Wagenborg: ESTA winner for the sixth year in a row

Last night, during the “ESTA's Users Night 2019”, the ESTA announced the winners in Munich. Wagenborg Nedlift was named the winner in the “Innovation/Development” category with its “OCC The Hague” project. For this project, Wagenborg Nedlift collaborated with Bomecon Construction Equipment to develop an innovative and practical solution.

Installation of iconic columns Education and Culture Complex The Hague

Since 2017, the Cadanz construction consortium has been working hard on the construction of the new Education and Culture Complex (OCC) in the centre of The Hague. Wagenborg Nedlift is carrying out the lifting work for Cadanz and was asked to develop a solution for installing no fewer than 50 special iconic columns in the shape of a tuning fork. Given the thickness and strength of the elements, it was impossible to bring the columns into a vertical position and install them using a regular hoisting operation. Wagenborg Nedlift therefore approached Bomecon Construction Equipment to jointly develop a special hoisting frame to support and reinforce the columns during the hoisting operation. This collaboration resulted in a safe and practical lifting frame, which allowed the columns (varying in size and weight) to be placed exactly as desired.
