John Sutch Cranes was selected by BAM - one of the UK's leading Tier 1 construction contractors - to carry out a complex lifting operation at the Grade II listed Victoria Building at Blackburn College, Blackburn.
It is the kind of instruction that matters. When a Tier 1 contractor is delivering a high-profile, heritage-sensitive scheme and needs a crane specialist they can rely on, they call John Sutch Cranes.
The brief was demanding. Using a 300-tonne crane with a main boom exceeding 100 metres, the team safely removed scaffolded temporary roof support trusses and spine beams, revealing the fully restored roof of this historic building for the first time. Precise planning, tight coordination with BAM and Allied Scaffolding, and flawless execution in an active educational environment.
No room for error. None taken.
Paul Parry, Sales Director at John Sutch Cranes, said: "Being selected by BAM for a project of this nature is exactly the kind of instruction we want more of. Tier 1 contractors work to the highest standards and they need a crane partner who matches that. We planned this lift meticulously, executed it safely and delivered exactly what BAM needed. That's what we're here for and it's what we'll keep doing."
John Sutch Cranes has the fleet, the experience and the people to operate at the highest level of the UK construction supply chain. For Tier 1 contractors with complex, time-critical or technically demanding lifting requirements, the conversation starts here.
