Environmental regulations are tightening, ESG requirements are increasingly embedded in tender specifications, and QHSE teams are driving compliance and behavioural change from the inside. The pressure on contractors to demonstrate genuine, measurable environmental progress has never been greater.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">But what most sustainability conversations miss out is this: sustainable working methods still need to stack up commercially. Contractors are under pressure to reduce waste, lower emissions, improve compliance, and keep projects moving efficiently without blowing the budget. The reality is that these goals don't have to be in conflict. Smarter equipment choices can deliver environmental gains and productivity improvements at the same time. Often, the two can go hand in hand.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">At Conquip, sustainability is built into the engineering of many of our solutions, designed to help contractors reduce environmental impact across excavation, material handling, water &amp; dust management and fuel operations, without compromising on performance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Here's how some of our key equipment can help your teams achieve their environmental goals on-site\u2026<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-section e42604-e6 mwvg-0 mwvg-2 mwvg-3 mwvg-4\"><div class=\"x-row x-container max width e42604-e7 mwvg-7 mwvg-8 mwvg-a mwvg-c mwvg-d mwvg-e mwvg-f mwvg-g mwvg-n mwvg-p\"><div class=\"x-row-inner\"><div class=\"x-col e42604-e8 mwvg-14 mwvg-15\"><div class=\"x-text x-text-headline e42604-e9 mwvg-1f mwvg-1g mwvg-1h mwvg-1i\"><div class=\"x-text-content\"><div class=\"x-text-content-text\"><h2 class=\"x-text-content-text-primary\">Reducing Waste and Material Loss<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-text x-content e42604-e10 mwvg-1m mwvg-1n mwvg-1p mwvg-1q mwvg-1r mwvg-1s\"><p>Material waste is one of the most persistent and overlooked sources of both environmental impact and unnecessary cost on construction sites.

The sessions will see operatives work with the equipment under close supervision from the trainer.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, everyone can check back to the in-depth technical <a href=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/technical-document-library\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">user guides<\/a> and a range of step-by-step animations and videos afterwards at any time, to help ensure best practice is followed.<\/p>\n<p>Over approximately a two-hour timeframe and blending theory with practical learning, we carry out classroom teaching and demonstrate checks for all equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Afterwards, everyone has a certificate to show their attendance \u2013 valid for two years &#8211; and to provide evidence to the QHSE team.<\/p>\n<h2>What happens in each training session?<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/bulkx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BulkX<\/a> \u2013 Direct-to-Truck and Smart-Release<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our bulk excavation methodology transforms muck handling and needs experienced operatives working with these big drop-bottom skips.

