Loading bay at i54 Wolverhampton

Client: Vinci Construction for Jaguar Land Rover i54 Wolverhampton

Area: Spine roof

Requirement: Loading bay built off Spine roof

A 5m x 6m on plan loading platform was required to be built on the spine roof to service the main roof area at JLR. The first problem we encountered was the roof being 12m high with a 3m high parapet wall thus prevented materials being loaded onto the roof by fork lift. VCUK provided the team with a crane to load the required materials enabling the work to commence. The loading bay was built in a grid on plan 1m x 1m creating a 10KN/m² safe working load. An Airwright Midland bespoke loading bay gate was used, allowing materials to be loaded onto the working platform from ground level by forklift.
