JB Rawcliffe & Sons Ltd has enhanced its experience in technical handling of heavy equipment with the lifting of transformers in central London utilising strand jack technology. With the transformer located 8m beneath a car park, JB Rawcliffe & Sons Ltd were tasked with providing a solution to remove a transformer from its operation position and replace with it a new transformer.
The solution involved the utilisation of JB Rawcliffe & Sons Ltd hydraulic lift system and stand jack technology were the two components were united to produce a unique jacking system with an unlimited lifting capability.
The redundant transformer was lifted from its operating position 8m below ground level and loaded directly to transport in one simple and safe operation. The replacement transformer was placed to its operating position by the same safe and simple operation but in reverse.
All the engineering, planning and sleepless nights were rewarded with a successful project which was completed safely within schedule.
