Mabey Hire Contracts

Successful completion of any contract requires co-operation and a desire to succeed from all parties.

Our mission is to bring the benefit of our market leading products together with our experienced engineers and installation capability to contractors teams to offer safe, economic and least intrusive temporary works solutions, delivered on time and on budget. Our engineering team has many years of construction experience backed with continuous training to ensure that the highest levels of qualification and expertise are maintained.

We employ site management staff and our own installation crews who work closely with the engineers and our clients to advise, plan and execute works on site in a safe, timely manner with due regard to the needs of others

working around us.

Structure and approach

Our product range is continually being

developed to match and exceed the

requirements of the ever-changing

construction industry; development is

carried out in house and is driven by

our clients requirements.

By discussing requirements with our clients and applying the expertise in our engineering and construction teams we produce innovative solutions to a wide range of temporary works requirements throughout the construction industry and beyond. Clients can rest assured that bespoke and potentially contract-winning solutions, programming and pricing

discussed at tender stage will remain confidential. We work continuously on Highways Agency and Network Rail projects and have extensive experience with their respective approval procedures offering our clients peace of mind when programmes are tight.

Mabey Hire continually develops and trains staff to bring the best possible level of service to our clients. We have 100% CSCS certification for staff visiting or based on site.

We are Link-Up registered and have in-house PTS trained staff for rail related work. All site management staff are trained as Appointed Persons for lifting operations and qualified First Aiders and have extensive training and experience in site management. Our in house installation teams hold all relevant CPCS and PASMA cards and are trained to install BarrierGuard 800 on the motorway and trunk road network.

This level of training reinforces our commitment to providing excellence of service throughout the company and to being the supplier of choice for our clients.

Heavy shoring

The Mabey Group has long been the market leader for the temporary support of heavy loads.

We offer the UK’s widest range of heavy shoring products including Superprop with a 240Te per column capacity and MAT125 that has recently been re-engineered using high-grade steels to improve the capacity to 125Te per column.

The addition of Superprop with a capacity of 240Te per column has created the most comprehensive range of heavy shoring equipment available in the UK.

With the addition of Mass 50 and Mass 25, both of which can be configured into towers, frames or trusses, our range of products is now more capable than ever of dealing with the requirements of modern construction techniques particularly in the repair and refurbishment of existing buildings and civil structures.

Bridge jacking and monitoring

Mabey Hire is the established market leader in the design, supply and execution of bridge propping, jacking and monitoring schemes.

Our capability in this field is based on highly developed modular shoring and monitoring systems combined with our specialist engineers and site teams, a fusion that remains unrivalled in the UK.

We work extensively on Highways Agency and Network Rail projects throughout the UK under both the Area Maintenance schemes and on tendered repair works. Mabey Hire provides emergency cover for bridge strikes throughout the UK and have attended many incidents providing safe rapid solutions in emergency situations.

Mabey Hire operates a comprehensive stock of hydraulic jacks from 10 to 300 tonne capacity both single and double acting and spring return including the in house designed Hymat jack. Our range of jacks is supported by an extensive range of ancillary hydraulic, and electronic equipment including multi outlet split flow pumps, fully synchronised computer controlled lift management systems and centralised electronic distance measuring. Our propping products provide load capacities from 25 to 400 tonnes with Superprop and Mat 125 being market leaders in the UK and Scandinavian bridge propping and jacking markets. Our Mass 50 and Mass 25 lighter duty systems extend our range to ensure that we can produce safe, cost-effective solutions to a wide range of requirements.

• Heavy shoring and jacking

• Computerised lifting systems

• Bridge sliding and positioning

• Bearing shelf jacking

• Emergency response services

• Electronic movement monitoring

Falsework

We have been at the forefront of falsework technology for many years. From advancing girder systems for multispan viaduct construction to parapet cantilever replacement works the pre-engineered and modular principle of our products ensure that our falsework solutions are cost-effective and meet with the most stringent performance criteria. Combining high strength with versatility, the Universal and Compact Panel systems of girders and towers are unrivalled in spanning falsework applications and we are proud to have been associated with some of the most prestigious bridge projects in the UK, Europe and Scandinavia.

Mabey Hires’ MU girders versatility is further demonstrated by their use as service support trusses carrying existing services without excessive deflection during bridge replacements.

Where spanning support is not required we offer Kwikstage for bridge deck or building construction. Our experienced site teams ensure that these often complex falsework structures

are built safely and to programme.

Areas of specialisation

• Spanning falsework

• Overslung and underslung parapet support

• Heavy and high level shoring

Parapet replacement

Mabey Hires’ versatile System 160, Mass 25 and Mass 50 systems are used throughout the UK to provide combined crash deck, access and falsework support structures for parapet replacement and strengthening projects.

