KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 17 -- BrandSafway was recently awarded the 2019 Access Project of the Year – Mast Climbing Work Platforms, Transport Platforms and Hoists at the Access, Lift & Handlers (ALH) Conference in San Diego, California.
ALH awards are designed to celebrate the best of North America’s access and rental industry.
The company won for its unique work platform and weather barrier solution for the recent US$100 million renovation of Seattle’s iconic Space Needle. (US$1 = RM4.19)
“The circular suspended access system, installed by BrandSafway for the renovation of Seattle’s Space Needle, was the highest, most weather protected suspended platform ever constructed,” one of the award judges commented.
“BrandSafway had no injuries, no recordable incidents and no dropped objects. That is fabulous, and something BrandSafway and their crew should be very proud of,” said the general contractor for the project, Hoffman Construction, project manager, Bob Vincent.
Key renovation elements included installing 176 tonnes of specialty glass and structural modifications so that the Space Needle could offer a seamless exterior line of sight, including a view of the ground 500-feet below.
“With glass walls, glass barriers, glass benches and even glass floors, visitors can feel like they are floating over the city,” said Space Needle LLC chief marketing officer, Karen Olson.
“The Space Needle has always featured some of the best views of the Pacific Northwest. Now, it offers some of the most thrilling.”