But in 2009, we designed and manufactured a leading muck handling solution, BulkX, to improve those aspects.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, <a href=\"https:\/\/cqegroup.com\/uk\/bulkx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BulkX<\/a> has transported millions of cubic meters of materials and helped with major projects across the globe, often involving complex, deep excavations with space or lifting restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>We sat down with our Commercial Director, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/george-critchley-16ab18a9\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">George Critchley<\/a>, who has worked alongside our engineering team on every BulkX project that we&#8217;ve worked on, to ask some questions on why it&#8217;s becoming popular around the globe.<\/p>\n<h2>Q:\u00a0Can you introduce yourself and your role at Conquip Engineering Group?<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m George Critchley, the Commercial Director.<br \/>\nPart of my role involves working closely with our in-house teams of engineers and manufacturing experts to support contractors working on large infrastructure projects. BulkX has always featured heavily in this work, especially on international projects.<\/p>\n<h2>Q: What is BulkX, and how does it work?<\/h2>\n<p>BulkX is an advanced bulk excavation solution designed to increase productivity while ensuring safety on infrastructure projects. It\u2019s suitable for projects of all sizes, including those with complex or changing site conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The solution operates by lowering the skip, by crane, into what is often an area of deep excavation, an excavator loading the muck at the bottom, then lifting the BulkX to discharge material directly into muck-away trucks or stockpiles, before repeating the cycle for continuous, efficient operation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"x-resp-embed x-is-video x-is-vimeo\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Built with BulkX: Behind the Scenes of Global Muck Handling Innovation\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1188019318?h=b7894b70f2&amp;dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"1020\" height=\"574\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h2>Q: Which projects has Conquip been part of around the globe, and what were their challenges?<\/h2>\n<p>We have plenty of experience working on different project types, recently it&#8217;s been focused on metro transportation projects across the UK, USA, Canada, Europe and Australia. The station boxes are increasingly getting bigger, deeper and more complex on sites where there is a limited footprint and are located in compact, congested locations with restricted access.<\/p>\n<p>I believe we\u2019ve proven over the years that our wide range of problem-solving, best-in-class solutions address these and can be of great help in delivering productivity, safety and sustainable benefits to projects.<\/p>\n<p>As just one example, working with the Ontario Line Group meant we saw the challenges involved in constructing four new subway stations in a densely populated area, where space constraints made excavation and material removal challenging.<\/p>\n<p>By getting involved early on, we developed a bespoke BulkX solution, including a gantry and a 12,000-litre skip tailored to the site and the country&#8217;s truck specifications, all certified to meet local requirements.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, it improved productivity and efficiency by loading up to six trucks per hour, while also reducing CO2 emissions through faster excavation and loading cycles.<\/p>\n<style>#jtg-42047 .modula-item .jtg-social a, .lightbox-socials.jtg-social a{ color: #ffffff }#jtg-42047 .modula-item .jtg-social svg, .lightbox-socials.jtg-social svg { height: 16px; width: 16px }#jtg-42047 .modula-item .jtg-social a:not(:last-child), .lightbox-socials.jtg-social a:not(:last-child) { margin-right: 10px }#jtg-42047 .modula-item .figc {color:#ffffff;}#jtg-42047 .modula-item .modula-item-content { transform: scale(1) }#jtg-42047 .modula-items .figc p.description { font-size:14px; }#jtg-42047 .modula-items .figc p.description { color:#ffffff;}#jtg-42047.modula-gallery .modula-item > a, #jtg-42047.modula-gallery .modula-item, #jtg-42047.modula-gallery .modula-item-content > a:not(.modula-no-follow) { cursor:zoom-in; } #jtg-42047.modula-gallery .modula-item-content .modula-no-follow { cursor: default; } @media screen and (max-width:480px){#jtg-42047 .modula-item .figc .jtg-title {  font-size: 12px; }#jtg-42047 .modula-items .figc p.description { color:#ffffff;font-size:10px; }}<\/style>\n<!-- Gallery Container -->\n<div  id=\"jtg-42047\" class=\"modula modula-gallery modula-custom-grid\" data-config=\"{&quot;height&quot;:0,&quot;tabletHeight&quot;:0,&quot;mobileHeight&quot;:0,&quot;desktopHeight&quot;:0,&quot;enableTwitter&quot;:false,&quot;enableWhatsapp&quot;:false,&quot;enableFacebook&quot;:false,&quot;enablePinterest&quot;:false,&quot;enableLinkedin&quot;:false,&quot;enableEmail&quot;:false,&quot;randomFactor&quot;:0,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;custom-grid&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:12,&quot;gutter&quot;:10,&quot;mobileGutter&quot;:10,&quot;tabletGutter&quot;:10,&quot;desktopGutter&quot;:10,&quot;enableResponsive&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;tabletColumns&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;mobileColumns&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;lazyLoad&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;lightboxOpts&quot;:{&quot;loop&quot;:false,&quot;arrows&quot;:true,&quot;toolbar&quot;:true,&quot;keyboard&quot;:true,&quot;wheel&quot;:false,&quot;buttons&quot;:[&quot;close&quot;],&quot;hash&quot;:false,&quot;lang&quot;:&quot;en&quot;,&quot;touch&quot;:false,&quot;protect&quot;:false,&quot;i18n&quot;:{&quot;en&quot;:{&quot;CLOSE&quot;:&quot;Close&quot;,&quot;NEXT&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,&quot;PREV&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,&quot;Error&quot;:&quot;The requested content cannot be loaded.

