Barangaroo, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia 12

Consep partnered with Lendlease in the construction of one of Sydney’s largest ever projects. Over a 12-month design period, the Consep Hoist was tailored to incorporate all of Lendlease’s project-specific requirements including: Live deck and day zero access, increased payload, variable Consep Hoist car width, and extended travel. In early 2014, four Consep Hoists were installed on the lower levels of Tower 2, the first of three towers with a planned final height of 43 storeys. Within a week of commissioning, construction had hit its stride and the benefits of the Consep Hoist quickly became evident.

The success of the first four Consep Hoists was followed later in the year by the installation of an additional four Consep Hoists for construction of the 39 storey Tower 3. In 2015 another four Consep Hoists were installed for construction of the 51 storey Tower 1. In total, twelve Consep Hoists contributed to the development of the Barangaroo South project, providing safe and efficient transport of not only formwork materials but also materials for other building services.

Manhattan, New York City, New York, USA

Collavino Construction was awarded the concreting contract for the construction of 1WTC, the largest of the five buildings to be built on the World Trade Centre site in Manhattan, New York. The building, also known as the Freedom Tower, would become the tallest building in the Western hemisphere and in the top 6 tallest buildings in the world. In planning the construction, Collavino Construction identified Consep’s existing hoist as a tool they could potentially utilize for materials transport to ensure safety on the site and reduce costs on this very high-profile project.

Consep tackled the challenge head on, developing the new Consep Hoist to meet the unique requirements of 1WTC, including operation on a 3.5-degree inclined building face, increased payload to 2,000kg (4,400lbs), extended hoist travel to service 7 levels, and other specific requirements of the North American market. 1WTC officially opened in November 2014 and now stands as testament to the versatility of the Consep Hoist in the construction of iconic structures.

Wentworth Point, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Consep provided three latest generation Model CH200 Consep Hoists for the Wentworth Point Marinas development and delivered end-to-end support and services for the project’s duration. The Consep Hoists were kept busy servicing the 3 towers involved and provided safe, efficient and reliable movement of materials with an impressive 100% availability.

Consep’s inhouse engineering team was involved in interfacing with perimeter screening and certification of all equipment and work whilst our dedicated on-site crew completed the installation, climbing, and decommissioning of the hoists. The result: a streamlined process for the client with the Consep Hoists servicing all the way to the roof level of Blocks C (28 floors), E1 (28 floors), and E3 (21 floors), whilst ensuring consistent cycling of materials throughout the project.

Chippendale, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia

Consep provided two of its latest generation Consep Hoists for the Duo Central Park project servicing both the Block 1 and Block 4N towers. This project had a unique engineering challenge as the client required the Consep Hoist on Block 4N be placed in a penetration within the building. Consep met and exceeded the client’s requirements, providing a single internal Consep Hoist with front and rear access to service two concrete pours, while maintaining live deck access and crane landing capabilities.

The Consep team ensured that penetrations could be formed and closed as soon as Consep Hoist climbs were completed, ensuring following trades could commence fit out. The Block 1 Consep Hoist was mounted more conventionally on the external slab edge and provided continuous availability for the duration of the project, even under adverse weather conditions.