We have developed encapsulation systems from our versatile product range that provide combined access, crash deck and falsework within a single structure. These systems can be safely rolled into position over live road or rail reducing costly positions and avoiding disruption to the traveling public.

Over slung, under slung and cantilevered schemes are also possible using our versatile product range. For the construction of new bridges we offer the Mabey parapet system. This system has been engineered to be installed and removed from the bridge deck avoiding the costly provision of access below.

Façade restraint, propping and needling

The restraint of existing façades has become a major feature of many city centre construction projects as the pressure to maintain areas of historic importance grows.

Our Building Refurbishment section deals exclusively with the support of existing structures whilst under repair, alteration or re-building. Using our System 160, Mass 25 and Mass 50 shoring systems designed specifically with this market in mind, our engineers and installation teams work closely with clients to produce cost effective solutions.

Often involved during the planning and programming stage of contracts, our experienced engineers are often able to provide innovative solutions that can simplify construction in restricted city sites potentially reducing program time and cost.

• Products designed specifically for refurbishment market

• Equipment sized for erection by hand within existing structures

• Services range from full façade retention packages to smaller hire only propping and needling applications

The project portfolio of Mabey Hire includes buildings of historical and aesthetic importance throughout the cities of the UK with applications varying from basic dead shoring and needling to internal plan bracing and internal and external vertical cantilever façade restraint.

Our specialist project engineering and installation teams have a wealth of experience in the design and erection of temporary structures to support listed buildings in sensitive city centre environments. Our engineers will be pleased to assist with a specific requirement at any stage of the project whether with budget costs and outline solutions at planning stage or advice on design and detailing with our products.

Areas of specialisation

The Mabey QuickBridge is a modular, all-steel system engineered to provide an ‘off the shelf’ solution to your bridging requirements. Available in both road and footbridge formats, QuickBridges can be used for vehicular or pedestrian traffic on sites or on public highways, for temporary and permanent applications.

The road units are based on a standard module width of 1.75 metres, the units are supplied in a variety of lengths from 6 to 20 metres and are available in either Flat-Top or Roll-Over formats to suit various applications. The units can be lifted directly from the delivery vehicle onto pre prepared foundations minimising installation time and labour requirements.

Quickbridge

• Suitable for highway or site traffic

• Any carriageway width based

on 1.75m module

• Single or multispan applications

• Parapet, kerbs and anti-skid

surface available

Road units

The QuickBridge system’s versatility is demonstrated by the variety of regular applications.

Single or multi-span bridges accommodating one, two or more traffic lanes can be constructed from standard components combined with one of our tower systems should intermediate supports be required.

Rollover units are in use throughout the UK as over bridges protecting under strength structures and avoiding the imposition of weight limits, lane restrictions or diversions. QuickBridges

Footbridge units

The most recent addition to the QuickBridge range is the footbridge unit.

The footbridge is delivered to site complete with anti-skid surfacing, bearings and its unique hinged handrails. The units can be lifted into position directly for the delivery vehicle onto pre-prepared foundations. The hinged handrails are then rotated into position from the deck and the footbridge is complete. Variable height towers together with stair and landing units constructed from standard items are available to complete the system.

Our panel bridge systems offer a unique combination of span configuration, deck widths and load capacities making them suitable for road diversions, site access, haul roads and pedestrian use.

Bridges can normally be supplied direct from stock complete with highway or heavy-duty contractor’s decks, anti-skid surfacing, parapets, kerbs and walkways as required.

Mabey panel bridges are regularly provided during bridge strengthening or replacement works to minimise disruption to the public avoiding lengthy, unpopular diversions and to speed contractors programme times by removing traffic from the work area completely.

Panel bridging

Our Bridging systems provide a unique

combination of span configuration, deck

widths and load capacity offering:

• Single spans up to 80m

• Single lane, extra wide and two

lane carriageway widths

• Highway parapet system

• Erection by launch or lift in methods

• Anti-skid or durbar deck finishes

• Structures for highway, site

Mabey panel bridging systems can be delivered to site in component form allowing the construction of major structures in areas with restricted access. The bridging systems are assembled quickly and safely using a small crane. Final positioning of the structure can be carried out using a variety of techniques to suit individual situations including cantilever launch from one side pushing the bridge out on rollers and landing on the far bank or by building a skeletal structure and lifting into position. Our experienced bridge engineers will be pleased to advise on the options for a particular use.

Road bridges can be designed to current Highways Agency loading for use throughout the road network for applications ranging from motorways and trunk roads to minor rural lanes. The availability and speed of construction of Mabey Panel Bridges enables us to provide rapid over bridge or diversion routes in emergency situations after a bridge strike incident or structural fault is identified on the road network.
