Linkspan recovery

NMS were contracted to provide a safe and efficient solution to recover an estimated 150t linkspan ramp that had suffered hydraulic failure and collapsed on one side. The location meant that there were significant restrictions placed on NMS with regard to ground loadings and also what type of machines could be used.

NMS utilised a strand jack solution using known strong points to take the ramp weight so as not to exceed any of the weight limits placed by the engineers with regard to equipment that could be used.

By utilising the strand jacks the linkspan was recovered and secured safely, within schedule and budget while not overstressing any of the surrounding quayside.

NMS are able to provide bespoke solutions to your project needs often resulting in quicker, safer and more cost efficient solutions than those traditionally offered.
