Its unique design and complex construction requirements presented a range of challenges, particularly in the installation of its natural stone façade. With heights reaching up to 110 meters and the intricate arrangement of balconies, traditional scaffolding and cranes proved inadequate for the task. Scanclimber’s advanced Mast Climbing Work Platforms (MCWPs) provided the ideal solution for this ambitious project. The Challenge The Y-Tower’s façade called for the precise installation of natural stone, with individual pieces weighing up to 120 kilograms. Adding to the complexity, the building featured irregularly spaced balconies with vertical distances ranging from 3 to 28 meters. Traditional methods, such as scaffolding and cranes, were not only time-consuming but also posed significant logistical challenges. Ensuring accessibility to these varying heights and safely transporting heavy materials to elevated positions required a more innovative approach.

These were specially adapted for the installation of the structures that support the covering fabric under the vault of the Arc de Triomphe. Arc de Triomphe, in full Arc de Triomphe de l’Étoile, is massive triumphal arch in Paris, France, one of the world’s best-known commemorative monuments. The Arc de Triomphe is the symbol of French national identity and took 30 years to build. Source: Arc de Triomphe | History, Location, & Facts | Britannica. "L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped" was a temporary artwork for Paris designed by world-renowned Christo. It was visible for 16 days from September 18. to October 3., 2021. Christos organization realized the project in partnership with the Centre des Monuments Nationaux and coordination with Paris City. The wrapping of Arc de Triomphe included 25,000 square meters of recyclable fabric in silvery blue and 3,000 meters of red rope, and massive support structure works. About Christo In 1961, Christo and Jeanne-Claude began creating works of art in public spaces. One of their projects was to wrap a public building. 1961 Christo rented a small room near the Arc de Triomphe, and the monument attracted him. In 1962, he made a photomontage of the Arc de Triomphe wrapped, seen from the Avenue Foch and, in 1988, a collage. Sixty years later, Christos's dream was finally concretized. Some history of the Arc Arc de Triomphe stands at the centre of the “Place Charles de Gaulle” , the western terminus of the avenue des Champs-Élysées; just over 2 km away, at the eastern terminus, is the Place de la Concorde. Napoleon I commissioned the triumphal arch in 1806—after his great victory at the Battle of Austerlitz (1805)—to celebrate the military achievements of the French armies. The arch, designed by Jean-François-Thérèse Chalgrin, is 50 metres high and 45 metres wide. It sits in a circular plaza from which 12 grand avenues radiate, forming a star, which is why it is also called the Arch of Triumph of the Star. Construction of the arch began in 1806, on August 15, which was Napoleon's birthday. The builders completed the foundation in 1810. At the time of Chalgrin's death in 1811, only a tiny portion of the structure had been completed. Resumption of work was ordered in 1823 by King Louis XVIII. The basic construction of the monument was finished by 1831; contractors completed the job in 1836, during the reign of King Louis-Philippe, who opened it officially on July 29. Arc was wrapped 2021 for one and half months fully funded by Christo Paris Arc de Triomphe wrapped. L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped was entirely funded by the Estate of Christo V. Javacheff through the sale of Christo's preparatory studies, drawings, and collages of the project and scale models, works from the 1950s and 1960s, and original lithographs on other subjects. It received no public funds. The Centre des Monuments Nationaux, the government institution that manages the Arc de Triomphe, was pleased about realizing a project that demonstrates its commitment to contemporary creation and honors one of the most emblematic monuments in Paris and France. In front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Arc de Triomphe, the Eternal Flame will continue to burn throughout the installation, display, and dismantling of the artwork. As always, veterans' associations and volunteers committed to the values of the French Republic will ensure the continuity of remembrance and the daily ceremony of rekindling the flame that pays homage to the Unknown Soldier and those who lost their lives fighting for France. The eternal flame and daily rituals at the tomb also challenged the installation project - nobody can distinguish the flame, and ceremonies have to continue. Christo and Jeanne-Claude have always made clear that their artworks in progress must be continued after their deaths. Christo's wanted that L'Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped, will be realized by his team. Arc Wrapping project The wrapping took place in the following stages: Design of the steel support structures. Installation of the steel support structures.The steel support structure with wooden padding in many places to maintain Arc untouched and without dents. Installers will tie the canvas and rope to the support structure. Wrapping the Arc de Triomphe (attaching the canvas and rolling the 6 km rope around the Arc. Unwrapping the Arc. Disassembly of the support structure. Implementation Christo's organization chose The Charpentiers of Paris "Les Charpantier De Paris" as the main contractor to install and disassemble the art piece. Mr. Sébastien Roger was in charge of the project. He was the coordinator of all the companies involved: subcontractors, scaffolders, nacelles, all the teams that produce the general schedule of the site. Mr. Roger said: It was a massive project for us, an adventure that started again in early 2019 when Christo had contact with us. The Charpentier's of Paris made with Christo earlier the wrapping project of the Pont-Neuf in 85, and Christo asked us whether we were ready to remake an adventure with him for the packaging of the Arc de Triomphe. Main contractor - Charpentier's de Paris Charpentier's de Paris was founded in 1893. They specialize in wood frames, metal frame structures, and joinery. Now they employ between 85 and 90 people and master all the projects from beginning to the end: manufacturing, price studies, an internal design office, workshops that allow us to manufacture our wooden structures, our metal or carpentry structures, and afterward, our laying teams that will lay the various elements on the sites. Sébastien Roger explains the beginning of the project When Christo came to us in early 2019 to ask us if we wanted to join his project for the Arc de Triomphe, the technical studies were already well advanced on how the project was going to be. The Charpentiers of Paris began to work together with the German design office SBP. SPB did all the sizing of the structures that have we were supposed to install. Charpentier's de Paris tried to find the most straightforward solutions to install the structures, which wasn't easy because of vision differences between designers and those implementing the work. Arc de Triomphe project installation challenges Installation of the support frames was challenging in several ways — high arching structures two lower, three higher, reaching up to 28 meters at highest. The eternal flame and the ceremonies had continued under one Arc as always. Men were supposed to work safely on the platform in all circumstances. The Arc formed elements were very heavy, and the walls were inclining inwards. Paris Arc de Triomphe platform. Mr. Roger explains the challenges. The real technological challenge was to find the best solution to put the structures in the vaults. The problem with the arches is that we had to place them on cornices. In a metal frame, the simplest is to take the elements and raise them, except that here, being inside the Arc, you could not take the parts and raise them, so you had to take them from below and support them. If there are accidents on the construction sites, the construction site is stopped, and you cannot go further with the works on the site. At Arc, with the time they were given to do the installation, everything had to be well-planned upfront to minimize the safety problems. Mr. Roger: I found the solution of the Scanclimber mast climbing platforms which allowed the elements to be mounted safely. We contacted Scanclimberl. We had meetings on the spot to show them my vision of things, how we were going to be able to assemble the elements, and we worked together to find the best solution to put these structures together. Scanclimber mast climbers allowed them to go all the way to the top of the great vault, which is 22 meters from the ground. These large platforms, which were about 10 meters wide by 12 meters long, allowed them to access the sandbank of the great vault. The two platforms were independent, allowing them to access the sand and put the first elements on the sand. These elements were large metal beams that would enable the distribution of the load of the components that we had to install later. Mast climbers at Arc de Triomphe After several conversations with Charpentier of Paris, Scanclimber designed customized mast climbers. Instead of one giant, the final design was two independently moving 10 x 12 meters MCWP:s. Thus it was possible to leave the middle section free for other necessary equipment. Scanclimber designed these SC8000 MCWP:s in the somewhat same vein, as they had created the vast platform at Eiffel tower a few years ago. The platforms had manually moving sliding decks in each corner to enable reach to the Arc every place. These two-mast climbers we only anchored from the top. Each platform with 8. bolts only. Paris Arc de Triomphe platforms. Kevin Ramirez, who from Scanclimber was responsible for the installation of the platforms, commented: The precautions to prevent any damage to the Arc were so strict that we were not even allowed to drill the anchor bolt holes. I had to be done by Charpantiers de Paris. After we have removed the bolts, an expert company will come in and fill the bolt holes with a specific filling material. Sébastien Roger from Charpantiers de Pris explained futher: The complexity of these platforms and of the Arc de Triomphe is that the width at the bottom of the Arc and the width at the top of the Arc are not the same, so we were obliged to design specifically for this project unique moving decks that could glide and widen or shrink the width of the platform. These gliding decks moved inside the structure to allow access to places that one could not have been possible with fixed-width at the platform. The second phase of the platforms was to carry the enormous load of the entire support structures that they were going to install at the top of the vault, in five arcs, five half circles connected with a beam along the whole length of the vault - 22 meters long - laid on a truss beam that was 32 meters long. They made carriers that allowed Chapantier's staff to put all that load of 22 tons on the ground, with feet crossing the platform. During the lifting phase that took place late August, the entire structure was docked and premounted on the large truss beam. Paris Arc de Triomphe two separate platforms. Once Charpantiers organization had installed this large and heavy metal structure in the vault, they went down with the truss beam simultaneously with the platforms. Then we used the platforms to finish the installation and put in the last elements: Taking material to 22 meters — or more, up to 24 or 26 meters. The last part of the final sequence of the installation was to use the platforms to set up the canvases. We placed the canvas under the vault sky, and the canvas was stretched under the vault, hanging on the metal support structures. Once we had tied all the paintings/canvasses in place, the platform was unmounted. In October, when Charpentier de Paris staff came back, Tractel dismantled the platforms. Why Charpentiers used mast climbers at Arc de Triomphe Mr. Roger said: We chose these platforms... after consultations with the Scanclimber teams and with the Scanclimber design unit, to get us the best solution. We needed to load a lot of people — about 20 people on each platform. We came up with this kind of product that could travel with so many people and weight and effectively work at that height. And a minimum anchoring in the Arc de Triomphe was critical. Now we've only got an anchoring at the top of the masts. Charpentier de Paris and Christo Foundation is happy with their decision to take mast climbers into this project. Mr. Sébastien Roger thinks that : These dual platforms are stable, and they travel fast. And also, he thinks they're safe in all directions. He commented: Sliding decks let us go where we need to. Mast climbers have been capable of taking a load to places where we couldn't go on a simple scaffold, and they allow us to go down quickly fetch something from ground level. Since all the elements were premounted saved us a lot of installation time. Installing a piece of art like this at Arc in the middle of Paris is a project where you cannot lose a day. If you do, it can have an impact on the finishing date. And that we cannot move. . Arc de Triomphe installation has been a successful project technically but also from the service perspective. Sébastien Rogers last comments about the project: We've never had a problem on the platforms, but if we had a problem, there's a Scanclimber team that's there, waiting, to intervene and solve the problem. This is the best solution for the project.   #### Finnish nuclear waste, terminal placement in 500-meter- deep bedrock at Onkalo The Onkalo nuclear waste disposal facility under construction in Olkiluoto, Finland, will be the world’s first permanent geological repository for spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. Posiva is using a Scanclimber hybrid hoist-work platform SC2000 in assembly work inside the personnel shaft in Onkalo. The product was custom-built according to Posiva’s requirements. The SC2000 hoist-work platform is a hybrid of a hoist and a mast climber (MCWP). The site Jarno Säippä is the project manager at Posiva’s (www.posiva.fi) Final disposal – project. He has worked in the mining industry in various positions and is now responsible for the project shaft construction. The first time I came to the Posiva Onkalo construction site in 2006, I was employed by a mining contractor. I have also previously worked at the gold mine and as the inspector for STUK (Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority of Finland) to supervise this construction site. Onkalo is a unique project, the first of its kind in the world. The International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) general director called Onkalo A game-changer for the long-term sustainability of nuclear energy. The Onkalo spent nuclear fuel repository is planned for the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel. It is located near the Olkiluoto Nuclear Power Plant in the municipality of Eurajoki, on the west coast of Finland. Posiva is constructing it, and the concept is based on the KBS-3 method of nuclear waste burial developed in Sweden by Svensk Kärnbränslehantering AB (SKB). The facility should be operational in 2023. Jarno explains: The actual construction of the Onkalo shafts and main tunnels started in 2004 and ended in 2012. During these years, Posiva also built an Onkalo research facility. At the time of our visit to the facility, Posiva started building and excavating the final nuclear waste placement tunnels. The officials gave the permit to build nuclear waste disposal facilities in 2015, and the construction works began in 2016. Posiva will be building the world`s first safe and efficient nuclear waste disposal plant ever. The Project In 1994, parliament amended the Finnish Nuclear Energy Act to specify that all nuclear waste produced in Finland must also be disposed of in Finland. The Finnish government selected Olkiluoto in 2000 as the terminal placement site for a long-term underground storage facility for nuclear fuel spent in Finland. The facility, named “Onkalo” (meaning "small cave" or "cavity"), is being built in the granite bedrock at the Olkiluoto site, about five kilometers from the nuclear power plants. The municipality of Eurajoki issued a building permit for the facility in August 2003. Excavation began in 2004. Olkiluoto’s research area housed 350m underground. Photo: Peter Guenze About the challenges of building the facility, Jarno comments: At the general level, the main challenges in this project have been that we are making the world’s first facility of this kind. So, we are setting an example and standard to the rest of the world that nuclear waste can be safely and efficiently disposed of into the stable bedrock. The Onkalo main facility with the shafts but without the final waste placement capsule shaft tunnels. Photo: Posiva Installation of bentonite rings. Photo: Posiva Construction of Onkalo The entire construction and disposal will take about 100 years. Then the premises will be closed. When the facilities are ready, the tunnels’ total length will be about 50km and have a total volume of approximately 1.5 million cubic meters. According to the plans, 6,500 tonnes of spent nuclear fuel will be finalized, which means over 3,000 copper capsules. Jarno explains. Building the facility is a vast project and demands specific kinds of tools and equipment. The four shafts in the facility are almost 0.5 km deep. Several works needed to be carried out inside the shafts and on the shaft walls. Hybrid hoist + mast climber In assembly work inside the personnel shaft, Posiva is using a Scanclimber hybrid hoist-work platform SC2000. The product was custom-built according to Posiva’s requirements. The SC2000 hoist-work platform is a hybrid of a hoist and a mast climber (MCWP). Posiva wanted a "platform" in the personnel shaft from which to assemble the steel frames and do the HVAC work. In addition to the shaft platform Posiva, they also needed a device to transport people and material. So based on this idea, the SC2000 was developed. On the lower floor (1) is a "˜standard" hoist with a sliding door and access in and out on any floor. On the (2) upper floor of the SC2000 is a work platform where personnel can work and access the shaft walls. The platform climbs up to 480m and has a maximum capacity of 2000kg. But they also needed a device to transport people and materials. Jarno says: In personnel shaft, we use the Scanclimber mast platform, from which the shaft fitting works are performed. We also use the passenger hoist section (floor) of the platform for supportive transportation tasks before we install the actual passenger elevator. and continues: Scanclimber’s work platform-hoist combination is used in the personnel shaft for equipment- and HVAC-installations. After their implementation, the actual passenger elevator can be installed in the shaft. The guides for the final passenger lift are also installed from the Scanclimber work platform. After the installation of the guides and HVAC. Posiva will dismantle the platform at the turn of 2022- 2023, and we’ll install a standard counterweighted passenger lift in the shaft. Posiva considered an Alimak-type hoist at the beginning of the project but found no hoist suitable for their needs on the market. That is why they decided on a customized Scanclimber hybrid platform. The work platform’s primary task is to help in the installation of steel frames inside the shaft. The steel frames are 10-meter-high pre-assembled elements. They are lowered down into the shaft by a crane and installed from the platform. During installation, the steel elements are bolted together and to the shaft wall. The SC2000 mast will grow as work progresses. The mast sections are transported up with the work platform and installed from the platform with a Scanclimber standard Mast Assembly Crane Arm. Posiva utilizes the hoist-work platform to install other parts in the shaft, like final personnel lift guiding frames, electrical installations, cabling, lighting, piping, safety, and emergency equipment, etc. The hoist-work platform is a functional unit and consists of the following main components shown in the picture: mast base, hoist cage, work hoist platform protective roof drive unit landings I and II, mast with anchoring, cable guide system, In the shafts -project, there are two, approximately 400-meter vertical shafts that needed to be strengthened and equipped in a way that the final personnel lifts can be safely installed. This has also been a pretty challenging project for myself. Jarno concluded. Close to the end of the shaft project, Jarno is satisfied with the platform: Scanclimber’s work platform has met the expectations placed on it very well. The challenge at first was that the radio control signal from the platform did not work in an almost 500-meter-deep shaft in the bedrock. But when the radio control was replaced with a cable and the control system has worked just fine. Jarno concludes.   