Armac Group “Clock Off” at Pinderfields Hospital

Over the last twelve months C&D customer Armac Group have been demolishing the former hospital at Pinderfields in Wakefield and have worked progressively through the hospital buildings demolishing and, in some cases, carefully dismantling sections for preservation and reuse on the new development.

When the bulk of the work was complete they were then given the difficult task of carefully lifting the clock tower and storing it for reuse.

Balfour Beatty Construction Limited Pinderfields Joint Venture wanted to preserve the clock for resiting in the new development so quite a lot of lateral thinking was needed to achieve their wishes.

Armac directors Adrian McLean and Noel McLean were involved in the lift with the original concept and lift design by Adrian. The roles of Appointed Person and Lift Supervisor being carried out by Noel.

We have no photographs of the work being carried out but we do have some nice video footage so please take the time to watch the video below.
