FK Lowry Piling's Contract Engineer Seamus Keane, said: "The Scheme is a high profile project in the University Area of the City. The Site was very restricted, being bound by the busy Malone Road to the West and Queen's University, Belfast to the East. Due to the close proximity of Laboratories, Lecture Theatres and Offices, noise and vibration were also major issues on the project. We therefore employed one of our smaller Piling rigs in the Fleet, the Soilmec CM-50 to mitigate these potential risks. This Piling project was yet another opportunity for us to demonstrate our capability of working Safely and efficiently in small, tight city centre locations."
