg-39602 .modula-item .jtg-social a:not(:last-child), .lightbox-socials.jtg-social a:not(:last-child) { margin-right: 10px }#jtg-39602 .modula-item .figc {color:#ffffff;}#jtg-39602 .modula-item .modula-item-content { transform: scale(1) }#jtg-39602 .modula-items .figc p.description { font-size:14px; }#jtg-39602 .modula-items .figc p.description { color:#ffffff;}#jtg-39602.modula-gallery .modula-item > a, #jtg-39602.modula-gallery .modula-item, #jtg-39602.modula-gallery .modula-item-content > a:not(.modula-no-follow) { cursor:zoom-in; } #jtg-39602.modula-gallery .modula-item-content .modula-no-follow { cursor: default; } @media screen and (max-width:480px){#jtg-39602 .modula-item .figc .jtg-title { font-size: 12px; }#jtg-39602 .modula-items .figc p.description { color:#ffffff;font-size:10px; }}<\/style>\n<!-- Gallery Container -->\n<div id=\"jtg-39602\" class=\"modula modula-gallery modula-custom-grid\" data-config=\"{"height":0,"tabletHeight":0,"mobileHeight":0,"desktopHeight":0,"enableTwitter":false,"enableWhatsapp":false,"enableFacebook":false,"enablePinterest":false,"enableLinkedin":false,"enableEmail":false,"randomFactor":0,"type":"custom-grid","columns":12,"gutter":10,"mobileGutter":10,"tabletGutter":10,"desktopGutter":10,"enableResponsive":"0","tabletColumns":"2","mobileColumns":"1","lazyLoad":"1","lightboxOpts":{"loop":false,"arrows":true,"toolbar":true,"keyboard":true,"wheel":false,"buttons":["close"],"hash":false,"lang":"en","touch":false,"protect":false,"i18n":{"en":{"CLOSE":"Close","NEXT":"Next","PREV":"Previous","Error":"The requested content cannot be loaded.

href=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/product\/waste-skips\/drag-skip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Excavator Drag Skip<\/a>, including that it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Stops the need for a dumper truck and therefore, reduce the frequent damage to dumper trucks, as excavators commonly dig into the dumper’s front bucket, scooping out materials, which can lead to costly repairs, like new handbrakes.<\/li>\n<li>Reduces the impact of the ground churn, as excavators and dumpers don\u2019t need to travel back and forth.<\/li>\n<li>Enables faster, cleaner, and more controlled backfill operations as the skip stays with the excavator operator.<\/li>\n<li>Cuts the need for space for having a stockpile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12919

This choice comes down to preference, as both options can be used safely and in line with best practice guidance (available in our <a href=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/product-user-guides\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technical user guide<\/a> or with our <a href=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/product\/waste-skips\/drag-skip\/#videoembed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">safety video<\/a> covering best practice).<\/p>\n<p>However, it\u2019s worth noting that many Tier 1 contractors now favour the Concrete Skip without a Bale Arm.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex;justify-content: space-between\">\n<div style=\"flex: 1;margin-right: 10px\">\n<h4>Concrete Coneflow Skip<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-22346 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/07\/Concrete-Coneflow-Skip-Geared.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" \/ loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/07\/Concrete-Coneflow-Skip-Geared.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/07\/Concrete-Coneflow-Skip-Geared-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/07\/Concrete-Coneflow-Skip-Geared-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/07\/Concrete-Coneflow-Skip-Geared-600x600.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/h4>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/product\/concrete-skips\/coneflow-skip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Concrete Coneflow Skip<\/a> can be filled horizontally and discharged vertically, allowing for quick, efficient operation.
