Construction World October 2016

The new Potain crane is tasked with handling

the large loads for the structural aspects of the

building, including the extensive formwork.

The company expects a similar mindset from

all partners in its critical supply chain to help

it adhere to its production targets. According

to Samuel, SA French continues to meet

these requirements.

Samuel is also impressed by the compe-

tence of SA French’s technicians who assisted

in the swift transportation of the crane to site

and its prompt erection.

By July, M&D Construction had

completed as much as 30% of the project,

and Samuel is satisfied by the progress made

by his team. He is also extremely proud of the

opportunities these projects have created for

members of the larger Kimberley community.

In line with the requirements of its client,

M&D Construction will have trained about

150 local people in general building trades by

the time it completes its framework contract;

noteworthy on a structure that is being built

to produce the skills needed for the future.

M&D Construction has a fleet of five Potain cranes, two of which have been deployed to the

construction site.

The off-shutter external and internal finish inside the structure will make it the central focus on the

university campus.
