Marr Contracting (The Men from Marr’s) has partnered with Mirvac as part of an international team including Robert Bird Group and critical infrastructure specialists Kordia Solutions to dismantle the former - TCN-9 TX transmission tower, one of highest and most recognisable structures in Sydney, Australia.

 

World leaders in the design and delivery of heavy lift luffing tower cranes and heavy lifting services, Marr Contracting has more than 90 years’ experience working on large-scale construction projects in Australia and around the world.

 

Their expertise spans the large-scale construction, mining, oil and gas, power, nuclear, major transport infrastructure, technology and marine sectors. 

 

Mirvac is an Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) top 50 company and one of its most innovative property groups.

 

Marr Contracting said the much anticipated major project will start with prepatory works this month and is likely for completion early next year.

 

Managing Director Simon Marr said: "At 233 m, this tower is equal in height to a 77-storey building which posed a number of challenges. Over 12 months working with multiple stakeholders, we designed an approach involving some of our unique equipment and the introduction of guy wires to laterally support the tower crane and allow it to climb to the required height (247metres) to dismantle the tower."

 

Highlighting the importance of working with experts in their respective fields, Toby Long, the General Manager (Residential Development NSW) at Mirvac, said: "We have an industry-leading reputation for upholding the highest standards of safety."

 

"Our design team comprises experts in their field. Partnering with Marr as our craneage experts means we know we are in safe hands," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
