Supplying and Installing 2 units of 10 ton Electric Overhead Travelling Cranes for building of Proton Therapy Pte Ltd’s new facility

Kienta Engineering Construction Pte Ltd is a contractor for general building, civil engineering, renovations and retrofitting works, which include turnkey services to the building industry as well as design and build projects. It was awarded to design and build for Proton Therapy Pte Ltd’s new facility at Biopolis, in One-North, Buona Vista.

Biopolis is the premier research hub for Biomedical Sciences, hosting leading public and private biomedical research institutes and organisations. It also anchors the development of the entire research and development (R&D) value chain of life sciences. This encompasses basic drug discovery, clinical development and medical technology research.

Due to the use of infra-red technology, the given space had to be renovated and reinforced with special infra-red protection. With that, Jenmon was engaged to provide lifting solutions for the removal of existing slabs and beams within Biopolis’s existing workspace. These beams were located on the first floor, right down to the 2nd level basement. Thus, Kienta Engineering had to rebuild the concrete walls and beams in order to suit this new technology.

Jenmon was given a very tight schedule to install 2 units of 10 ton Electric Overhead Travelling Cranes. Furthermore, they were to be built within the existing confined space, and existing building columns had to be used for its runway structure. Together with Kienta Engineering and our consultant, we managed to use the available live loads of the building to support our crane, as well as the crane structure.

This project shows Jenmon’s adaptation to various circumstances, proactively providing creative solutions for our customers, thus showing our emphasis on one of our Core Values, being solution-driven.