Project description in Ns EnergyArticle at project in Wired Magazine #### Zech installing windows at Heidelberg Europaplaz Around Heidelberg Europlatz main building, Zech had twelve Scanclimber SC8000 mast climbers with glide rails helping in a demanding window and facade element installation. The Zech installers fixed the elements from the mast climbers and used the glide rails to position the heavy window elements accurately. Area Development of Heidelberg Railway Station Freight Yard A new city district of 116 hectares is growing on an abandoned area of a former freight yard in Heidelberg, Germany. The City of Heidelberg wants to transform this area into a neighbourhood considering multiple aspects of environmental protection. Heidelberg City's idea is to create and prove the feasibility of high-energy-efficient buildings and a sustainable energy supply. The builders must construct all facilities in Bahnstadt following the Passive House Standard. The Bahnstad area. Five thousand citizens will find a place to live, and 7,000 new jobs will be created in the Bahnstad area. The development started in the year 2008 and is scheduled for completion in 2022. Today, Heidelberg City has sold most of the area, and most residential buildings have been constructed. Zech Company Building Europaplaz in Heidelberg One of the developments is the Bahnstad Central area, where Gustav-Zech-Stiftung from Bremen, Germany, realizes six buildings. Construction works of the new "Bahnstadt "central area at Heidelberg's Main Station started in October 2019. Europaplaz in Heidelberg. The new urban quarter, Europaplaz, between the central train station and the planned congress center on the Czernyring will mix different uses: A four-star plus hotel with over 300 rooms, a residential building with 100 rental apartments, and other facilities for offices and administration. Under the plaza, there is a partially public parking garage for 1600 bicycles and 750 cars. Currently, the construction site is in a skeleton state, and the facade works are progressing. After a total of three years of construction, Gustav-Zech-Stiftung will complete the 300 million project in 2022. Window Installation at Europaplatz In the heart of the area, Zech company is finishing the tallest building in Bahnstadt, Europalatz 1 building, with 13 floors and 3200m2. The building is going to be 4-star-superior ATLANTIC Hotel with 310 rooms and a spa area. In the summer of September 2021, building works progressed well, and Zech company installed windows. Later, in the autumn, they will install stone cladding on the walls. Window and cladding elements were so big and heavy that Zech could not install windows from inside; thus, they needed a solution from outside. The crane use was not possible because of the very constrained capacity of the cranes. After several consultations and discussions with different vendors and manufacturers, Zech decided to take Scanclimber mast climbers with glide rail add-ons for work. Mast Climber Use in Window installation and Wall Cladding Scanclimber mast climbers with glide rail add-ons. Around the building, there were twelve units of SC8000 mast climbers, two single mast units, and five twin mast units. All mast climbers have glide rail add-ons installed. The glide rail height is adjustable since it can be pushed up or lowered on top of the mast climber. Each of the glide rails carries two gliders with a Minifor wire rope hoist on its rail. On the twin mast platform, there are altogether four gliders and wire rope hoists on the glide rails. Each glider can have a payload of 600 kg or 1000 kg with a short rail. Thus technically, 24 gliders and installation teams could work on the facade at the same time. How the Glide Rails Are Used for Window Installation The glide rail. The installers take the load of window elements, travel up with two sets of 5-6 windows on the platform. Then they start the installation of the lower window brackets. Once brackets are installed, they raise the window with the help of a glide rail running wire rope hoist and lower it to an accurate position on the lower brackets. The platform is then traversed up to the correct assembly level. In that position, workers install upper brackets and fasten the window element to that. Window elements installation with the help of a glide rail. Mast Climber Add-Ons in Window Installation Minifor Wire Rope Hoist and platforms with front side extension of 0,30 m and 1,00 m installed. As an addition to the glide rails and Minifor wire rope hoist, all the platforms have a front side extension of 0,30 m and 1,00 m installed. The mast climber distance to the building had to be increased since there was a gap between the building shell and the floor slab, "Betoniergasse." The gap was challenging for the use of the Glide rails too. Glide rails had to be mounted on cantilevers to get close enough to the building to avoid pull during the window installation, Advantages of Glide Rail Equipped Mast Climbers in Window installation Work Mast climber's material and people transportation capacity reduced the need to use the constrained crane and the transport platform. And so, the windows and the natural stone installers could work entirely independently. Zech chose mast climbers over scaffolding because all-around console scaffolding would also have led to additional waiting times for façade installation. Due to the element size and weight, other aids would have been required to swivel the facade parts under the scaffolding. Commercially available standard monorails could only support only one hoist that could work with their wingspan. In this case, since the Glide rail can also make considerable lengths on a single-mast platform, four wire rope hoists could be used here simultaneously. Minifor Wire Rope Hoist and platforms with front side extension of 0,30 m and 1,00 m installed. The possibility of adjusting the glide rail distance between the building and the mast climber proved very beneficial. At Euopaplatz, the distance between the mast climber and the building was up to 1.50 m. Now the facade elements could also be mounted at such a distance. Zech could have used only one hoist with a commercially available monorail in the twin-mast version due to the wingspan. However, since the Scanclimber glide rail can make considerable lengths as a single-mast platform, four wire rope hoists per twin-mast platform could be used simultaneously. Depending on the cantilever length, the load capacity is between 600 – 1000 kg minus 100 kg weight of the hoist. A final word about the window installation with mast climbers Zech company is happy with the solution for window installation. Site manager Mr Messerschmidt stated that: These machines saved a lot of time and trouble. In a big construction site like this, the crane capacity is always limited, but now we did not need them for window installation at all. Also, the installation was very productive and fast. And the installers had good view and height always on what they did. #### Triple Hoist helping building work at Funke Mediengruppe HQ in Germany Funke Medienhäuser built a new headquarters and office buildings in the very center of Essen. Three Scanclimber Triple Hoists handled the vertical logistics of personnel and materials during construction. Funke Mediengruppe Funke Mediengruppe (formerly WAZ-Mediagroup) is one of Germany’s leading media houses; publishing regional media, women’s magazines and TV guides. It is Germany's third-largest newspaper and magazine publisher with a total of over 500 publications in eight countries. WAZ-Mediengruppe is privately held by the Funke family and is headquartered in Essen, North Rhine-Westphalia. The group's largest newspaper is the Westdeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, the leading commercial newspaper in the Ruhr metropolitan region and the largest regional newspaper in Germany. New Funke HQ and office complex in Essen In July 2016, the foundation stone for the new corporate headquarters was laid in the University District of the German city of Essen. The new Funke Media Office was planned to serve the company's 1,200 employees in the perfect ambience and atmosphere for creative, collaborative work. The company expected to move into the new Funke Media Office around the end of 2017. Approximately 37,000 square meters will support efficient, flexible working processes and seamless communication. The company’s vision was to create one of the most advanced corporate headquarters in Germany's media industry. Office spaces bathed in light and open, modular structural concepts incorporating retreating rooms will provide ideal conditions for creative journalism. The project The new building is designed by AllesWirdGut Architektur, Vienna. The main contractor for the project was DAL Deutsche Anlangen-Leasing. The sub-contractor responsible for the building work of Funke HQ’s was Kölbl Kruse Gmbh. SiteLog Baulogistk was responsible for logistics and the worksite rental fleet. The new Funke offices will be occupied by the editorial offices of the German newspapers as well as corporate support services such as sales, finance and marketing. Supporting the company's initiatives to improve its employees' work-life balance, the building is designed to incorporate services, sports facilities and even its own child care centre. SiteLog chose Triple Hoists SiteLog, as the project logics company, was challenged by the project’s inner-city location along an urban arterial road and a construction area divided by public traffic. These constraints were one reason they chose Scanclimber SC20 Hoists for the project’s vertical transportation of personnel and materials. Scanclimber Triple Hoist and its key advantages Once the Triple Hoists were installed they could be used for: vertical access for personnel = working as an elevator transporting construction material safely, and with enough capacity improved overall safety and productivity. The Modular design of Triple Hoist offers various platform sizes providing the required job site flexibility. A Scanclimber Triple Hoist was deemed the most feasible solution available. Twin Scanclimber SC20s were chosen for the job. The key advantages offered by Scanclimber Transport Platforms were: Lightweight (and still 2-tonne capacity) Since SC20s (Triple Hoist) are light and modular. Transportation, installation and dismantling are quick and easy. High lifting capacity One of the key features of Scanclimber Transport Platforms is their lifting capacity of 2 000 kg. This capacity allowed many workers to travel on the platform and also to load it with materials and tools. Customer feedback Although the customer knew the value and efficiency that Transport Platforms can bring to such projects, the contractor’s team, including the site manager, praised Scanclimber machines highly: Since we had serious space constraints and needed an easy and quick way of moving the Hoists around, we took Triple Hoists and we have been happy with that! commented the SiteLog project manager, Mr Richard Pohl.

The IPAF (International Powered Access Federation) is a non-profit organization that promotes the safe and effective use of powered access equipment worldwide. IPAF provides technical advice and information, through influencing and interpreting legislation, standards and safety initiatives, and training programs. Every year, IPAF awards companies in the powered access industry for the best practices, product innovations, and several other categories called the International Awards for Powered Access (IAPAs). Our history with the IAPAs dates back to 2013, which marked our first-time entry into the awards. Scanclimber appearance and accomplishments at the IAPAs have been a constant ever since. 2013 In the year 2012, Scanclimber  was handling the Eiffel tower renovation project in Paris. The Eiffel Towers first level had not been renovated for 30 years, and the Eiffel Tower needed more restaurant space. On level one in the Eiffel tower, there was no space available for working, and transportation of materials to level one was almost impossible. These factors, combined with the vast crowd visiting the Eiffel tower daily and the limited ground-level space, made vertical access use and installation challenging. Vinci Company, Bateg, won the contract with the help of Scanclimber and its French rental partner Sky Acces. Sky Access installed two twin units of SC8000 with a significant additional middle platform section used between them. This arrangement of the twin units created a working space that was 24.1 m long and 6.6 m wide. To make it more concrete, that is the size of a tennis court, but at the height of 50 m. Creating a working space at that height and complying with the safety and environmental regulations was no mean feat, which judges rightfully identified at the IAPAs. The Eiffel tower project and SC8000 installation as a product were our first entries at the IAPAs, and IPAF recognized them both successfully. Awards won: Product of the year SC8000 Access Project of the year 2014 Our product portfolio includes a cluster of mast climber extensions and add-ons meant to provide access to complex façade structures. The Double-Decker is a dynamically aligning platform that makes it easier and quicker to perform surface work on curved and arched surfaces. As the name suggests, the double-decker has two working levels fixed on top of the other. The double-decker moves up and down along with the platform. It also moves horizontally outwards to the platform up to 2 meters. The upper and lower decks are equipped with electrical drives, and the users can operate them with a remote pendant. A standardized version of Double-Decker, Sliding Deck Extension played a vital role in the façade works done on one of our important projects, the Amager Bakke waste to energy management plant in Denmark. Working on two levels using the Sliding Deck Extension in Amager Bakke.   The double-decker is not a standard product. However, a standardized version of this product is also a part of our product catalog and is called the sliding deck extension. In 2014, the Jury awarded the double-decker at the IAPAs. Awards won: Product of the year- Double Decker 2015 Malaysia is home to many skyscrapers, and the IB Tower in Kuala Lumpur is one of them. Standing at the height of 276 m, it is the fifth tallest building in Malaysia. Designed by Sir Norman Foster of London, the IB Tower consists of 60 floors of offices, services, and apartments. The tower’s stunning design, which is striking and visually appealing, will be hard to overlook when traveling on the main roads in the city. In 2013, Scan-Rent, Scanclimbers partner in Malaysia, received the contract to provide mast climbers for the cladding works on the IB towers. The job required 40 units of SC4000 mast climbers. Scan-Rent finished the project in 2014. IP Tower project was proof of the Scanclimber product capabilities on high-rise buildings and won the title of the project of the year at the IAPAs 2015. Awards won: Project of the Year 2017 Our partnership with Scan-Rent, Malaysia, led again to one unique product innovation of counter-balanced extensions on the Fennel Project in Sentul, Kuala Lumpur. The Fennel Project is an iconic landmark consisting construction project of four 150-meter blocks in Sentul, Malaysia. Each block has 38 floors and altogether comprising 458 apartments. The main challenge in this project was the wavy zig-zag shape of the towers, making it difficult to access the façade using scaffolding or standard mast climbing work platforms. To access the facades with traditional mast climbers was not possible. Those demands sparked the planning of the counter-balanced extension at Scanclimber. The counter-balanced extension has two independently moving decks that can outreach 4 m away from the central platform. These decks move separately back and forth using either manual or optional electrical controls.   In 2018, IPAF held IAPAs held in Miami. Three hundred industry professionals attended the event. IPAF rewarded the counter-balanced extension with the product of the year award. The Jury stated that it was one of the most innovative Mast Climbing Work Platform products we have seen and extending the possible applications for several of the companys existing products. Awards won: Product of the year- Counter Balanced Extension 2020 We try to design our products best in class in the relevant metrics of vertical access machinery, vis.a.vis, payload capacity, platform lengths, and anchoring heights. The Heavy Duty mast climber (HD MCPW) system, which we introduced in 2019 at Bauma, was developed to strengthen our position as the best in class. The HD MCWP can be used freestanding up to a height of 30 m and up to 55 m with one single top anchor. The HD MCWP is intended for high-rise projects that require minimum (anchoring) interference with the building structures. The IAPAs in 2021 was an online event with over 1000 industry professionals participating from 70 countries. The HD MCWP was deemed the product of the year and was touted as an incredibly innovative product and praised for its ease of use. This award is the sixth win at the IAPAs in the last eight years. The HD MCWP system comprises of the following components:HD Chassis, HD Mast, HD Anchoring, HD Top Cap. Awards won: Product of the year- HD MCWP The hits and the misses Since we submitted our first application to the IAPAs in 2013, we have participated in the IAPA Awards contest a total of 8 times. The Jury has shortlisted every entry we have made at the IAPAs. The products that were shortlisted but did not win were: Mast climber top crane All reach Extension SC10000 Conclusion: The industry trends in high-rise buildings have been very evident. Façade structures in skyscrapers are getting complex, and they require productive, easy, and safe solutions. It makes us proud that IPAF has awarded our efforts in this industry. These recognitions by IPAF to our products and projects is an endorsement of our vision and capabilities as a vertical access industry manufacturer. #### Cologne Cathedral – an eternal restoration project The Roman Catholic Cathedral in Cologne is one of the most visited landmarks in Germany with an average of 20,000 visitors a day. This six-hundred-year-old cathedral was built over a period of 300 years. Restoration work on it continues to this day; an everlasting project with an annual restoration budget of 10 million euros. Building dimensions Cologne Cathedral is a huge building. It is currently the tallest twin-spired church in the world, reaching 157 m. Additional key dimensions to illustrate the proportions of the building: External length 144.58 m External width 86,25 m Height of southern tower 157,31 m Height of northern tower 157,38 m Building area 7,914 m² Window surface area 10,000 m² Roof surface area12,000 m² Gross volume without buttresses 407,000 m³ The towers of the two huge spires give the cathedral the largest façade of any church in the world. Short history Construction of Cologne Cathedral commenced in 1248, was halted in 1473, and resumed again in the 19th century. It was finally completed in 1880. Cologne's medieval builders had planned a grand structure to house the shrine of the Three Kings and as a place of worship for the Holy Roman Emperor. Despite having been left incomplete during the medieval period, Cologne Cathedral was seen as "a masterpiece of exceptional intrinsic value" and "a powerful testimony to the strength and persistence of Christian belief in medieval and modern Europe" …but construction work continues. Responsibility for Cathedral restoration- Dombauverwaltung All historical buildings have to be taken care of if they are to be preserved. Gothic structures like the Cologne Cathedral are very fragile because of their intricate surfaces. A dedicated organization is responsible for the continuous preservation work of Cologne Cathedral, Köln Dombauvervaltung (=Cologne Cathedral construction management organization). Köln Dombauvervaltung has a staff of 80 persons. Thirty of them are craftsmen such as stone masons, scaffold makers, roofers and carpenters. Many others are working to repair or reconstruct parts of the structure that have been damaged by weather or simply old age. These experts often use modern versions of the tools and materials that were common in the Middle Ages. Cologne Cathedral and Triple hoist Both workers and tools needed to be transported to different floors and to a maximum height of 100 meters. Hoists and scaffolding would both be used at the Cathedral. The vertical transportation system fastenings should not touch Cathedral façade or structures. After long consideration, they chose Scanclimber Triple Hoist SC8 as their permanent/movable vertical transport media at Cologne Cathedral Main reasons why Cologne Domebauvervaltung chose Scanclimber Triple Hoist: Lightweight and easy to move, with an 800 kg capacity. Callability of the platform -- the hoist/platform can be called to different floors. Speed capability of 24m/min. (often only 12m/min). A Scanclimber Triple hoist was deemed the most feasible solution available.

