This job project came with numerous challenges which included a “Fast Track Delivery Schedule” requiring some innovative engineering with an alternative to the provision of scaffolding due to the lack of space for clearance to install the scaffolding. The engineered solution was to build a hanging gantry to install the self supported aluminium structure spanning over 75 meters in length using 10 “ rafters in record time, only 2 months!

The skylight was designed with a mechanically operated internal gantry for ease of maintenance and cleaning as well as windows for opening in the event of a fire for ventilation and extraction of smoke.
