Six Raimondi for Paris college

French contractor Cardinal Edifice has taken delivery of six new Raimondi flat top tower cranes for work on the École des mines de Paris – or Mines Paris Tech as it is now known.

The cranes a 16 tonne capacity MRT223, two MRT189, and three MRT243s have been erected to free standing heights ranging from 34 to 52 metres and were delivered and erected by Raimondi’s distributor for France, GP Mat International. Each crane took around 16 hours to erect, including the installation of elevators on the higher units as required by French regulations. All six were erected over a two day period with a team of 10. They will remain on site for you to two years. GP Mat will also take care of the routine service and maintenance of the cranes while they are on site.

GP Mat president Frank Torchard said: “We always works in close collaboration with our clients in order to present the products best suited to their jobsite needs. Our teams of technicians manage the crane erections, and we work to ensure that the best processes are put in place to ensure safety and productivity for each contractor’s respective requirements.”

“It was imperative to have cranes with high lifting capacity on this site due to the heavy prefabricated components. The cranes will be used in the construction of a set of offices over five levels, and will be lifting form panels, concrete, and prefab elements over the duration of the construction process.”
