Steel Sheet Piling Delivery

Nothing is easy on the Lichfield Canal. Watch as a large crane is needed just to deliver some steel sheet piling.

I always smile when I see the sheet piles used for our canals … compared to how we fortify the Railway … particularly where I have been working on the GSM lines around Corby and Kettering … Joking aside, I have great admiration for what you guys are doing… the dedication of everyone involved and the great leaps you’re making in getting this project finished. Keep up the good work and more importantly, stay safe. Off loading from an HGV is not without its complication. The edge protection speaks volumes … a necessary requirement for offloads … brilliant stuff …

The driver said that the company he works for is from Rugeley, I am watching this sitting on my boat moored at Rugeley near bridge 66.

Note to the people who organised this activity. They should have hired one lorry to pick up the sheet piling with a long reach Hiab, to transport the piles from the yard to site and off load it with a trained banks man. It looked as though they had to get in another banksman at the top while the operator remained at the bottom because there was no line of sight between the two points, even though there was a 28 page RAMS in place.

@user-il3nn1vl4w the supplier didn't have anything with a long enough reach, which is why we had to hire in the crane. The crane team was made up of two operators, with our volunteers helping when it was safe to do so, subject to the crane team's RAMS.
