Raimondis in Muscat
14 August 2018 by Sotiris KanarisAl Akkad National Projects has erected two Raimondi MRT111 topless tower cranes from its existing fleet at a new mixed-use development in Muscat, the Sultanate of Oman.
“The two MRT111s were originally purchased in 2014, and have served Al Akkad extremely well across multiple Gulf worksites over the past four years. To meet this new development’s work height requirements, Al Akkad purchased new additional sections for the cranes,” said Wael Hasan, Middle East commercial manager at Raimondi Cranes.
The MRT111s, at respective freestanding heights of 41.55m and 47.25m including embedded elements, are both fitted with 60m jibs.
Due to the congested project site—creating constraints on where the mobile crane could be positioned—Raimondi and Al Akkad carefully strategised the erections as part of the site planning procedures. Installed over a period of three days, the cranes are expected to be in use for an approximate window of 18-20 months.