The HD Top Cap has a lifting capacity of 13000 kg. #### Tallest building in Bielefeld, Germany faced with longest mast climber ever In 2017, Deutsche Telekom vacated a high-rise building in Bielefeld, Germany. Subsequently, the idea was to convert it into a residential student building. The centrally located facility has 18 floors and stands 76m tall or 95.5m when including the building's telecommunications tower. The Goldbeck Nord GmbH construction company used Scanclimbers SC8000 twin unit mast climber with a full-length capacity of 46.2m for the facade renovation work. Project challenges Remodeling an office building into a residential building has its own unique challenges. The utilization of floor space in an office is substantially different from that of a residential apartment. Some of the main challenges of the project were to: Increase the living space on each floor Disassemble the façade elements by breaking down the concrete Install new façade holders The façade elements were 46m in length and 17m in breadth Mast climber solutions The Goldbeck Nord GmbH construction company bought the building in 2018 and announced plans to remodel it. An architectural design targeting the increased living space and converting the office rooms into residential apartments was conceived. The architectural design was nominated for the "World Architecture Festival 2017" in the "Residential - Future Projects" category. To disassemble the façade elements, Goldbeck used Scanclimber's SC8000 twin unit mast climber with a full-length capacity of 46.2m, making it Scanclimbers most extended mast climber configuration so far. The breadth of the front side of the building is 17 m. Scanclimber installed two more SC8000 single units with full-length capacity on both sides of the building. The first MCWP was erected in February 2020, and the dismantling job is expected to conclude by April 2021. The solution conclusion Scanclimber had delivered several solutions for renovation projects in Germany before, such as the Blue Horizon Project, where we used noise cancellation panels with the mast climbers. This new renovation project at Belfield validates the versatility of rack and pinion-driven vertical access solutions. Project Facts   Timeline Feb 2020 to April 2021 Project location Bielefeld, Germany Building height 76 meters Max. working height 62 meters Number of floors 18 Machines used 2 x SC8000 twin units (46.2m) 2x SC8000 single units (16.9m) Main contractor Goldbeck Nord GmbH #### Mast climbers used at the new post office headquarters at Luxembourg Opposite the Luxembourg railway station, the ‘Centre Postal Gare’ construction work is progressing at full speed. The building of the new official headquarters of the Luxembourg Post is on track for completion in 2022. The facade work started at the beginning of 2021 on the 27,700m2 complex. Demanding installation in Luxembourg Under the monument, the facade will be integrated into the new building. Some other notable features are also planned for the facade. These special facade features originate from the ‘Platinum’ certification by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB). The certificate demands compliance with strict environmental and sustainability criteria. Challenges The new facade is attached to a wooden support structure, and it has a construction depth of 900mm. Natural stone facade swords are integrated in some areas, arranged in a grid of 650mm. With a deadweight of around 200kg per centerboard, the story-high parts are cantilevered by about 600mm. Temporary storage space and the working area are very confined. The on-site cranes are in heavy use. The installation took place during the shell construction when only 3 of 9 floors were completed. The facade's depth was challenging, the schedule was tight and the anchoring possibilities were limited. The first requirement for the facade access was to install lower facades while the building shell was being built on the floors above. The second requirement was to distance the workspace 900mm further out at the bottom than at the top of the building and arrange the distance change dynamically. The workers needed temporary storage space daily for the facade profiles and swords on each working floor. Each installation team needed to use the lifting device independently. Material and elements need to be transported from the ground to the operating level without the on-site crane. Solution The company responsible for the project was Annen plus S.A. from Manternach, Germany. The company started in timber construction and is now breaking into new segments of the business. Now, they also transform wood, glass, and metal into intelligent and aesthetic facades. It can be a demanding task using wood for constructing complex facades. It requires planning, construction knowledge and, as was also evident in Luxemburg, post assembly planning. Because of the project complexities, Annen had to think carefully about a vertical transportation solution to solve the site's logistic challenges. After evaluating different possibilities, the answer was a combination of mast climbing work platforms, trolley rails, adjustable distancing from the facade, and some project-specific components. The final decision was to take the Scanclimber’s vertical access concept with SC8000 mast climbers. SC8000 mast climber with rear "loading decks" above the pedestrian tunnel in the first height section 30m2 workstation. With partially outreaching deck and an adjustable mounting bar for the mast. The Scanclimber SC8000 vertical access concept In the project, Annen is using several 12.1-meter long SC8000 platforms. The load capacity of the single-mast climber is 3,500kg, mainly because of additional components and options attached to it. The remaining payload of 1,550kg met the needs of the assembly teams. Users can extend the platform width independently on each side of the platform. In this project, an extension of around 900mm was sufficient. The electrically driven deck moves in and out fast and flexibly. The distance can be adjusted just by pressing a button. Because of the adjustable deck, it is easy to go past any protruding parts. Platform with retracted extended deck. Platform with partially extended deck.   Due to the limited space, the contractor constructed the foundation with a flexible support structure. Because mast climbers were above pedestrian tunnels, it was necessary to restrict access to the roadway. The access restriction was ensured electrically by using lane-limiting switches. Higher buffers were installed on the mast for protection in the event of an emergency. Even in the event of a lowering in a power failure situation, a ‘collision’ will not happen.   The glide rail serves as the lifting device for face elements. It is fixed to a frame on the mast. If needed, it can be lifted into a higher position by crane or the platform and then locked to a mast position. The glide rail load capacity depends on the length of the arm. The glide rail system's lifting ability is 600kg on a 16.90m long single mast platform. For shorter versions, the capacity goes up to 1,000kg. In the Luxemburg Post Office project, the builders use electric hoists manufactured by Tractel® with 500kg capacity. The radio-controlled hoists are used to lift material from the ground to the platform. Then the glide rail crane can reach above the platform and pick up the material on the front side. It is also possible to add lifting space by retracting the extension. The builders also use the hoist to pick up the parts from the platform and position them on the building for installation. The rail position is variably adjustable. X = max. 100mm, to ensure a precise positioning of the gliding rail. Scanclimber customized the mast's anchoring for this project since the maximum width should not exceed the distance between the swords on the facade. The contractor used precast concrete Halfen rails for fastening the anchors to avoid unnecessary drilling. Designers needed to adapt the platform's access because of the higher-than-normal parking position of the mast climber. Since the pedestrian tunnels on the ground level prevent the platform from reaching the ground level and the ramps, a transfer ramp was installed. This TUV approved ramp, generally used for access between two platforms, gave access to the first floor. The ramp's width was only 600mm so that builders could use the ramp later between installed swords. Conclusion Scanclimber has a formidable track record in providing vertical access solutions to various projects in Central Europe. This project is another proof of concept for the fact that demand-oriented access solutions can help to considerably improve the construction process. Project facts   Timeline 2021-2022 Project location Luxembourg Project type Construction Machines used 4 x SC8000 Special extensions used Glide Rail Rear Extension Decks Main contractor Annen plus S.A #### Total Cover System with Mast Climbers in Roskilde, Denmark Weather covers are used in the construction industry to protect buildings against bad weather and to keep structures dry during the construction process. Weather covers are also increasingly used in renovations - for example in roof replacement projects. The growing use of wood in construction, especially in Nordic markets, is also increasing demand. So far, the use of scaffolding to build a weather cover solution has been the norm. Roskilde worksite On a worksite in Roskilde, Denmark, a Copenhagen-based company, Platform.as, used a Total Cover System on Scanclimber’s mast climbers. In collaboration with Solrød Scaffolding, Ishøj, Platform.as, developed a mast-climber-based weather cover system, used for the first time in Roskilde to cover a building. No scaffolding was needed for the cover. Only mast climbing work platforms were used to create the supporting structure for the Total Cover System. Greater work area and unobstructed access Once Platform.as had the mast climber weather cover installed, the mast climbing platform was locked in position under the eaves. The platform at roof level allowed a larger working area than a scaffolding deck, this meant more space for storing materials and for working. In addition to increased workspace, workers could also move freely along the eaves since the platform area is not restricted by vertical scaffolding pillars that people need to navigate around. In addition to the increased working area, the solution provided a weather cover gliding possibility. This is done with a system that allows the roof to roll on so-called "roller skates" or trolleys which run on horizontal tracks along the foot of the roof. The weather cover can be glided easily to the new area that needs to be covered. Having a weather cover on a mast climber allowed greater load capacity on the decks, less disruption for residents, avoided scaffolding all over the facade which minimized the risk of burglary and, importantly, reduced costs - especially in higher buildings. The solution of the future Platform.as sees that the future use potential of this solution is considerable. There is a huge development potential in the product that will make it attractive compared to the traditional scaffolding solutions. Soon we will be able to mount two platforms on one mast. Then anybody can work on the facade from the platform, while the upper platform is locked in position on the roof. Then you will be able to change roofs and windows at the same time” says enthusiastic director, Casper Knudsen and adds: We have already a solution with two platforms on one mast, so it is just a matter of adapting our existing solution. Nothing left to chance The absolute top priority of the Roskilde weather cover project is of course safety. We have been developing this new product more than a year and we have made a lot of calculations to ensure everything works correctly. We have also secured all necessary approvals - including from the Labor Institute. For Platform.as, it is about Quality, Service and Safety, with a bold line under SAFETY, stated Casper Knudsen. Platform.as undertook the first roofing with a mast-climber-based weather cover in Roskilde, Denmark. Total Cover System utilizes standard mast climber parts Only a few additional parts are needed: Adapter for the mast top Trolley for weather cover structures Lock to hold the weather cover in position End travel buffers Mast sections are used to create horizontal tracks which support the weather cover structures. Workers at the site can roll the weather cover along the mast track. If necessary, mast climbers can be used at the same time for facade work.   Project Facts   Machines used SC4000 x 10 Additional equipment Total Cover System Building Height 20 meters #### Skanska constructs the largest wooden building in its history Växjö is the centre of the wood building industry in Sweden. The new town hall and railway station is mostly of wood and glass construction with inclined facades. Skanska used Scanclimber's inclined mast climbers for the facade installation work. The Växjö Town Hall project with inclined walls Skanska finished building a new Växjö town hall and railway station in 2020. Skanska, a Nordic region construction company, is involved in house and infrastructure construction in Sweden, Norway, and Finland. It also develops housing and commercial real estate in selected home markets. The new Växjö Town Hall building is the most extensive wooden construction Skanska has built so far. The Växjö town hall and railway station stands seven stories high and comprises approximately 16,400 m2 of gross area. The new town hall in the city center boasts 13,700 m2 of floor space and it is the workplace for around 600 people. The town hall contains several common areas. The 1,850 m2 ground floor station building includes waiting rooms, shops, and restaurants. There is also ample space for what is known as ‘Växjö's living room’ - an indoor social hub. The building, mostly of wood and glass construction, showcases its steeply inclined facades. Challenges The inclined glass facade installation created a significant challenge for Skanska. The facades stand at a 38-degree inclination and the structure is complex. Different approaches Skanska considered several options before starting the facade installation work. The main options were scaffolding or the use of boom lifts. Scaffolding was viewed as laborious and time-consuming because of the amount of material on the crowded work site. Additionally, scaffolding would not have provided optimal, unobstructed accessibility. Boom lifts were ruled out because the whole worksite was enclosed in a weather cover that would have restricted full operation of the boom lifts. Inclined mast climbers After lengthy consideration, Skanska decided to use inclined mast climbers from the rental company, Säve Hyrmaskiner. Säve had just recently introduced Scanclimber’s new inclined mast climber option, which Skanska felt suitable for the purpose. This option is available for all Scanclimber platforms and makes it possible to install MCWPs on almost any inclined facade. Though the facade and platform masts are inclined, the platform itself remains level, making working possible. Contractor’s opinion Henrik Åkesson, Skanska a production manager at Våxjö Town Hall work site commented: We appreciated the inclined mast climbers at the Växjö work site, primarily because of work safety and the increased accessibility and speed of work they provided. Thanks to the mast climbers, we think we were able to make a better final product than other assembly options would have allowed.   