Raimondi Middle East deployed seven cranes for the construction of Nest, an integrated student complex located at the Aljada megaproject in Sharjah, UAE. Developed by Arada, Aljada is one of the largest and most complex jobsites in the region, with a number of different residential, retail, hospitality, entertainment, commercial, education and healthcare components.
Erected earlier in the year, the MRT294s 16tn, are all freestanding at heights ranging from 37m to 53.1m with jib lengths ranging between 46m and 50m. “The MRT294 flattop remains one of the bestselling models in the region due to its maximum lifting capacity of 16tn and its durability in challenging climate conditions of extreme heat,” said Wael Hasan, Commercial Director, Raimondi Middle East. The two ER240 hammerhead cranes, chosen for the model’s 14tn maximum lifting capacity, are both at work with 50m jib and height under the hook (HUH) of 35.4m and 37m respectively
“Due to the number of cranes involved in the project, Raimondi Middle East carefully studied the positioning and the erection procedures of each machine. In addition, to ensure excellent after-sales service, our technical department continues to support Arada jobsites with regular maintenance and periodic checkups,” said Hasan. “We are delighted to play a key role in the construction of Sharjah’s new mega-city. Currently, we have 24 Raimondi tower cranes actively at work on Arada’s jobsites.”
