Sarens Assists In The Construction Of A Residential Apartment In Canada

Sarens has recently participated in the construction of the new Watson Parkway Apartments residential building in Guelph, ON, contributing to the dismantling of one of the tower cranes after its use was completed.

Oxford Builders asked for Sarens assistance in dismantling a tower crane used in the construction of one of the new apartment complexes being built in Guelph, Ontario.

Located at 426 Watson Parkway, one of the city’s main arteries, this development will contribute to the renewal of residential space in the region and, at the same time, to the decarbonisation of buildings driven by the Green Buildings Strategy included in the 2022 federal budget.

For this project, Sarens undertook a major pre-planning study to define precisely where the crane unit used, an LTM1500, should be positioned and that each of the seven loading and unloading operations carried out, to dismantle the tower crane would be carried out in an orderly fashion, without safety risks, and without any impact on traffic in the area.

In total, it took Sarens 10 hours to complete the entire operation, including the move from its Cambridge, Ontario branch to the site, the deployment of the 276’ crane boom and the loading of the crane components, weighing approximately 15T.

According to Luke Goodfellow, Project Manager for Sarens, “This is a momentous time for the construction industry in our country. We are pleased that Sarens can bring over 65 years of international experience to the projects we are involved in, so that they can have a positive impact on our community, both in terms of employment and decarbonisation. We will continue to work to ensure that our involvement also translates into a reduction in the costs associated with our tasks”.