Project Facts   Project timelines Spring 2018 - the end of 2021 Building height 30 meters Location Norra Järnvägsgatan 5, 35030 Växjö, Sweden Machines used Mast Cimbers: 3 x SC8000 Twins, 1 x SC5000 Special options Inclined platform add-on on 3 machines Rental company Såve Hyrmaskiner Main contractor Skanska AB Contact Henrik Äkesson, Skanska Sverige AB, Oliver Persson, Säve Hyrmaskiner AB #### Mülheim-Kärlich nuclear plant demolitionin in Germany ABB Company constructed the Mülheim-Kärlich nuclear power plant from 1975 to 1986. The plant is located on the Rhine, close to Mülheim-Kärlich, Germany. The plant operated for only three years before taken offline in 1988 because it stood on an earth-quake-prone area. Background Court order to decommission the Mülheim-Kärlichnuclear power plant After a lengthy legal battle, the building permit was rescinded in 1995 by court decision and confirmed in 1998. The plant decommissioning process started in 2001. Removal of the fuel took place one year later. The authorities caused several delays, so the plant and 160-meter cooling tower were still standing in 2018. The final demolition of the cooling tower took place on August 9, 2019, at 15.38 local time. Demolition project The operator assigned the chimney demolition project to ‘MB Spezialabbruch & Co’from Breitungen. MB Specialabbruch is a company specializing in the demolition of high-rise structures like chimneys, cooling towers, and the like. They started preparatory work in 2016. Various conditions and restrictions were laid out for demolition work. Notably, it was forbidden to use explosives in the vicinity of the nuclear facility. Peter Mittldof, CEO of MB Specialabbruch, thought to use the same technology as in traditional chimney dismantling. It arose from the fact that they had all machines and equipment for conventional chimney dismantling. They worked on the issue for a long time. The focus was on finding a technical solution that met the authorities’ requirements. The innovation was to use the same techniques as used in traditional chimney decommissioning — a machine right at the work level. How the demolition was performed MB Specialabbruch demolished the cooling tower in three phases: The top layer, at 162 meters, was demolished using standard Brokk demolition robots utilizing a hydraulic hammer. From the top down to 80 meters, demolition took place with special MB Specialabbruch-built machines, with Scanclimber’s mast climbers supporting the operation. MBSpecialabbruch developed a special construction to lift the RDB100 demolition machine to the demolition zone. In the lifting construction, four winches from Tractel were used. With their help, MB Specialabbruch brought the machine safely up to the top. After preparations, the RDB machine was moved horizontally from the Scanclimbermast climber to the demolition zone to perform the work The last 80 meters of the chimney was collapsed by removing one of the cooling tower support pillars with a remote-controlled excavator. Before the collapse, the chimney structure was cut into exactly calculated collapsible slices. Challenges Dismantling a cooling tower of this size presented several challenges. One of the challenges was to prevent debris from falling on the neighbouring nuclear plant facilities. To prevent debris from falling into the adjacent nuclear facility, MB Specialabbruch installed two Scanclimber SC5000 Mast Climbing Work Platforms on opposite sides of the cooling tower. These two machines provided the project support and safe transportation of personnel and materials. After many difficulties, the demolition of the cooling tower was completed from a height of 163.5 m to 80 m, safely and without accidents. Finally, on August 9, 2019, the remains of the cooling tower came tumbling down.   Project Facts   Location Mülheim-Kärlich, Germany Project timelines 2016 - 2019 Height of the cooling tower 162 m Project type Demolition of a nuclear plant Machines used SC5000 Main contractor MB Specialabbruch #### Muuraus Nahkala, bricklaying using our strongest mast climber, the SC10000 The student housing organization KOAS, is building new student housing in the city of Jyväskylä, in central Finland. It aims to provide 160 new apartments for students studying in the city. Background Student housing in Finland aims to provide affordable rental apartments for students. These apartments come in a variety of shapes and sizes to cater to student needs. Jyväskylä is a medium-sized Finnish city of 140,000+ residents. The city is home to over 20,000 students in higher education at the University of Jyväskylä and JAMK – the Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences. Student housing organization KOAS KOAS is a student housing organization in Jyväskylä. It currently has 28 student apartment buildings, providing housing to over 4000 students. An increased influx of students into the city has increased demand for student housing and thus KOAS is now building a new apartment building to meet these requirements. KOAS’s new student housing project – Harju KOAS’s newest student housing project is set for completion by the end of 2019 and is expected to host its first tenants in December. The project consists of two separate buildings totalling 160 apartments - 136 studio apartments and 24 two-room apartments. The new apartment buildings’ name ”Harju” is Finnish for ”ridge”. This is because the buildings are located near the Jyväskylä ridge, formed during the ice age. This area functions as a park, and enjoys a great view over the city. The construction project KOAS has been building new student apartment buildings for the past few years to meet the increasing demand for student apartments. The KOAS Harju construction project was initiated by its main contractor, Pohjola Rakennus, in May 2018. It is due for completion by December 2019. The construction site is located near Jyväskylä city centre and the Jyväskylä ridge outdoors area. Centum SC10000 used for bricklaying The Centum SC10000 is our strongest mast climbing work platform to date. It is designed for heavy-duty facade work and for projects requiring a larger platform size at demanding heights. Its maximum loading capacity with a single mast is 6,000kg with a platform length of 4.1 meters – but with a twin mast setup, its lifting capacity can exceed 10,000kg with a platform length of 15.8m. As can be seen, this mast climbing work platform truly offers fantastic working efficiency. The project’s subcontractor, Muuraus Nahkala, used the Centum SC10000 for bricklaying work. Muuraus Nahkala chose the SC10000 for this project due to its long reach, heavy lifting capacity and available extensions. As can be seen in the photos and project video show, the facade will be of a light-coloured brick, which blends in well with the surrounding buildings. The construction project also employed two Maxus SC5000s for facade work. Customer feedback Muuraus Nahkala’s general manager, Janne Nahkala, has experienced the benefits of using mast climbers before, as in the Attendo Kultakehrä bricklaying project. This is what he had to say about our mast climbers: They (the mast climbers) make working easier. The working height is better and there is nothing blocking your view on the wall. This way you can access the wall much better and always work at a height of your own choosing.   Project Facts   Location Jyväskylä, Finland Project timelines May 2018 - Dec. 2019 Building height 24 m Number of floors 7 floors and 8 floors Owner KOAS Building type Residential building Machines used 1 x SC10000, 2 x SC5000 Subcontractor Muuraus Nahkala Main contractor Pohjola Rakennus Group #### Noise cancellation innovations for a renovation project at Blue Horizon, Frankfurt In the heart of Frankfurt 2.8 meter high noise cancellation panels were used with Scanclimber MCWPs on renovation project of old office building. Background The metropolis of Frankfurt, the largest city in the German federal state of Hesse and financial hub of the country, faces increasing demands for residential buildings. As a direct result of this trend, an office tower in Frankfurt has been remodeled as a residential apartment tower, the Blue Horizon and Scanclimber played a major role in it. This building is a stone’s throw away from the famous exhibition center. It comprises 120 apartments with an approximate living space of 9000 m2. The 19-storey building has some spectacular views as you ascend towards the top floor. The Project On the face of it, this is a fully-fledged remodeling project, where an old office building is being converted for residential use. However, the job at hand entails numerous steps such as: Removing the old concrete elements Removing the windows Fastening insulation elements: drilling holes and inserting dowels in them. Filling up the gap between the façade’s pilasters using mesh Plastering the walls Tiling the walls. Challenges This is a building remodeling project where an old office structure will be converted to a residential apartment building. The job at hand was to remove the old precast façade elements in one piece and then install dowels, windows and bricks into the façade. The main challenges in this project are not the building height or vertical access. Removing the old (and heavy) precast concrete elements and storing them on a stable platform Inserting hundreds of insulating elements into the façade by drilling holes while protecting the surroundings from noise pollution Installing new large windows and tiles on to the façade with as few anchoring interferences as possible. Mitigating noise at construction sites has become increasingly important in current day practices. Activities like drilling result in a considerable amount of noise at a construction site. This aspect wasn’t a major concern in the past as the residents back then accepted construction site noise as unavoidable. Scanclimber’s solution After a thorough R&D process, Scanclimber has come up with a platform model that tackles the aspect of noise cancellation. Removing old façade elements and storing them on a platform requires heavy payload capacities, which is why Scanclimber’s SC8000 mast climbers were used for this job. A total of 10 MCWPs were used for this project: five SC8000 units and five SC5000 units. The anchoring points were on the beams inside the buildings which were accessed through the window gaps. While installing new windows, the anchors were removed. The MCWPs were installed with wooden panels lined with noise absorbing material. These panels are 2.8 m in height (which is the height of each floor). Conclusion On the face of it, this renovation project may sound rather straightforward in nature, but on closer inspection, one cannot help but notice that height safety and vertical access are not the only challenges concerning high rise buildings. Considering the number of individual tasks this project entailed, calling it tedious is not an understatement. In spite the challenges, such as removing the old façade elements and storing them on the platform, mitigating the noise while carrying out drilling operations and installing new windows, Scanclimber achieved the set objectives with great precision and creative solutions.   Project Facts   Project timelines March 2017- December 2018 Building height 70 m2 Number of floors 19 Number of apartments 120 Machines used SC8000, SC5000 No. of Units (MCWP) 10 (5 x SC5000, 5 x SC8000) Special features Noise cancellation panels Dimensions of the noise cancellation panels 2.8 m height (equal to the height of a floor) Main contractor UNMUSSIG #### Window and facade installation using MCWPs at the Clarion Hotel, Helsinki The Clarion Hotel Helsinki is a 16-storey building including two towers, the highest being at the height of 78 meters. Scanclimber contributed to this construction project with two SC5000 and one SC6000 mast climbing platforms and a SC1432 construction hoist. Mainly the mast climbing platforms were used for façade work of the hotel. Construction hoist SC1432 was deployed for quick and efficient transportation of material and labor inside the building. The Clarion hotel is part of the new West Harbour urban development project in the vicinity of Helsinki city center. The hotel is ideally located as the city centre is within walking distance. The hotel is part of the Nordic Choice hotel chain, comprising 164 hotels in the Nordic and other Baltic countries. The hotel is designed by Davidsson Tarkela Architects. The 1930's listed warehouse buildings, designed by Lars Sonck, are also integrated as a part of the new Clarion Hotel Helsinki. The Clarion hotel complex consists of two towers. The highest tower reaches up 78 meters while the second tower is 68.5 meters high. A transparent glass footbridge connects both towers. Light composite aluminium plates were used for the façade. The hotel have 425 luxury rooms and a convention center able to accommodate 1000 people. Additionally, there is a roof bar on the top of the building which is open to the public. A Norwegian construction company, Hent AS, was the main project contractor and the Finnish rental company Cramo, delivered Scanclimber mast climbing work platforms and hoists for the project. Challenges The location of the Clarion Hotel presented its own challenges during the construction phase. The work site stands adjacent the main road of Jätkäsaari, with high traffic flows of ferry passengers and lorries leaving the Länsisatama harbour. The area is close to Helsinki city center and remains a constantly busy location. Because of the space constraints, a vertical transport medium was needed which could be installed and operated efficiently within the limited space available. Scanclimber SC5000 and SC6000 mast climbing platforms were chosen for the facade work. They were capable in single mast versions of covering the whole length of the façade on each side of the structure. Also, the erection of the machines for the façade work was a demanding exercise due to the very limited space at ground level. The location of the work site is a busy public area between the main road and the seafront. In fact, one of the mast climbing platforms on the front face of the building was erected just over the local bus stop. Naturally, safety was the major concern, not only for the workers but for pedestrians passing by out in the street. This public and work safety was achieved in two ways: Manufacturing the machines to high standards of safety ensuring a zero accident ratio at any kind of work site, whether a residential building or a highly complicated structure. Extra strong Maxi anchoring to the building ensured the stability of the working platforms at heights, thus ensuring a high work safety factor. A strong, taut sheet was laid over the area outside the part of the work site exposed to the public. This ensured public safety, eliminating any possibility of danger to people in case of tools or material falling from the platform during the façade installation phase. Window Installation and Material Transportation Cramo delivered the Clarion Hotel project with 3 Scanclimber mast climbing platforms, 2 of them SC5000's, one SC6000 and one construction hoist SC1432. Mast climbing platforms were used for façade and window installation work at the hotel. The tower crane lifted the façade elements from ground level to the attachment position, where they were mounted by workers operating from SC5000 and SC6000 mast climbing platforms. A hoist was required at the site to accelerate work on the building interiors, in parallel to the façade work. A Scanclimber SC1432 construction hoist was used for the efficient transportation of material and labor inside the building.

