Battersea contract for Alimak subsidiary

The CoxGomyl subsidiary of hoist and mastclimber manufacturer Alimak has signed a £1.9 million contract with London's Battersea Power Station for permanent maintenance platforms.

The former power plant was completely shut down in 1983, but it is being redeveloped in eight phases. For Phase Two, as with the first phase, Alimak subsidiary CoxGomyl will be responsible for the contract. See Alimak acquires Facade Access.

The second phase solution includes several short reach, roof mounted Building Maintenance Units (BMU), as well as internal gantry and monorail systems and includes full service and maintenance support. Installation will begin towards the end of this year and is due for completion by the start of 2020.

The mixed use development on the south bank of the Thames will be home to Apple’s new London Campus along with 253 new homes and a six acre park.

Alimka chief executive Tormod Gunleiksrud said: “We are very pleased to be working for the second time on Battersea Power Station with Battersea Phase Two Development Company and with their construction Manager Mace, with whom we have a long and successful history of projects. CoxGomyl UK installed the BMU systems on Phase One of the development and were again the preferred bidder for custom solutions designed to support reliable, safe and efficient access to complex structures. With our deep knowledge and experience as global market leader in the BMU segment, we could once again meet the high performance criteria required by the customer.”
