Falconry Used for Pest Control
We are refurbishing the former Royal Mail Building in Liverpool city centre for Liverpool John Moores University. The building has been vacant for 5 years, and during this time has had seagulls nesting on the roof. Our scope of works includes roof works, and we therefore needed to prevent any nesting during the nesting season due to seagulls becoming very...
Formfab Formwork Box
Traditionally pile cap formworks are constructed using plywood, individual steel pans, propping and dywidag bars, with handrails post installed by working at height with harnesses. On building S9 at the International Quarter London it was decided that a formfab box would be designed and manufactured off site to suit the pile cap size. This pre-fabricated steel form was purpose made...
3D Chirp Survey to Scan for Potential Unexploded Ordnance
This contractor has been systematically clearing the dock of all potential UXO (unexploded ordnance) by diving and investigating targets which have been identified as a potential UXO from a detailed 3D surface scan to ensure any operation that takes place in the dock over the coming years has no risk of accidently dislodging/damaging/setting off a potential ordinate. A 3D Chirp survey...
Perimeter Access Buggy
There has been a big effort in planning how to safely access the perimeter of the roof to allow façade installation to continue. After multiple workshops/design development, a purpose developed ‘buggy’ was bought to site. The temporary works approved buggy, fits on the permanent BMU track and allows two operatives to work on the building perimeter within a fully handrailed...
Dry Lining Conveyor System
As a new way of transporting dry lining boards across site, a temporary works approved conveyor system was designed. It has rollers across the length of it, and spans from hoist run offs all the way to the work areas, across the 60cm high steel beams that are every 9m throughout site. This allows dry lining workers to slide the...
Vertical Meadow – Green Wall on Hoarding
In conjunction with the estate, the contractor has had a green wall installed on a section of the hoarding. Unlike other green walls this is a very simple design but with smart features, it can be used both for permanent and temporary applications. The wall is installed as a dry matt fixed to the hoarding which then grows once water...
Cutting Unistrut without a Grinder
On this product they have been utilising a Ridgid Strutslayr tool to cut unistrut that removes sparks, sharp edges and reduces noise and HAVs for the operatives. The tool presses through the unistrut rather than cutting and has been utilised within the riser works where trades are required to carry out close co-ordination to complete there works. This project has...
Adjustable Vacuum Lifter for Glazing Install
This contractor has developed a vacuum lifter that can be adjusted to fit onto unconventional shaped glazing panels. This adjustment allows the suckers to be spread evenly over the panels improving the safety and quality of the lift. The vacuum lifter is fully certified and comes with an attachable custom secondary safety device (straps) incase the lifter fails. The vacuum...
Going Above and Beyond for the Community
On this project Lendlease has partnered with Ark Academies in Southwark to help develop students’ skills in two local schools. The schools; Ark Walworth and Ark Globe Academies, have been benefiting from the Professional Pathways programme – a study programme for students aged 16 to 18 delivered in the form of work related sessions by Lendlease volunteers. Working with the...
Production of Video RAMS for High Risk Activities
Video RAMS allow the workforce to better understand the safe methods of working. It is known that people are have different ways of effectively taking in information and videos can be more effective than written or oral explanations. When applying the translated narrative, the workers are more likely to fully understand. This is a relatively low cost and rapid method...
Moat Vertical Exclusion Zone System
On IQL S9 we have implemented a moat exclusion zone system of Heras fence ‘Zones’. Each zone, installed around the perimeter of the building, is 5x5m with a lockable gate. To access a zone the contractor has to fill out a permit, detailing the works being carried out, which is then signed off by Lendlease allowing entry. When a zone...
Visualite Panels in Basement Accommodation
What it is A light up panel fixed to the wall which incorporates our own images and uses a cutting edge LED light source to create a healthier and better ambience. It not only provides light to the office space but also creates an illusion of a greater space, improving the mental wellbeing of the workers in the office. Why...
Interactive Incident and Near Miss Animations
What it is Interactive video detailing the incident/ near miss that occurred, why it happened, and the key lessons learnt. This video is produced following a LL critical incident (Can be a near miss rather than LTI or RIDDOR). The video is distributed to other LL sites and to the trades to ensure the same mistakes are not made again....
DNA – Drop Nothing at All
Project DNA (Drop Nothing at All) is the holistic approach to preventing things falling on this project. It is predominately lead using technology to create a culture that they will not accept anything falling. DNA includes 35,712 individual nuts, washers, bolts, and brackets that could be dropped and planning how not to drop them through each strategy using BIM. They...
Crane Hook Manipulator
As a result of site constraints with a limited distance to the NWR fence, combined with their complicated façade installation process, they needed a specialist device for installing some of their façade components. They used ‘Alice’ – their hydraulic remote controlled crane hook attachment. This prevents the number of operatives having to work around a suspended load and can turn...