Scanclimber delivered its mast climbing snake platform, allowing the customer to complete the whole job in just one month. Introduction Reliance industries Limited is the largest private sector company in India. It owns businesses in many sectors, ranging from telecommunications to textiles One of their many businesses includes a petrochemical plant in Nagothana, a small town in the state of Maharashtra, India. The plant has a 100 m chimney in need of renovation. In previous years, they tried many techniques, including scaffolding, but couldn’t reach higher than 40 m. Scanclimber’s innovative snake platform solved their problem by reaching the target height safely and enabled them to complete the task in just one month. Challenges In this project they had two major challenges, because of which, no other technique proved successful. Pipelines enveloped the chimney surface, leaving no space for machinery on the site. Any solution required installation at at least 15 m above ground level to clear the pipes. Severe lack of ground level space at the site. Scanclimber’s snake platform Considering the challenges of the work site setup, there was a clear need for a machine that could either be installed at a given height or the setup somehow needed to be changed at the ground station. Scanclimber’s mast climbing snake platform was the only solution left to complete this kind of project. Scanclimber’s SC8000 with snake platform attachment was proposed in this case by Access Platform Equipment Limited (APEL). In order to avoid the obstacles at the site regarding machine installation from ground level, the masts were first assembled up to a height of 15 m. Once erected, the SC8000 was then installed with snake platforms at the top of the masts, avoiding the ground level clutter. Once the mast climbing platform was installed, snake platforms were assembled covering half the chimney facade at a time. Afterwards, the platform was safely anchored along the chimney to 100 m in height. Additional benefits Apart from meeting the challenges of installing the machine at the site, applying Scanclimber’s solution presented additional benefits. Firstly, this saved a considerable amount of time for the customer because using this snake platform, it only took them one month to complete the work on the 100-meter-high chimney while ensuring personnel safety. Secondly, there was no need to remove, replace, cut or weld any of the existing structure despite the many obstacles to installation. One unique aspect of this project was that there were actually no other competitors to Scanclimber on this project. Customer Feedback Pleased with the efficiency and convenience of using Scanclimber snake platforms, the head of construction at the site had this to say: Choosing Scanclimber for this project paid off and we were happy to complete this of 100-meter job in just 30 days flat. Without any hiccups. Project details It took one year for the customer to accept this solution because for Scanclimber this was a new geographical market area. Once the solution was adopted, it proved highly beneficial for the customer. The platform delivery, installation to the chimney and the maintenance services for the MCWP were provided by Access Platform Equipment Limited (APEL). APEL is one of the largest players in the rentals of access equipment including Scanclimber Mastclimbers, Construction & Material Hoists in India. Project Facts   MCWP used SC8000 with snake platforms Height achieved 100 m Negotiations started June 2013 Order date November 2014 Shipment date March 2015 Erection April 2015 Trial period 3 days Usage period May 2015 #### Scanclimber MCWPs crafting new looks for water tower, Lahti, Finland Lahti’s water tower, with its bright new-looking façade, stands tall and gives a spectacular view of the city from the top. The tower’s facade was in real need of renovation and Scanclimber mast climbing work platforms with special extensions were put forward as the best solution for the project. History The Mustankallion water tower, Lahti, Finland, used to be the city’s main reservoir. The tower dates from 1963. It is 50 metres high with tank capacity of 1000 cubic metres. In 1990, a panoramic café was opened at the top of the tower, later converted to a sauna and conference room, which offer an amazing view of the city and surroundings. Today, the tower is owned by Lahti Aqua, which is responsible for water services in the city. Introduction The reinforced concrete water tower was built with a huge wooden frame and a fibre cement board facade. Fibre cement board was a very common facade material in Finland in the 60’s and 70’s but contained a 20% asbestos content. The tower interior was renovated in 2004 but the exterior was untouched from its construction. Over time, the facade panels became outdated and loose, some even falling off. A total facade renovation was needed. The construction contract was given to Skanska Infra and suitable machines were required. Help came from Hämeen Rakennuskone Oy, a Finnish plant hire company, which has various Scanclimber hoists and mast climbing work platforms in its fleet. The renovation was carried out according to the Finnish National Board of Antiquities and Historical Monuments regulations, which means that the facade look cannot be changed. Challenges Considering the structure of the water tower, the renovation project was tricky as it required special machine configurations to access the entire facade. The major project challenges were: Long anchors and platform extensions Huge wooden-framed, cone-shaped facade shell There were no structural drawings available for the tower With no structural drawings available and to access the huge wooden cone-shaped facade shell, there was a need for some exceptional machine configuration. In order to complete this project, long anchors and platform extensions were needed. Platform Solutions Together with Scanclimber experts Hämeen Rakennuskone and Skanska found the best solution. To complete this renovation task, two specially configured Scanclimber SC5000 mast climbing work platforms were selected. The platform configuration included the use of both: Snake platforms (adjustable hinged platform system) and Telescopic extensions (platform side extensions). The goal is to allow the platform to follow the facade contours. Additionally, both of the mast climbers had to be repositioned constantly as the renovation work progressed. Anchoring A unique feature in this project was the special anchoring distance and anchoring spacing for the mast climbing platforms. The first anchor was mounted at a height of 23 m where the distance to the tower was 8.5 m. To ensure rigidity, the mast sections of Scanclimber’s material hoist were used for anchoring. In order to reach the top of the facade shell, a long space between the anchors was needed. The second anchor was mounted at the top of the concrete water tank at 45 m. The extra-long space between the anchors obviously required extra strong anchoring parts. The configuration was designed by Scanclimber experts. Customer Feedback After project completion, Supervisor Mikael Vuorijärvi from Skanska said: Even though the mast climbing work platforms had to be moved several times to complete this project, this method was still much cheaper and more efficient than scaffolding.

Scanclimber MCWP’s ensure optimal ergonomics and high efficiency in the facade bricklaying work. History Keimola is well known for its motor racing stadium located in Vantaa, Southern Finland. The stadium had a rich history, hosting several international racing championships from 1966 to 1978. The race track was also used for music festivals. Over the years, the complete closure of the track resulted in its deterioration. Some structures were left standing, like the control tower which was seriously damaged in a fire in 2004 but restored as a memorial to the race track. Development Plan It was decided to develop a residential area on the site. The whole Keimolanmäki residential area project could take more than a decade. In the first stage, Skanska was given the project for constructing 131 housing units. Brick, laid by Polar Muuraus Oy, was chosen for the facade material. The development plan for these 131 housing units includes construction of two new apartment buildings comprising 8-10 floors and a single storey outbuilding. Construction work began in December, 2014 and will be completed in October-November, 2016. Scanclimber MCWP & its key advantages Once the building foundations for were laid and the structure was built, there was a need for a way to carry out the facade bricklaying work. Scaffolding was an option but a Scanclimber MCWP was deemed the most feasible solution available. Here Scanclimber SC5000 & SC8000 were chosen for the job. The key advantages that Scanclimber MCWP offered the bricklaying process were: Work ergonomics Scanclimber MCWP focuses on maximum productivity with minimal worker fatigue. Bricks were loaded on to the platform, which moved along the facade. The bricks were within easy reach of the bricklayers. This resulted in reduced material handling and transport time and greatly improved productivity. Accessibility to the façade surface With the use of a Scanclimber work platform, a whole side of the building facade was accessed at one time without undue effort as the platform could be extended by adding more platform sections. The platform sections are easy to mount to the existing platform. High lifting capacity One of the key features of Scanclimber work platforms is their lifting capacity. The lifting capacity range of the platforms is 1300-8000 kg. In this case, SC8000 & SC5000 were used; both heavy duty mast climbing work platforms with a lifting capacity of nearly 8000 kg and 5000 kg respectively. Such high capacity allowed workers to load the platform evenly with bricks. In one trip the workers had enough bricks available on the platform to work without interruptions. Movability of bricks The platforms were integrated with Scanclimber lifting table LT500 at ground level on the Keimola construction site. The workers filled the single wheel trolley with bricks at the ground station and moved the trolley to the lifting table, which raised the level to the working platform. This practice saved extensive physical effort in material transportation. This integration of platforms with the LT500 resulted in the highly-efficient movement of the bricks. Customer feedback Although the customer is already familiar with the value and efficiency that Scanclimber machines bring to such projects, the contractor’s team, including the site manager, praised them highly. While discussing the project with our marketing manager, he remarked: We are glad that we upgraded our fleet with Scanclimber MCWP’s. When I got to know this bricklaying stage and façade work, a Scanclimber MCWP was the first thing that came to my mind.   Project Facts   MCWP's used SC5000 & SC8000 No. of units used 3 Payload of MCWP 5000 kg and 8000 kg Project beginning December, 2014 Project completion November, 2016 Main use of the machine Bricklaying on building’s facade #### OP-Pohjola building shines in Vallila 3The OP Financial Group is Finland’s largest financial services group. This major OP-Pohjola project in Vallila consisted of renovating and building offices for the Group’s use. This project included the employment of 3 000 personnel altogether. The new building covers an area of slightly over 60 000 m2 and the combined floorage is 132 000 m2. Scanclimber had a key role to play in the successful construction of this versatile model, which after completion won a LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certificate. Challenges The new building was a modular architectural design, enhancing the overall use of space by up to 30%. Operating costs were reduced by 25%. Such an innovative design presented certain challenges during construction. The inclined facade at angle of 11º required the installation of a suitable working platform. A solution was required that could cover the long side of the facade with minimal platform repositioning. This would allow work to be carried out on all sides of the building simultaneously and reduce stoppages. Transportation of material inside the building required a different solution than an MCWP. Inclined facades The architecture of the new building was innovative and consisted of the building sides tilting outwards at an 11° degree angle. The biggest challenge was to mount a work platform along these inclined facades. It was important that construction workers could utilise the platform to maximise efficiency. Scanclimber developed installation techniques and the most feasible solution was to insert a wooden slab under the wheel chassis of an MCWP, allowing it to stand along the facade. Then a stronger anchoring method was used to secure the platform along the facade. Afterwards the platform was levelled with an adjustable plywood deck, so that the platform floor was in line with the levels. Twin mast platforms With the facade of the building tilting at 11°, the only way to achieve a high lifting capacity with an MCWP was to use twin mast platforms. Using twin mast platforms had certain benefits. Firstly, maximum facade surface was accessible at one time to increase productivity. Secondly, this configuration also helped to meet the completion deadlines, thus promoting efficient project management. Payload requirement A project of this scale requires a hoist which can be used for material transportation and has a high payload capability. The MCWP’s were able to carry a weight of over 2000 kg but they were carrying facade material, whereas here the requirement was to transport material inside the building. The requirements were assessed and a Scanclimber H65 Wega hoist was suggested. These are heavy duty and start from a carrying capacity of 1800 kg. This fulfilled the requirements of material and worker transportation inside the building. Equipment used The OP-Pohjola project was one of a kind; large scale and with a unique design demanding different equipment configurations. Scanclimber assessed the situation and provided the solution using: 2 Scanclimber Wega Hoists; model: SC1837F-65 4 Scanclimber MCWP’s; model: SC5000 twin mast units (1 used for inclined facade, 3 on long sides) #### Radisson Blu: Scanclimber restoring highest Latvian hotel Radisson Blu Hotel Latvia dates back to the early 1960s when the idea emerged to build a 10-storey hotel for a Russian travel agency. This agency was titled as ‘Intourist’ which was responsible for managing the foreigners’ tourism within the Soviet Union. The specifications of the project though kept changing with time from 10 floors to 23 and finally up to 27. With a height of 98 meters, Hotel Latvia is the largest hotel in the country till date. Since the first construction of this building was completed by 1976, the structure was outdated and needed complete overhaul. It was decided that instead of renovation, the whole edifice must be rebuild. Reconstruction was carried out in two phases where the first phase was completed in 2001 and second by 2006. Problem Even though the reconstruction was completed after 30 years of its establishment, the insulation of the building was substandard and there was a strong need of re-insulating the whole structure. For that purpose, the contractors needed certain lifting equipment to carry out the whole operation. The work platforms offered by Scanclimber® were considered as they could provide an efficient solution under such circumstances. The consultation process with the contractor regarding this project was initiated on 28th May, 2014. The challenges There were certain complications on the construction site and there was a need for a technical solution that could address all these issues. These problems are described below, The platform was needed to be installed on the roof of the entry floor (No information about loading capacity of the roof) Scaffolding looked too dangerous because of weak roofing material and intense wind Lack of space because of the overloaded site. The Solutions Platform Installation on Roof of Entrance Block The structure of Radisson Blu was in a way that the entrance section was a different block built on the ground level linked with the 27-storey building. The work needed to be performed in the project required the platform installation on the roof of the entrance block. Since it was old construction originally, the loading capacity of the entrance roof was unknown. Thus the solution needed to be lightweight yet was required to be efficient. Scanclimber product portfolio contained lightweight work platform which reduced any possibility of weight overload for the roof. Scaffolding Looked Dangerous Scaffolding was one option by which the work could be performed. It was used to carry out work for the first 5 floors as well but it looked very dangerous because of weak roofing material and strong wind. Thus, undetermined danger and risk intensity of scaffolding required the necessity of other platform where Scanclimber work platform provided a safer and feasible solution. Lack of Space (Overloaded Site) The location of Radisson Blu is such that it is established in the heart of Riga. Since the building was already constructed and the entrance roof was overloaded with the material needed to be replaced inside, lack of space caused a lot of problems. Scanclimber work platforms once erected take least of space at the foundation so it is easier to manage the material at the site. Bringing in Scanclimber’s Solutions The customers wanted to take Scanclimber’s lightweight mast climbing work platform and based on the project specifications and site conditions, Scanclimber proposed one SC3500L mast climbing work platform. This work platform could go as high as 81 meters which were going to be moved along the façade with the help of a mobile crane. Scanclimber successfully provided the solution regarding the project. The fact that they could provide lighter MCWP (Mast Climbing Work Platform) along with the active technical consultation to the customer was majorly the reason why Scanclimber was preferred over other competitors. Also, since Scanclimber products are designed with premium quality and safety standards, this solution was safer under windy conditions when compared to scaffolding. Special Features One of the special features in this project was building the supporting construction below the work platform chassis to spread the load on the roof construction. This was though built by the customer themselves but the technical consultation was provided by Scanclimber experts. Feedback In the beginning of the project, there were some difficulties like approval from local authorities at Riga for the continuation of the project. Even with such problems and constant changes in time schedule, the results of using the SC3500L proved to be highly beneficial for the customer at the end. While talking to our Marketing Manager, they were praising the services offered by Scanclimber throughout the project, The efficient solution combined with dynamic technical assistance provided by (Scanclimber), this was practically the only possibility to complete the project.

