VERTON IN ACTION
We are unlocking improvements in safety and productivity for our clients lifting operations.
Provision of a remote-controlled tagline used for rigging
The SpinPod has been used at Albert Street’s Lot 1 (main station entrance) site since June 2021. The site is located in the heart of Brisbane city, surrounded by high density commercial and residential towers and busy inner-city streets. The worksite involves excavating 50m down – the deepest undertaken in Brisbane’s history – necessary to house the future station building and access to underground rail platforms. Use of the SpinPod has delivered safety, productivity, program, community and environmental benefits.
Cross River Rail is the first major infrastructure project in Australia to use the Everest SpinPod 7.5.
Cross River Rail integrates Verton’s SpinPods during spoil removal and haulage when mucking out.
Cross River Rail is committed to improving safety and productivity during construction. Both qualities are on display in their impressive construction management on-site in Brisbane, Australia. Not only have they increased cycle times mucking out during their 24-hour operations, but they also keep workers clear from the drop zone by using Verton’s remote-controlled load orientation equipment.
Cross River Rail is a new 10.2 kilometre rail line from Dutton Park to Bowen Hills, which includes 5.9 kilometres of twin tunnels under the Brisbane River and CBD. The project will unlock a bottleneck at the core of our transport network and it will transform the way we travel across the whole of South East Queensland. To ensure continued safety and efficiency during construction, Verton is working with Cross River Rail Joint Venture to provide load orientation technology.
Verton is proud to be continuing our successful relationship with Cross River Rail by providing them with our latest innovation in remote-controlled load orientation.
Verton’s SpinPod controls and orientates the spoil container as its being lifted up and down the shaft and between the wall props.
Global Gravity & Verton: Partners For Hands-Free Lifting In Offshore Safety
See the partnership in action, with Verton’s Everest 6 and Global Gravity´s TubeLock® seamlessly integrating to safely handle a stack of offshore pipes during a demonstration at Globe Gravity HQ.
Reducing the number of banksmen previously needed to complete the same lift to only one. Being able to control the loads orientation remotely with the Everest 6 lifting beam. Keeping workers clear of the drop zone and being in contact with the suspended load, through making taglines obsolete. Creating a one lift operation when used with the TubeLock® system. Allowing for storage and running in one, reducing handling by 50%, reducing space by 60% and in 18% less time. The combination of products makes the handling process not only safer but eliminates ineffective and costly process from the industry, increasing revenue.
“The industry needs an innovative and strong solution to optimise workflow offshore in order to create safer and more efficient pipe handling, eliminating expensive downtime – this is it,” - Tom Rasmussen, COO Global Gravity
