Construction Challenges – New Build, Refurbishment, and Retrofit
Construction, whether it be new build, refurbishment, or retrofit, can often pose unexpected or peculiar access challenges. Whilst structures should be designed and projects planned with buildability in mind, it is not always the case that there is a straightforward, traditional solution.
Architecturally unusual structures, complex areas like factories or industrial facilities with intricate infrastructure, places over water, uneven floors, or just very high locations are where we come into our own.
When access via MEWPs or scaffold is not possible or too expensive, rope access and access platforms are almost always the preferred solution.
Early-Stage Collaboration ensures success
Speaking to CAN at an early stage about your requirements can be helpful for all parties. We can often suggest ways of undertaking work that might not be immediately apparent to others and help find unique solutions to challenges.
We are equally at home working with clients who have a very good idea of how a work task is to be addressed. We work closely with traditional professions and trades to deliver bespoke, safe, high-quality work.
What can we construct and install?
At CAN, we respond to both small and large, very technically complex project requirements, including acting as principal contractor where required. Our project portfolio ranges from projects worth ~£1,000 up to £4m+.
