Hull Surge Barrier
iMS Access Services specialists in the working at height industry were tasked with removing and replacing components throughout the barrier, although there was an issue, the work was to be carried out 98ft above the ground, many components had to be winched to the working level due to the height.
The barrier is a 215,000 Kg wide gate which is supported between the two concrete towers that house the operating machinery. The Hull Surge Barrier features a travelling ladder access system, installed in 1980 along with the original construction of the barrier itself. |
