Dudley Zoo Solar Panels: Contract Lift Overcomes Access Challenges

WERNICK Power required a specialist lifting partner for the installation of solar panels at Dudley Zoo. The project demanded precise planning and execution due to challenging site access, strict short timescales, and sensitivity to the environment within the zoo. This required a comprehensive contract lift service to ensure zero disruption.

The primary challenges revolved around site logistics and protection. Restricted access to the specific installation areas within the zoo grounds complicated plant and equipment placement. Furthermore, the work was bound by exceptionally short timescales to minimise potential disruption to the zoo's operations and visitors.

The solution provided was a full contract lift, encompassing all necessary plant, personnel, documentation and fully insured. Expert preparation allowed for all crucial surveys and RAMS to be prepared and approved within the restricted timeframes, addressing the urgent nature of the project. Our team overcame the complex access and environmental challenges, leading to the efficient, ahead-of-schedule completion of works without incident or issue, ensuring a highly satisfied customer.

By providing a full contract lift, all works were completed ahead of schedule without incident or issue. All necessary documentation, including site surveys and RAMS (Risk Assessments and Method Statements), was completed within the restricted timeframes, ensuring compliance and a happy customer.
