ALIMATS® at Euston Station – our MEWP tracking and operating solution for Premier Modular

The enquiry for this Euston Station project came in on the Tuesday, we’d provided a solution by Wednesday and received the order on Friday – all within one week.

This included completing a comprehensive Pre-Qualification Questionnaire (PQQ). Our own team installed the system.

Our drawing below, shows how our ALIMATS® extra-long modules are set-up to accommodate three machines with varying trackwidths. The reason the modules are at an angle is to ensure load spread occurs across the interlock, as it spreads perpendicular to the direction of travel. This will also mitigate any rippling that could occur if the system was installed straight – if the system is rippling then the tracking load is not being spread.

For the operating loads which are significantly higher than tracking loads we introduced an additional layer, so the system works as outrigger mats. The temporary works design required a minimum 2.01m² and we provided a top layer of modules which provided 2.52m² once installed. This circa 75m track is made up using our 1740mm, 3480mm and 2175mm modules, in all 354 interlocking mats – plus, 164 Ethafoam sheets. Download our Euston Station drawing here.
