Ground protection slabs as an access road and parking space for a mobile crane

How can a container village be erected on a greenfield site to speed up school refurbishment? With a mobile crane and floor protection plates from Securatek. The mobile crane is needed to unload and position the school containers or office containers. Floor protection plates are usually needed when using a mobile crane on soft or sensitive ground, as in this reference. However, there are other reasons why these plates are necessary. Here are the most important ones:

• Load distribution
  Mobile cranes are heavy machines that can carry significant weight loads when fully loaded. Without load-distributing floor protection plates, the weight of the crane and the loaded load would be concentrated on a relatively small area of the floor, resulting in high floor stress. This can cause the floor to give way or be damaged. Load-distributing floor protection plates distribute the weight evenly over a larger area to protect the floor.
  
  
• Stability
  A mobile crane must be stable and secure during operation to ensure the safety of workers and the stability of the loaded load. Load-distributing floor protection plates help provide an even and stable base for the crane, especially on uneven or soft terrain.
  
  
• Soil Protection
  Sensitive soils such as turf, asphalt, pavers or other surfaces can be damaged by the weight and pressure of the crane. Ground protection plates prevent damage to the surface and maintain the condition of the ground.
  
  
• Regulations & Safety
  Many countries and regions have regulations and safety standards that require the use of load-distributing soil protection plates for mobile cranes to ensure that the work is performed in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.
  
  

Because school operations had to continue during the renovation project, there was only a short window of time to place the container village. Temporary infrastructure such as container villages is often used when building renovation or restoration work is being done because it offers a number of benefits:

• Flexibility
  Container villages are extremely flexible and can be adapted and expanded as needed. This is particularly useful when requirements change as the project progresses.
  
  
• Cost Efficiency
  Container villages are typically more cost effective than constructing temporary buildings. They require fewer resources and are often less expensive.
  
  
• Accommodations
  Container villages can serve not only as classrooms for schools, but also as offices, shelters, sanitation, storage, and other facilities. This ensures that necessary resources and accommodations are available on site.
  
  
• Time Savings
  The use of container villages allows for secure housing in parallel with the renovation project, remodeling or construction, reducing the overall duration of the project.