During the extensive renovation, the water supply network has been left without a high level water tank to equalise the pressure. History The water tower was built over 80 years ago and had become dilapidated. The tower was designed by the architect Lars Sonck, perhaps the best-known Finnish architect of the national romantic period. Many different kinds of buildings designed by Lars Sonck were built in the 1930s–40s, but even though Sonck created seven different designs for water towers, only three of them were ever built. In addition to Pietarsaari, Sonck's water towers can be found in Rauma and Hyvinkää. The idea of renovating the water tower had been under way for a long time and, at the end of 2012, preparations were started and a renovation report was ordered from the engineering office IdeaStructura Oy. At the end of 2013 when the budget for the City of Pietarsaari was being drawn up, the decision to renovate the water tower was made. The tower has both cultural and historical significance as an essential part of the Pietarsaari cityscape, and it also has a functional purpose in equalising the pressure in the Pietarsaari water system, says Markku Valkonen, Managing Director of the Pietarsaaren Vesi waterworks. The 84-year-old tower in Pietarsaari was cast-in-situ on a hill. There are ring beams around the ferroconcrete columns, supporting a water tank of 500 cubic metres and stiffening the brick walls built on site. The bricks were imported from Poland nearly 90 years ago, and they have weathered the wind and the snow rather well. The work begins The construction company Rakennusliike A. Salonen from Kokkola is responsible for the renovation. The work began in May–June. Asko Reinikainen acted as site manager at the construction site. Ramirent delivered the work platforms to the construction site in July. Lightning conductors were installed at the end of July. Ramirent delivered scaffolding, mast climbing work platforms and scissor lifts to the construction site. Cooperation with Ramirent worked very well. Everything has worked out great with Ramirent, and I'd give the highest grades to Marko Nissinen at Ramirent in Kokkola, says Reinikainen. After the water tank was emptied, it was found to be in a much better condition than expected. Mast climbers instead of scaffolding The original plan was to use scaffolding to repair the tower, but because the site manager at the construction site had had good experiences with mast climbers, the scaffolding was exchanged for two SC5000 mast climbing work platforms. This measure saved an estimated two months of time and avoided the need to work in mid-winter. It is likely that schedules would have failed, if scaffolding had been used. When asked about why the decision to use mast climbers was made, Reinikainen answered: There were many reasons, and the most important was occupational safety. Mast climbers have an excellent feature: the working height can be adjusted precisely, which was especially important in the chipping and drilling work. In addition, by using extensions the work platform could be adjusted to match the outer radius of the tower exactly. Inside the tower, the water tank made of ferroconcrete was inspected and resurfaced. The pipes were inspected using a robotic camera to assess the need for repairs. Interior work too It was also possible to make significant use of the mast climbers in the work done inside the tower. The mast climbers were used to transport the jackhammers and hydro demolition machines up and pass the hoses through the windows. When shotcreting, the machines and materials were first transported up using the mast climbers, and the hoses were used to pump the concrete to the location. Mast climbers were used in a variety of ways in renovating the Pietarsaari water tower: removing construction waste, transporting materials up and down, removing the material inside the tank, and surfacing the tank (the mixers and bags were on the work platform). Of course, the mast climbers were also used in the exterior work: masonry, removal and installation of the columns, grouting, removal of windows and glass bricks, as well as the removal and construction of the steel roof. The work was organised in shifts so that one machine was used for exterior work while the other was used for the interior. The upper section of the façade, which had been exposed to the weather, needed renovating. The roof and window flashing had to be replaced too. In addition, the water tank had to be cleaned and surfaced and the pipes had to be checked. During the very thorough renovation, the damaged doors, windows, concrete columns, railing structures and the bricks and seams in bad condition on the façade were repaired or replaced, and the steel roof was replaced. Mast climbers were utilised during several stages Regarding the usefulness of mast climbers in the renovation, Asko Reinikainen says: It increased efficiency by a great deal in the exterior work. The machine was a great help in the work done on the interior of the tank. The mortar stations and bags could be taken up and the pumping could be done easily straight from the work platform. In the same way, the quality of work could be assessed easily on the work platform, Reinikainen adds. But there were also unforeseen issues: Because the tower is narrower at the top, the work platform had to be fitted to the upper section, and the work on the lower section had to be done using scissor lifts. The mast climbers were used in the range of 10 m – 50 m The decision to use mast climbers was made after the final calculation phase when the contract negotiations were started. According to the estimate of Rakennusliike A. Salonen, the time saved compared to the use of scaffolding was two months. Two days were needed to move the mast climbers. They were only moved once. When talking about occupational safety, Reinikainen touches wood and says: There have been 0 workplace accidents at this site! The mast climbers played their own part in it. At the construction site, occupational safety has been issue number one at the site meetings. Everyone had their own personal harness and wore it at all times. #### IB Tower, a unique landmark of Kuala Lumpur, is standing tall The Petronas Twin Towers are not the only high rise buildings in the city of Kuala Lumpur. There are several other tall buildings in the city which exceed 200 meters – the IB tower will be one of them. The estimated year of completion of the tower was the end of 2014. Upon completion it is the fourth tallest building in Malaysia. The Project Designed by Sir Norman Foster of London, the IB Tower consists of 60 floors of offices, services and apartments. It is located along Jalan Binjai, near the Kuala Lumpur Conventional Centre (KLCC). The tower’s stunning design, which is striking and visually appealing, will be hard to overlook when travelling on the main roads in the city. Scanclimber’s partner in South-East Asia, Scan-Rent Sdn Bhd Malaysia was awarded the contract to supply Mast Climbing Work Platforms for the cladding work on the IB Tower building in July 2013. The initial platforms were shipped in June 2013 and dismantling started in December 2014. In the initial phase the contractors were considering suspended platforms and scaffolding to perform cladding work, but after discussions with Scan-Rent, this possibility was rejected and it was decided to go with Scanclimber’s advanced MCWP solution. The challenges In the first phases of negotiations we were facing some serious questions in the IB Tower project: The Height: the building is very high (275 meters) and has a specially designed shape The Location: Kuala Lumpur City Center is very crowded, congested and there is very limed space for loading and unloading The Cladding Panels: the 6 meter long, vertically slanting cladding panels were very heavy and big, which made the use of suspended platforms and scaffolding practically impossible These primary reasons, coupled with Scan-Rent’s 18-years of experience with high rise buildings and the possibility to use two MCWPs on same mast, were the key reasons behind the customer choosing Scanclimber MCWP products for the project. We still had a problem regarding the long anchoring distance requirement of 34 meters which was required for first 9 levels and also from level 37 to level 43. The Solution Instead of suspended platforms and scaffolding, the customer decided to use Mast Climbing Work Platforms. Key reasons for choosing MCWPs were: improved work safety, possibility to drive two platforms on a single mast, speed of erection, unobstructed access, possibility to transport heavy cladding panels precisely to the installation position and speed of the platforms. The installation at the IB Tower included: 40 units of Scanclimber Kosmos SC4000 platforms were shipped, which are installed on 22 masts 4 masts with one platform per mast 18 masts with two platforms per mast Tallest mast: 275 m Total length of the mast: 6 000 meters on a single building Total quantity of the mast sections: 4840 pieces (1250mm x 700mm x 700mm) 6 kilometers of power cable = 24 000 kilograms Huge projects mean huge and increasing figures and volumes. At present there are 3800 mast sections at the IB Tower work site, but the number is increasing (to 4840) as the construction and cladding advances. The total weight of the power cable is 24 tons. The cables are 90, 150 and 300 meters long. Since speeds are 6 and 12 meters/min, it takes 23 minutes to reach the top with the faster machine and 46 minutes with the slower one. The total weight of the mast sections is 396 880 kilograms. It takes 55 truckloads to transport the mast sections to and from the site = 110 truckloads in total. And that is just the mast sections. The anchoring question was solved with the triple anchoring system, which made the 34 meters distance between the anchors possible. Customer and our comments and experiences on the project so far So far the project has been running smoothly and very few unexpected problems or questions have arisen. Below we have compiled the comments and feedback on the project from both our partner and the customer. Positive: The customer has been very happy with the Mast Climber installation. Especially how they helped in installation of the heavy and large (6 meters in length) vertically slanting cladding panels by using multi-platform systems The MCWPs have been very reliable, with a very small number of technical troubles Ease of use of a Multi-platform system (two MCWPs on one mast) The speed of 12m/min machines Quality drawings and calculations have been very good. On the customer side, there has not been a single time that they have wanted to discuss the technical solution The cabling solution: 300 m of height and two machines on one mast -- no technical issues Negative: Logistics: the site is in the busy center of KL, we have a time slot between 10 AM to 5 PM to load and unload the trucks and cement trucks always get higher priority Erections of the machines: 70% of the mast erections are done manually since the crane is mostly occupied with other tasks   #### Hotel Stadt Lörrach stands tall, thanks to Scanclimber’s efficient solutions Mast climbing work platforms, in tandem with monorail lifting equipment, provided an efficient solution for the demanding façade element installation work at Hotel Stadt Lörrach. Lörrach is situated in south-west Germany, near the border with France and Switzerland. Though the city is culturally and economically significant and boasts some rich historical monuments, Lörrach had only a few three-star hotels but no four-star hotel - for which there was a need. It is expected to benefit the city’s development plans and to increase tourism in the area. Project Summary The foundations of Hotel Stadt Lörrach were laid in 2014 with completion set for 2016. The construction of this four-star plus hotel was planned for a site on a main avenue adjacent to Lörrach railway station, near the city center. Upon completion, Hotel Stadt Lörrach would be a 20-storey building, hosting 221 rooms. The construction budget runs to around one million euros per floor, excluding exterior design. Challenge The construction site, being on a main avenue, presented a major challenge concerning the lack of operational space available. There was a requirement to lift high volumes of material and personnel to accelerate the construction process once the main structure was erected. Scanclimber provided safe and reliable transportation hoists and platforms. The machines took less space and installation time as compared to scaffolding. Lifting the heavy façade elements in to position posed an additional challenge. It was not possible to lift these elements, along with personnel and tools, using Scanclimber MCWP’s. Ultimately, Scanclimber delivered monorails which facilitated lifting the façade elements. These monorails were installed around the building’s rooftop. Use of Monorail Apart from Scanclimber mast climbing work platforms and construction hoists, monorails were also used on this project. The monorails were attached at the top of each side of the building. The monorail payload capacity was 500 kg. The monorail hoists’ vertical travel was controlled remotely for lifting the façade elements. Horizontal travel was done manually. The workers slid the façade elements, attached to the monorail above, to their attachment position. The monorail was able to move along the top of each side, helping to cover the whole façade. This enabled considerably easier manhandling of the heavy façade elements. Three twin monorails covered three sides of the building from the top while two single monorails were attached on top of the fourth side, on which hoists were also installed. Combination of Monorail and Scanclimber MCWP’s The special feature of this project was the coordinated use of mast climbing work platforms with the monorail system. The working procedure at the construction site was such that first the mast climbing platform was loaded with 4-5 façade elements at ground level and three people on the platform. Typically, two of the workers were involved in the installation of the façade elements. The third person on the platform was usually the worksite manager, controlling the monorail and platform. This work process coordination resulted in greater efficiency, as the movement of monorail and platform needed to be synchronized. The installation process for the façade elements was as follows, The façade element was fastened to the monorail winches Monorail was then used to lift the façade element The façade element was then aligned and placed in its attachment position The platform was then lowered or raised so that it was at the correct height for workers to attach the elements The monorail and platform had to be manoeuvred in a way that required the least effort in manhandling the heavy façade elements for alignment and installation. The whole façade installation process was a fine example of work ergonomics and preciseness to get the job done with minimum effort. Scanclimber’s Machinery Used In December 2015, Scanclimber Wega hoist, SC2032 was erected. After its successful erection, another hoist was added to the mast making it a twin-hoists configuration. A month later in January, 2016, a total of eight Scanclimber SC4000 and SC5000 mast climbing platforms were installed with monorails at rooftop level. Hotel Lörrach Stadt is located in the busiest part of the city and should readily attract tourists and businesspeople. The construction costs of this project were significant due to its location. Thomas Schwind, advisor to the owner said, each floor will cost at least a million euros. This did not include anything except the 20 floors, with exterior design and other stages adding further to costs. The association of such high costs with this project increased the importance of Scanclimber solutions to an even larger extent. This is a result of which we had initially not dared to dream of, said Peter Külby by architects Külby + Külby, Lörrach. Scanclimber is proud to be a part of a new era for the city after the completion of this project, in terms of development, infrastructure and tourism.   Project Facts   Project Beginning September, 2014 Project Completion December, 2016 Construction hoists used SC2032(Twin) Work platforms used 8 x SC4000/SC5000 Monorails used 3 twin and 2 single Payload Capacity of Monorail 500 kg Max. working height 65 meters Work platforms main purpose Façade and window installation Building Details 20-Story and four-star plus hotel, No of rooms: 221 #### Skiing on waste-to-energy plant at Amager Bakke Mast climbers played an important role in the Amager Bakke façade work. Amager Bakke is a state-of-the-art waste to energy plant, one of the best in the world in terms of efficiency and environmental impact. The plant is equipped with two furnace lines and a joint turbine and generator system. A special feature is a ski slope on top of the plant. The Amager Bakke waste-to-energy plant The plant produces energy from 400 000 tonnes of waste annually from up to 700 000 residents and at least 46 000 companies. It will become possibly Copenhagen’s most notable recreation destination, with a 400 m artificial rooftop ski slope running from its 85 m peak down to ground level, and incorporates a climbing wall of the same height. The building measures: 200 m in length, 70 m in width and 124 m in height, including the stack. Supplies a minimum of 50 000 households with electricity and 120 000 households with heating. Utilises 100 % of the fuel’s energy content, has a 28 % electrical efficiency rate, reduces sulphur emissions by 99.5 % and minimises NOx emissions to a tenth of the former plant’s. The Amager Resource Centre plant will burn 70 tonnes of waste every hour. Architects’ view The architects from Bjarke Ingels architect office had a multi-dimensional view of the plant design. The inside was designed to be the waste-to-energy plant, the ‘roof’ a ski slope and the outside walls a landmark for Copenhagen. Complex façade At Amager Bakke, the façade covers 26 000 square meters, which equates to a huge number of elements and years in the making. The façade is made of two layers: 1) a base layer of 1.5 tonne sections, measuring 10 m x 2.5 m, and 2) a second brick layer, which serve as a visual element only. Sipral, a Czech company specialized in highly complex customized metal façades, won the contract to install the state-of-the-art brick-style frontage covering the whole building. The company prefabricated the façade elements but faced serious installation challenges. The challenges were eventually solved when it was decided to use a unique combination of mast climbers and a monorail hoist system. Sipral often installs façade elements from inside the building, but In the case of Amager Bakke this was not possible. There were massive vessels and miles of pipework inside the building. This forced Sipral to deliver the façade components to the exterior of the building and mount them from the outside. Fast delivery The contractual target for the façade installation time was eight months, a short time indeed considering all 26 000 square meters of surface, in two or practically three layers, that needed to be covered. The important thing was to create a solution that meant fast delivery of the façade package. That’s why we went with the mast climbing solution, said Michal Prokop, Sipral’s project manager for Amager Bakke. It’s a very complex building. The base is made of concrete but the upper structure is made of steel. The façade installation is the last part of the process; at first we thought some scaffolding could be erected inside but following negotiations, that solution was rejected, Mr Prokop continued. Welding onsite was not an option The original idea, before Sipral’s mast climber-monorail solution, was to weld each façade brick into place, one at a time. This would have lead to a complex installation project on site and in potentially extreme weather conditions that are part of everyday life in Copenhagen. Using prefabricated elements was a controlled solution, compared to the original welding plan, as the sections are produced in the factory, not onsite in windy and rainy conditions, said Mr Prokop. Mast climbers working with inclined monorails Eight mast climbers in total were working on the project. Machines were used together sequentially; Firstly in a 12 m strip from ground level, with one used to fix the brackets, onto which the 10 m sections were attached by the next mast climber in line. Then, starting from the top of the building and heading downward, the bricks were attached and the mast sections taken down. Working on two levels using the Sliding Deck Extension Because of the inclination of the building Sipral needed a special solution to access a higher level as they wanted to work on two levels on the platform at certain installation stages. The sliding decks on two floors provided the required working area while attaching the 10 m sections. Electric sliding deck extensions were chosen because they are quick to adjust and ‘time is money’, also in Denmark where labour costs are high. Sipral compared the time and the cost of electrically driven extension with manually adjustable extension and they went with the former because of the savings - and they wanted to meet the installation time target of eight months. The 1.5 tonne elements were delivered up by a Rostek inclined monorail system, which ran along the top of the building and lowered each section into place using a pair of winches. Sipral had to connect the façade elements to the inclined roof and attach a large handrail at the top of the roof where the load bearing structure is hidden, so you only see the bricks. Once you see the result you cannot envisage the time taken and the mast climber played a huge part in this - thanks to the sliding deck we had access to all the areas. Said Mr Prokop. He added, It would have been very difficult to use aerial work platforms, scaffolding or suspended access and this is what we evaluated as the most efficient way to do this. Partner Contribution: MCWP's: PLATFORM AS Platform AS, our Danish partner was responsible for assembly, erection and service of Scanclimber MCWP’s at Amager Bakke. Their availability and response at the site helped to avoid unnecessary stoppages. Façade Elements: SIPRAL AS Prefabrication and installation of the façade. Sipral, a Czech company specializing in the façade business, provided the aluminium façade elements bringing the uniqueness to Amager Bakke’s structure.   Project Facts   Negotiations Started 2014 Order Date July, 2015 Shipment Date 15th October 2015 MCWP Erection Date 27th, October 2015 Year of Project Completion 2017 SC product used Twin MCWP with Sliding Deck Extensions Work platforms used 8 x SC6000 Max Lifting Capacity 5600 kg Height Achieved Up to 86 meters Main Use of Scanclimber MCWP Access equipment for façade assembly Special Features of Project World’s first waste to energy plant with ski slope on top.

