Innovative Vertical Construction: The Omana North Apartments Project

At George Grant Engineering Ltd. (GGE), innovation drives our approach to complex engineering challenges. The Omana North Apartments project showcases our ability to think outside the box and develop creative solutions for demanding construction environments.

Building a 10-story apartment complex posed significant logistical challenges, particularly due to the limited time available with the tower crane. To overcome this, our team designed and constructed a custom base frame that allowed us to utilize a mini crawler ‘spider crane’ for the majority of the steel installation. This innovative solution enabled us to transfer the weight of the crane into the primary floor beams, ensuring the project was completed efficiently and on schedule.

Project Overview:

• Scope: Design and construction of custom base frame, steel installation for 10-story building

• Challenges: Limited tower crane availability

• Solution: Utilization of a mini crawler ‘spider crane’ with a custom base frame for efficient steel installation
