Civil

Population growth, shifting lifestyles, new technologies and concern for the environment, call for new solutions in civil construction in the 21st century. The need for new facilities to support these major changes, alongside on-going urban renewal in the big cities, generates many challenges. Civil construction projects often need to take place swiftly and safely, with minimum disruption to communities.

The construction of everything from office blocks and homes through to stadiums and other public venues is being revolutionized by modular construction techniques. Building entire structures off-site, then moving the structures onto their foundations, brings multiple efficiency and safety benefits. Meanwhile large and heavy components including roofs and structural elements can now be built safely and efficiently at ground level and then lifted into place. Kara heavy lifting and engineering expertise means we are ideally placed to support civil construction contractors with these type of complex operations.

Typical projects within this sector include:

• Transport and lifting of prefabricated elements for highways, bridges;
• Construction support services for buildings, stadiums and other utility works;
• Transport, lifting and assembly of heavy ship parts and container cranes.
