Access has completed remedial safety work on the famous Barclay Curle Titan
Crane – one of only 4 Titan Crane’s left on the River Clyde.
The Grade A
listed Monument, which once had been at the very heart of shipbuilding in
Glasgow, had been left untouched for years and as a result parts of the
magnificent structure had become unstable.
Shoreland
Access successfully removed parts of the decayed steel and utilising both Rope
Access and NDT made her safe again.
The hope one
day is that the crane will receive funding from Lottery Heritage to restore her
to her former glory.
Shoreland
Access Director, Neil Cox, says “This job was a little bit extra special for
us, given the site was operated by Swan Hunter for years, and Swan Hunter are
engrained as part of our heritage on our native Tyneside”.