This reduces the overall cost by doing everything possible to minimise changes down the line. It can sometimes be simple things, like specifying the right-sized crane to lift the right-sized BulkX to fill a truck with just 1 skip.<\/p>\n<h2>Q:\u00a0What are the common challenges you see on major projects, and how do you help overcome them?<\/h2>\n<p>One common requirement around the globe is deep excavation projects in confined urban areas with limited access time available.<\/p>\n<p>On these sites, we support contractors by providing an efficient method for spoil removal. The BulkX can be lowered into deep excavation sites, be filled and lifted back up in a smooth, rapid cycle, keeping operations continuous and efficient. Depending on the skip capacity, it has reduced dig programmes by up to 12 weeks, as showcased on one part of the Crossrail project in London.<\/p>\n<style>#jtg-42045 .modula-item .jtg-social a, .lightbox-socials.jtg-social a{ color: #ffffff }#jtg-42045 .modula-item .jtg-social svg, .lightbox-socials.jtg-social svg { height: 16px; width: 16px }#jtg-42045 .modula-item .jtg-social a:not(:last-child), .lightbox-socials.jtg-social a:not(:last-child) { margin-right: 10px }#jtg-42045 .modula-item .figc {color:#ffffff;}#jtg-42045 .modula-item .modula-item-content { transform: scale(1) }#jtg-42045 .modula-items .figc p.description { font-size:14px; }#jtg-42045 .modula-items .figc p.description { color:#ffffff;}#jtg-42045.modula-gallery .modula-item > a, #jtg-42045.modula-gallery .modula-item, #jtg-42045.modula-gallery .modula-item-content > a:not(.modula-no-follow) { cursor:zoom-in; } #jtg-42045.modula-gallery .modula-item-content .modula-no-follow { cursor: default; } @media screen and (max-width:480px){#jtg-42045 .modula-item .figc .jtg-title {  font-size: 12px; }#jtg-42045 .modula-items .figc p.description { color:#ffffff;font-size:10px; }}<\/style>\n<!-- Gallery Container -->\n<div  id=\"jtg-42045\" class=\"modula modula-gallery modula-custom-grid\" data-config=\"{&quot;height&quot;:0,&quot;tabletHeight&quot;:0,&quot;mobileHeight&quot;:0,&quot;desktopHeight&quot;:0,&quot;enableTwitter&quot;:false,&quot;enableWhatsapp&quot;:false,&quot;enableFacebook&quot;:false,&quot;enablePinterest&quot;:false,&quot;enableLinkedin&quot;:false,&quot;enableEmail&quot;:false,&quot;randomFactor&quot;:0,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;custom-grid&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:12,&quot;gutter&quot;:10,&quot;mobileGutter&quot;:10,&quot;tabletGutter&quot;:10,&quot;desktopGutter&quot;:10,&quot;enableResponsive&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;tabletColumns&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;mobileColumns&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;lazyLoad&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;lightboxOpts&quot;:{&quot;loop&quot;:false,&quot;arrows&quot;:true,&quot;toolbar&quot;:true,&quot;keyboard&quot;:true,&quot;wheel&quot;:false,&quot;buttons&quot;:[&quot;close&quot;],&quot;hash&quot;:false,&quot;lang&quot;:&quot;en&quot;,&quot;touch&quot;:false,&quot;protect&quot;:false,&quot;i18n&quot;:{&quot;en&quot;:{&quot;CLOSE&quot;:&quot;Close&quot;,&quot;NEXT&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,&quot;PREV&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,&quot;Error&quot;:&quot;The requested content cannot be loaded.

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&#8217;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&#8217;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. The biggest gap is honest communication.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>James Simpson said:<\/strong> <em>\u201cBasement projects are the poster child for the rest of construction industry. Geotechnical engineering is rooted in translating theoretical analysis into practical implementation in order to achieve sustainable solutions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>What else can we improve?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>James Cox said:<\/strong> <em>\u201cClients probably don&#8217;t realise all the potential methods in basement construction. That means we all need to demonstrate understanding and knowledge, working with specialist contractors, to show where improved methods and sequencing can change the outcome. Doing so can dramatically reduce risk and complexity.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Interested to work with Conquip in the pre-construction phase of projects?

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&#8217;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.

include:<\/h2>\n<p><strong>1. Designated harness attachment points for every occupant:<\/strong> Each operative now has an individual harness attachment point, providing a clear and secure connection location when working at height.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. 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&#8217;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&#8217;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.

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&#8217; 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=\"{&quot;height&quot;:0,&quot;tabletHeight&quot;:0,&quot;mobileHeight&quot;:0,&quot;desktopHeight&quot;:0,&quot;enableTwitter&quot;:false,&quot;enableWhatsapp&quot;:false,&quot;enableFacebook&quot;:false,&quot;enablePinterest&quot;:false,&quot;enableLinkedin&quot;:false,&quot;enableEmail&quot;:false,&quot;randomFactor&quot;:0,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;custom-grid&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:12,&quot;gutter&quot;:10,&quot;mobileGutter&quot;:10,&quot;tabletGutter&quot;:10,&quot;desktopGutter&quot;:10,&quot;enableResponsive&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;tabletColumns&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;mobileColumns&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;lazyLoad&quot;:&quot;1&quot;,&quot;lightboxOpts&quot;:{&quot;loop&quot;:false,&quot;arrows&quot;:true,&quot;toolbar&quot;:true,&quot;keyboard&quot;:true,&quot;wheel&quot;:false,&quot;buttons&quot;:[&quot;close&quot;],&quot;hash&quot;:false,&quot;lang&quot;:&quot;en&quot;,&quot;touch&quot;:false,&quot;protect&quot;:false,&quot;i18n&quot;:{&quot;en&quot;:{&quot;CLOSE&quot;:&quot;Close&quot;,&quot;NEXT&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,&quot;PREV&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,&quot;Error&quot;:&quot;The requested content cannot be loaded.
