An Enerpak 1100SBL gantry lifting system hoisted the two parts of the cyclotron over the building and down into a 7m deep bunker with 4m thick walls. Heavy Lifting and Handling said that lowering the device into the bunker was a challenge as the reach of the gantry system was also 7m and therefore required extreme precision. The building up of rails on a 7m height with a heavy modular lifting frame also presented difficulties.
The assembly of the gantry system took three days, whilst the lifting of the cyclotron took two, and demobilisation a further three days.