Scanclimber’s customized solution. #### Mast Climbing Work Platforms used on Frankfurt’s tallest skyscraper The Grand Tower in Frankfurt is the tallest residential building in Germany (2018). Scanclimber delivered 12 customised units of Monster SC8000, 2 units of Maxus SC5000 and 4 units of Kosmos SC4000 mast climbers for challenging facade work on this construction project. Frankfurt’s tallest skyscraper The Grand Tower is a huge residential apartment building in Frankfurt. Standing at an impressive height of 172 meters, it is the tallest residential building in Germany. Comprising 47 floors, the building has a total of 401 apartments ranging between 41 m2 -300 m2. Located in the heart of the city, the project includes many premium features such as a private sunset deck on the 43rd floor, a roof top garden of almost 1000 m2, lounges and swimming pools that resonate with the ambience of a five-star hotel. Being a part of this mega project is a matter of immense prestige for Scanclimber, considering the scale, location and complexity of the building design. This has been one of the most challenging assignments in terms of developing specialized additional configurations for the mastclimbers employed. Challenges The project includes installing balconies, and façade elements such as railings and glass panels that cover the balcony. This project entails many challenges with respect to vertical access due to the unusual layout of the building. The structure of the building is very irregular, with uneven surfaces and a number of corners and edges. Accessing every nook and corner on such a complicated design requires extremely specialized MCWP configurations. The balconies on which the majority of the work is done are not of the same size or evenly spaced. Installation of façade elements under and above the balcony construction presents its own challenge. There are many corners on the building that are inaccessible using standard MCWP configurations. Covering the height of 172 meters on a tight timeline requires a systemic change in vertical access solutions. When building such high structures, frequently moving platforms up and down can impact on efficiency. Platforms are also sometimes used to store uninstalled scaffolding and railings. Scanclimber has several kinds of platform extensions such as the SDE (Sliding deck extension) and ARE (All reach extension) that cope very well with spaces that are usually inaccessible. In this case however, the requirement exceeds the existing extensions’ capacity and reach. The solution After months of rigorous brainstorming, R & D and testing, Scanclimber’s innovative team came up with what can be called a showcase of customized and specialized solutions for this project. As can be seen in the layout above, each platform configuration is unique. Even the traditional platform extensions like the ARE are customized for their jobs on three different platforms. The following table contains the details of the composition of each platform. Unit no. MCWP arrangement (SC8000) Extensions / Add-ons used Additional info Unit 1 Single SDE MACB SDE 1: 0.2-1.6 m x 5.2 m Unit 2 Single 2 X SDE MACB SDE 2: 0.2-1-6 x 3.2 m SDE 3: 0.2-1.7 x 5.2 m Unit 3 Single 3 X SDE SDE 4: 0.2-1.7 x 1,2 m SDE 5: 0.2-1.4 x 2 m SDE 6: 0.2-1.4 x 5.6 m Unit 4 Single Fixed extension   Unit 5 Single ARE 3.6 m deck Unit 6 Single Standard platform   Unit 7 Single 1 X SDE MACB SDE 7: 0.2-1.6-3,6 m Unit 8 Single 2 X SDE MACB SDE 8: 0.2-1.7 x 5.2 m SDE 9: 0.2-1.7 x 5.2 m Unit 9-10 Twin 2 X SDE MACB ARE SDE 10: 0.2-1.6-4.4 m SDE 11: 0.2-1.6-4.4 m ARE: 7 m deck Unit 11 Single EE   Unit 12 Single ARE EE ARE: 7 m deck SDE = Sliding deck extension MACB = Mast area covering bridge ARE = All reach extension EE = Edge extension Scanclimber’s special product configurations 12 SC8000 units with varying degrees of modifications were used for this 172m-high project. Some of them included MCWPs with Scanclimber’s well-known extensions such as the ARE and SDE. Six MCWPs were equipped with a total of 11 sliding deck extensions of different lengths and arrangements. Three MCWPs were equipped with All Reach Extensions (ARE). There were two different kinds of ARE used for this project; one with a 7m-long deck and the other type with a 3.6 m- long deck. The ARE with a 7m-long deck is a standard product from Scanclimber’s catalogue. It has the ability to rotate ±45° and has a payload capacity of 240 kg (i.e. two persons with tools). The ARE with a 3.6 m deck was a special design conceived for this project. This ARE can rotate 360° and has a payload capacity of 120 kg (i.e. one person with tools). An SC8000 with twin mast arrangement with both the sliding deck and the All reach extensions on it. Innovations The unusual structure of this project provided an opportunity for innovation in the form of new kinds of platform extensions at Scanclimber. The following is a list of new add-ons and extensions used in this project. Mast area covering bridge (MACB) is a device used on MCWPs that are equipped with a sliding deck or other manual extensions. The purpose of an MACB is to cover the area behind the mast. It forms a bridge between two adjacent extensions. An MACB can withstand a payload of 120 kg. Edge extensions are special sliding extensions that allow access to the spaces below and above the crane anchorings. These extensions are fixed on both sides of the platform and allow the platform to extend up to a length of 2m (1m on each side). The Edge extensions have a maximum payload capacity of 240 kg i.e. two persons with tools. Buffer transport platform is additional equipment placed under the MCWP and is used to carry or store façade elements that may exceed the payload capacity of the MCWP. The buffer platform is connected to the lifting frame of the MCWP with steel ropes. The service ladders present on the MCWP provide access to the buffer platforms. The buffer platforms have a payload capacity of 240 kg. Ramp / Walking platforms: These are a new type of add-ons that provide workers access from one MCWP to another MCWP. The new ramp doors are like small bridges between two MCWPs. Fixed extensions: There were also a few customised fixed extensions on some of the MCWPs. These extensions were mainly used for accessing the corners on the building. Conclusion Providing vertical access to high rise buildings with irregular layouts is always a challenge. The Grand Tower project was no exception to that. This is by far the toughest project handled by Scanclimber in terms of the extent of customizations. It has led to the creation of new kinds of MCWP extensions which will now be a part of our extensive product catalogue.

Hyvinkää Hospital Hyvinkää Hospital is an on-call maternity hospital, offering many specialized medical services. The hospital has a combined emergency department that provides round-the-clock health centre emergency services for the city of Hyvinkää, and night emergency services for other municipalities in the area. Hyvinkää Hospital (Hyvinkään sairaala, HYS) is located 3 km Hyvinkää city centre. It is part of the Helsinki and Uusimaa Hospital District (HUS). Hyvinkää Hospital has 238 care places, employs 1165 people and serves five municipalities. Expansions The hospital was built in 1975 and has since undergone several extensions. During the initial expansion phase, the number of intensive care units was increased from eight to fourteen. Next, the hospital received a new medicine and surgery department, followed by children and youth care department. As a result of this, the intenscive care units for infants and children was moved to the youth care section of the hospital. Current expansion project The Municipality of Hyvinkää, Hospital District of Helsinki and Uusimaa (HUS) built a new hospital and parking house at the Hyvinkää Hospital site. The expansion of Hyvinkää Hospital was contracted to PEAB Oy. The construction, valued at 31 million euros, is expected to be completed in August, 2018. The building rising next to the hospital will be used by for HUS's specialist healthcare and the city's primary health care center. The total size of the project is 27 156.5m² and the estimated total costs are projected at 63.9 million euros. The building and plastering project The great design of this modern hospital expansion building was crafted by Arkkitehtistudio Kujala & Kolehmainen and Arkkitehdit Kontukoski. The main contractor for the project was PEAB. The sub-contractor responsible for the plastering work of the Hyvinkää Hospital expansion building is Vakka-Suomen Rappauspalvelu (=VSRP) . The plastering contract included a lot of façade work and in several phases. First the thick insulation elements were fastened to the walls with the help of mast climbers. Then several layers of net, plastering and colour to finish off the facades. A total of 15 mast climbers were used for the whole process. The plastering work stages were: Fastening of insulation elements 1st basecoat/plaster layer Base screed fastening 2nd basecoat/plaster layer Primer/bonding agent Colored finishing coat Additional border painting VSRP chose mast climbers The plastering contractor, VSRP, wanted to use mast climbers for the hospital plastering project as they have been proven to be much easier to work on than scaffolding. Mast climber advantages in plastering work After several years of experience in plastering work, VSRP’s worksite manager, Jyri Julin, had some thoughts about MCWPs: Mast climbers provide an easier way of performing plastering work. Compared to scaffolding, which is our secondary method, I prefer mast climbers, since they provide a better plastering finish, less borders, full access to work surfaces and stepless moving up and down while working on the facade. And of course, the work ergonomics is better. Jyri Julin commented the use of mast climbers.   Project Facts   Location of the Project City of Hyvinkää in Finland Main Contractor PEAB Oy The sub-contractor responsible for the plastering work Vakka-Suomen Rappauspalvelu (=VSRP) Start of project May, 2015 Completion of project Q4, 2018 Machines used Mast Climbers, Construction Hoists Models 15 x SC5000 2 x SC1837-65 Main use of the machines Fastening of insulation elements, plastering work.

Although it is only a two-storey building with a maximum height of 12 metres, mast climbers were used for bricklaying in this project. Background The demand for state-of-the-art sheltered housing for senior citizens in Finland has seen a significant increase in the last decade. The average age of the Finnish population is growing, which has led to a situation that more and more elderly are in need of rental apartments with 24-hour medical and nursing assistance. Other trends in the long-term residential services have changed too in Finland. During the 2000’s the number of elderly people receiving long-term care in residential homes and health centers has decreased steadily, while the number of people residing in sheltered housing with 24-hour assistance has increased. Residential social services is one of the fastest-growing fields of business in terms of sales and workforce in Finland. Attendo is one of the main operators in the field of residential social services in Finland. Care home operator Attendo Attendo is a Nordic company offering care services for senior citizens, people with disabilities, individuals and families. Attendo also offers health, medical and dental care as well as staffing services. They employ more than 20 000 persons in Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark. Attendo Finland currently has 156 sheltered homes. Sheltered housing complex Kultakehrä in Hyvinkää Attendo’s Kultakerhä is a new sheltered housing complex being built at Iltatuulentie 2 in Hyvinkää. The complex is scheduled to open in 2017. It consists of 60 apartments of between 20-34 m2. The construction of this project is handled by the main contractor, Rakennusliike U.Lipsanen. Despite the relatively small size of the building, mast climbers are used for the bricklaying operations. The project In 2015, the City of Hyvinkää organized a competition for the purpose of designing a senior citizen sheltered housing complex in the area of Metsäkalteva. Care home developer Tyvene won that contest and later on Attendo was confirmed as the operator for the newly proposed sheltered housing complex. Arkkitehtipalvelu Oy was in charge of the architectural design. Rakennusliike U.Lipsanen was selected as the main builder. The building has only 3 500 m2, on 2 or 3 floors for a total number of 60 apartments. The plot adjacent to Kultakehrä also has a six-floor care home operated by Attendo. The construction of Kultakehrä began in October of 2016 and was completed by the end of 2017. All the buildings have a red brick façade. In spite of the small job site size mast climbers are used Janna Nahkala is the GM and owner of Muuraus Nahkala Oy, the company awarded the bricklaying contract. It is a mid-sized company employing some 40 bricklayers. Muuraus Nahkala Oy has been in the bricklaying business since 2010. Early on, they adopted the use of mast climbers in bricklaying work. Janne sees that the advantages in bricklaying work with mast climbers are remarkable. We always try to agree with the main contractor that we could use mast climbers for our work. Bricklaying is many times easier with mast climbers than with scaffolding! states Janne Nahkala. Since the project in Hyvinkää is of small size, (2-3 floors), only two free-standing SC5000 are used for bricklaying. The use of freestanding mast climbers allows the work platforms great mobility. Customer feedback Though Muuraus Nahkala doesn’t own any mast climbers, GM Janne Nahkala knows well the value that mast climbers can bring to bricklaying: We always try to agree with the main contractor that we could use mast climbers for our work. Bricklaying is many times easier with mast climbers than with scaffolding!  And our senior bricklayers want to save their knees and joints and not to be stretching up and down!   Project Facts   Location of the Project The city of Hyvinkää in Finland Main Contractor Rakennusliike U.Lipsanen The sub-contractor responsible for the bricklaying Muuraus Nahkala Oy Start of project October 2016 Completion of the project December, 2017 Machines used Mast Climbers Models 2 x SC5000 The main use of the machine Bricklaying work #### Counter Balanced Extensions on a zig-zag facade at the worksite in Malaysia A demanding mast climber solution was required on the 150-meter-tall zig-zag form buildings in Kuala Lumpur. Sliding decks of almost four meters made façade works possible. The Fennel worksite The Fennel Project is the construction of an iconic landmark consisting of four, 150-meter blocks in the area of Sentul, Malaysia. Each block has 38 floors and altogether comprising 458 apartments. The Fennel project buildings have a very distinctive architectural design. The buildings are built in pairs and have a unique wave-like shape with sharp angles. Each of the pairs is connected with a 50-meter long swimming pool. This unique amalgamation of intricate architecture with well defined parks and landscapes makes the Fennel project one of a kind. The Fennel is project by YTL Land & Development. The Fennel towers designed with sharp angles and wave-like shape required a highly flexible solution for façade work which required adjustment to the changing wall distance from the platform. Challenges The distinctive design of the Fennel makes it a unique and highly visible attraction in the city of Kuala Lumpur. This complex design and huge stature are bound to present a few challenges concerning façade work. The major challenges faced in this project are outlined below. Complex angled façade The main challenge in this project was the wavy zig-zag shape of the towers, which made it difficult to access the façade using traditional mast climbing work platforms. The building facade walls are set in and out 40 cm per floor. This cycle repeats every seven floors - totalling four meters. In addition, the height of the building reached up to 150 meters. Having a machine which could cope with façade work at such a demanding structure was a significant challenge. It was understood that to overcome this hurdle of irregular access points, there was a need for a significantly customized solution. Machines had to be installed on the 5th-floor podium level The challenges of this project were not just limited to the zig-zag façade. Another major challenge was limited space around the towers for the machine installation. The architectural design dictated that the machines had to be installed on a podium at the 5th floor. This podium was assembled on top of tailor-made I-beams which were built according to Scanclimber SC4000 jack load calculations. The installation and erection itself was a time-consuming process since tower cranes were only available at night for these operations. Limited operational space The construction site is located in the city of Kuala Lumpur, with heavy traffic around the site. This caused further challenges in delivering machines with limited space to keep them at the site. Scanclimber MCWP’s with Counter Balanced Extension Special configuration After an analysis and an understanding of the project requirements, Scanclimber’s design team came up with specially customized sliding decks for SC4000 mast climbing work platforms. This special configuration called Counter Balanced Extension (CBE) included two separate long sliding decks on both sides of the mast. This CBE arrangement on each side of the mast formed one SC4000 MCWP unit. Both extensions were independent and balanced by a special counterweight system. Counter Balanced Extensions The Counter Balanced Extensions for this building project were 2.8 x 4.0 meters in size. These manually adjustable sliding extensions enabled reaching the façade with varying lengths from 40 cm to 400 cm. The Scanclimber MCWP’s with CBE:s were mainly used for multiple cladding works on the building. Loading Capacity The loading capacity of MCWP with two decks was less than for a normal mast climber. The total payload capacity for this design was 320 kg so that, Max two persons with tools on one deck, 240 kg One person on the other deck. Because of counterweights, loads were restricted on the rear side of counter balanced extensions. Why Scanclimber? As Scanclimber MCWP’s had already left a positive impression during the construction of the IB tower in Kuala Lumpur, it was an easier decision to trust Scanclimber MCWP’s again with another high-rise building in a similar environment. The Scanclimber machines were provided by Scan-Rent Sdn Bhd. Scan-Rent Sdn Bhd is Malaysia’s leading rental company of Mast Climbing Work Platforms specialising in access equipment rental solutions for medium to high-rise structures since 1996. They were the first company in Malaysia to introduce Scanclimber Mast Climbing Work Platforms.   Project Facts   Location of the Project Sentul, City of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia Main Contractor YTL Land & Development The company responsible for the machines Scan-Rent Sdn Bhd Machines used Mast Climbing Work Platforms Models 36 x SC4000 Kosmos Length of Platform 7.4 m Sliding Deck Specs 2800 mm x 4000 mm Main use of the machine Multiple cladding works Max.

