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

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.
