The importance of a Pre-Project Delivery Assessment
The Study Inn site in the heart of historic Cambridge has delivery restrictions that would make the most experienced of site managers wince: four hours restricted access, 7.5 tonne weight restriction, single sided offload only.
Deliveries went smoothly from the start because of the thorough preparation done by SIG Sheffield and our logistics provider, Wincanton. As a result of their Pre-Project Delivery Assessment (PPDA), a bespoke plan was put into place, which included:
• Specialist single-sided 16 tonne moffett hired for the project
• Boards split into one tonne pallets to accommodate a single hoist on site
• 30 minutes notice given by the driver on vehicle arrival
The project – an 345-bedroom student accommodation block – is progressing without any delivery problems. If you’d like to know more about a Pre-Project Delivery Assessment, please contact us at orderline@siniat.co.uk
