OUR PRESENT
• Normal construction cost:80% Materials 20% Labour
• Normal SLTA construction costs: 20% Materials 80% Labour
• New working at height regulations
• Solution:For short spans use prefabricated arch deck, deliver to site and place on abutments. Erect handrail on site.
For longer spans, construct on site and lift into place.
• This was first used at the Royal Highland Show & APF 2006