It meant building a mixed-use complex in challenging circumstances within a very tight schedule on the Boulevard Exotique, Monaco. Villa Engelin The building will consist of 135 dwellings, 900 m² of office infrastructure and 9 parking levels. The building is located in a seismic zone in a dense urban environment where there are many constraints (presence of a tunnel, existing networks, etc.) on a very narrow 1 400 m² plot. The tower will extend 27 m underground from street level, and will have an above-ground height of 76 m. The main construction challenge was the objective of delivering the apartments in September, 2018. To do this, the tower was constructed according to the up-down construction method, in which the substructure and superstructure are built simultaneously. The project The architect group Arcadis, was commissioned for project management of the structures, geotechnical engineering, fluids, roads and various networks, fire safety system and acoustics. The project’s main contractor is “Service des travaux publics de Monaco”. The sub-contractor responsible for the building works of Villa Engelin is Smetra of the CAROLI GROUP - an established Monaco-based construction company. Construction started in 2016 and is scheduled for completion by 2018. The Caroli Group is specialized in the construction and administration of upmarket buildings, and have completed over sixty real estate development projects (Fairmont Hotel, Mirabeau, Monte Carlo Palace, les Térrasses du Port). Scanclimber MCWP & its key advantages Once the building wall was laid and the structure was built, there was a need for a way to carry out facade work. Scaffolding has been the norm in Monaco, but based on the recommendation of the work site manager, Mr Fabien Pellegrino, mast climbers were chosen instead of scaffolding to speed up the building process. A Scanclimber MCWP was deemed the most feasible solution available. Twin and single Scanclimber SC4000s were chosen for the job. The key advantages offered by Scanclimber MCWP were: Work ergonomics A Scanclimber MCWP focuses on maximum productivity with minimal worker fatigue. Materials were loaded on to the platform, which moved along the facade. Primer, paints and plaster were within easy reach of the workers. This reduced material handling and transport time and greatly improved productivity. Unobstructed access to the facade surface With the use of a Scanclimber work platform, a whole side of the building facade was easily accessed at one time as the platform could be extended by adding more, easily mountable, platform sections. High lifting capacity One of the key features of Scanclimber work platforms is their lifting capacity of 4 000 kg. Such high capacity allowed several workers to be on the platform and also to load it with materials and tools. The contractor’s personnel were happy with the mast climbers since they provided ‘an open face concept’ i.e. unobstructed access to the wall, whereas conventional scaffolding would have had disturbing verticals. Customer feedback Although the customer knew the value and efficiency that mast climbers can bring to such projects, the contractor’s team, including the site manager, praised Scanclimber machines highly: I have used these types of machines earlier in France. Since we had tremendous time pressure with this project I suggested Scanclimber Mast Climbers for the façade work, which is almost always done with scaffolding in Monaco. There was a lot of resistance from management at first, but now since we are far ahead of the schedule, they are more than happy! commented the Villa Engelin work site manager, Mr Fabien Pellegrino   Project Facts   Location of the Project Monaco, Principality of Monaco Main Contractor Service des travaux publics de Monaco The sub-contractor responsible for the building works Smetra of the Caroli Group Machines used Mast Climbing Work Platforms Models 4 x SC4000 Main use of the machine Primer, painting and plastering of the façades and balconies Height of the building 27 m underground, above-ground 76 m Building space 135 dwellings, 900 m² of office infrastructure and 9 parking levels Start of project August, 2016 Completion of project August, 2018 #### Katy Station façade work in Dallas The facades of tallest Dallas residential building, the 30-story Katy Station, finished with the help of heavy-duty mast climbers in Texas, USA. Katy Station Katy Station is the largest of four new residential towers going up in Victory Park near downtown Dallas; built by Dallas Genesis Real Estate Group. It was named after a nearby sports trail. Katy Trail is a jogging, walking, inline skating, and cycling path that runs through the Uptown and Oak Lawn area of Dallas. It follows the old Missouri-Kansas-Texas railroad known as MKT or Katy. In Dallas, abandoned railroads, previously populated by the homeless, drug dealers, and gangs, are being transformed into the unifying Katy Trail, a 12-foot (3.7m) wide and 3.5 mile-long (5.6km) concrete path. The work site After completion Katy Station is the tallest apartment tower in Dallas, Texas. It is a 30-storey (300 ft tall) tower construction boasting a 625-car parking garage and 461 luxury apartments ranging from 614 to 3758 square feet. The building was designed by the Houston-based architect company EDI International. The total floor space of the Katy Station building is 454,065 Square Feet. The main contractor for the Katy Station project is Andres Construction and, at the time of writing, TRINITY DRYWALL & PLASTERING SYSTEMS were responsible for the plastering work at the site. The mast climbers for the worksite are supplied by Sunbelt Rentals. Mast Climbing Platforms manufactured by Scanclimber operated at the site until the façade work was completed by the end of 2017. Mast Climbers at work Two Scanclimber Monster SC8000 twin mast climbing work platforms were on the west façade of the building for various types of work. Since the building has an 8ft overhang at roof level, the use of swing stages on this side of the 300ft high building was not possible. Thus two twin SC8000 mast climbers were ordered by the main contractor to enable work on the facades of Katy Station. Since delivery and erection of the mast climbers, they have given easy access for various types of work at the site. The work performed from the mast climbers has included window installation, window sheet work, stucco work, drywall work and plastering work by Trinity. The customer has been very happy with the twin mast climbers and the work has advanced without any delays; the project has been ahead of schedule! commented Sunbelt Rentals construction manager Donald McCann at the site.

One Thousand Ocean condominium One Thousand Ocean is a 10-storey exclusive condominium representing the finest waterfront living in Boca Raton, Florida. This modern building has a curved nautical shape and it is located on a beautiful peninsula, giving residences panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean and the city of Boca Raton. The apartments’ prices range from $3 million to $15 million, with living spaces from 2800 to over 8000 square feet and private terraces of approximately 1200 square feet. The Work Site The One Thousand Ocean building is undergoing a large scale, 1 ½ to 2 years, restoration project with Florida-based Waterfront Services Inc. as the main contractor. The restoration work was commissioned to be performed with minimal disturbance to the residents. Additionally, the work site has severe access issues since there is very limited operational space available on site. Boom lift use is very limited in the area and most of the goods/materials have to be lifted with a tower crane or forklifts. At one Thousand Ocean facades Waterfront Services decided to use primarily mast climbers from Sunbelt Rentals because: the contractor needed more lifting capacity than swing stages could provide on top of the building there are penthouse apartments and the contractor didn’t want to create any annoyance or disturbance to the penthouse residents/balconies (which couldn’t be avoided using swing stage platforms and their rigging systems). With mast climbers access was possible due to their small footprint and ground up construction. the area surrounding the building is very tight and limits the access space. Mast Climbers at work During the first phase of the restoration project, two mast climbers were used. During the second phase the number was increased to five mast climbers. Additionally, some assisting swing stages were used in one corner of the building, though their use was limited due to the difficulty of coming off the roofs or around the balconies. Mast climbers were used to perform full concrete restoration work on the building facades, painting and waterproofing on balconies, vertically transporting materials like wall and floor tiles, accessing the balcony ledges, and concrete restoration of the sheer walls. The engineers also used the mast climbers to inspect the quality of work and for communicating with workers. On the rear of the building, above the third floor, all the balconies angle inwards. Platform extensions were used to work around the angles above the third floor. Outriggers were set at an angle (3ft on one side, 6ft on the other side) to access the balcony ledges. A stair tower was built on the side of the mast climbers to enable access to the mast climbers from the 3rd storey level. The mast climbers were on average about 40ft long and had platform extensions to allow work on the balcony ledges.

Building went through a transformation that brought life back into this piece of history which stands adjacent to the DART Pearl Street rail station in Dallas, US. Dallas Historical High School Building Dallas High School was built in 1907 and it is one of the oldest high schools in Dallas. It has been vacant since the beginning of the 1990s. The century old High School building was acquired in 2016 by commercial real estate developer Matthews Southwest. The abandoned school building has long been protected by preservationists and has been cherished by the school’s alumni. Matthews Southwest invested USD 50.4 million in the mixed-use redevelopment. The building went through full renovation and converted to office and retail space. The project included 66 000 square feet of offices and 26 000 square feet of retail space. The original brick facade of the historical restored with help of Scanclimber mast climbers. Mast Climbers at work The Dallas High School is one of the most remarkable construction sites in central Dallas in 2017. It is Dallas’ first public high school, designed by Otto Lang and Frank Witchell. It opened to students in 1908. The main contractor for the project is Mid Continental Restoration Co and the on-site mast climbers are supplied by Sunbelt Rentals. Scanclimber Mast Climbing Platforms were in operation to enable façade work until the end of 2017. Three Scanclimber Maxus SC5000 mast climbing work platforms were used on the Dallas High School for façade restoration work. The main aim was to transport personnel and material vertically, and make unobstructed work at the right height possible. The façade work included: cleaning debris tuck pointing brick and stone, replacing the mortar joints, replacing damaged bricks, refurbishing windows, window jams, etc. The contractor’s personnel were happy with the mast climbers since they provided ‘an open face concept’ i.e. unobstructed access to the wall, whereas conventional scaffolding would have had disturbing verticals. As Donald McCann, construction manager, Sunbelt Rentals, commented: The pros about the mast climbers are that you can scale a large area of a building with less obstacles in your way, versus conventional scaffolding where you have verticals every seven or ten feet. They also take less manpower to install than traditional scaffolding. Additional extensions were used to fill the gap between the platform and the wall. One mast climber has a side extension which makes working around corners possible. Mr McCann continued: Texas has a great demand for mast climbers for the simple reason that they can concentrate upon one long span. It’s very important for plasterers, brick-layers and roofers to have that luxury. The key thing is an open face concept. When we deal with EIFS and stucco, you have easy application but you have to finish the whole area at one time. If you don’t have an open phase concept, being exposed to the sun will leave marks and lines on the paint.

Quadomain Condominium Florida Wind, rain and the coastal salts had taken their toll on the facades of the 250-foot-high Quadomain oceanfront condominium, built in the 60s. It needed a full concrete restoration according to Florida Building Code regulations. The code stipulates that buildings older than 40 years must undergo a "Required Building Safety Inspection" and be certified. National Concrete Preservation Inc. performed a full concrete restoration and Quadomain will soon be certified. The work was performed in Hollywood, Florida using Scanclimber SC5000 MCWPs. Quadomain condominiums are apartment buildings constructed in the 1960’s. These buildings are situated in Hollywood, on the beautiful Florida coastline. Most of the apartments in this complex have a tremendous view overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Though the Atlantic Ocean is beautiful to look at, there is a downside. Any building located on the shore of the Atlantic is exposed to corrosion. The Quadomain condominium building facades had been exposed to the corrosive effects of coastal salts, wind, sun and rain for 55 years, and now it was in need of a full restoration. The Florida Building Code regulates building in the state. The Code is based on national model building codes and standards, which are amended for Florida's specific needs. The code incorporates all building construction-related regulations for public and private buildings in the State of Florida. The Florida Building Code stipulates that buildings older than 40 years must undergo a "Required Building Safety Inspection" and be certified. National Concrete Preservation Inc. performed the restoration work, and Quadomain will soon be certified. National Concrete Preservation is a specialty contractor that uses state-of-the-art products and methods for repairing and preserving concrete and masonry structures for their lifetime. The company has over 100 years of practical high-rise restoration experience. Nature of Work The project comprised a full concrete restoration of the buildings. This included various work phases like cutting mortar and taking down debris, redoing balcony rails, washing the windows, adding protective films, replacing all concrete and balconies, etc. Although the concrete restoration work was a fairly straightforward project, there were still certain challenges pertaining to productivity and local climate. The windy conditions of the Florida coastline can make it very demanding to work at heights. Some common vertical lifting solutions, like swing stages, can be used only in low wind circumstances. The fact that mast climbers can withstand three times stronger winds than swing stages, was one reason why mast climbing work platforms were chosen for the project. Additionally, mast climbers could easily carry several times the payload of swing stages - all with added productivity and safety. Mast Climber Solution Five Scanclimber SC5000 (with max payload capacity of 11 000 lb) mast climbers were delivered by Sunbelt Rentals to National Concrete Preservation Inc. for the concrete restoration. The agreement included an option for three more MCWPs later if needed. The National Concrete Preservation Inc. staff were happy with Scanclimber MCWPs since they provided a safe and stable work environment at height in the windy coastal conditions of Florida. Additionally, with mast climbers they could have a higher load capacity when compared to traditional ‘swing stages’. As Max Sweeney, project foreman from National Concrete Preservation, simply put it: This is the best machine they ever made because they are safer than regular swing stages. It’s also a question of capacity. On regular swing stages you can set two guys to work, whereas on a mast climber, you can have up to eight guys working simultaneously. The loading capacity allows cutting the work time in half: what we would otherwise do in two months, with mast climbers we do in one month. It’s more expensive but it’s worth it. This machinery is the best on the market and everybody should be using it. I have been using them for 20 years now. There’s nothing better than this. For any kind of work there isn’t anything better than this. Scanclimber mast climbing platforms proved their value with the telescopic extensions connected to the mast climbers. These extensions allowed the workers closer reach to the building and around the balconies. They also enabled access to building corners and balcony sides. Concrete restoration work usually produces a lot of debris. This debris, if not removed while the work is performed, generates a lot of extra costs if the cleaning is performed afterwards. With mast climbers it was easy for the workers to load the debris onto the platform during restoration work, which increased the overall efficiency of the restoration work. Experience of using SC5000 at condominium restoration project Max Sweeney from National Concrete Preservation Inc, was the project foreman at work site for renovation of Quadomain condominiums. He explains why they used several Scanclimber SC5000 mast climbers at the work site.

A unique mast climber solution was designed for the construction work of the world’s tallest wind turbine tower near Stuttgart, Germany. About the Project Max Bögl, a company known for its pioneering efforts in designing state-of-the-art wind turbines, kicked off a project in Gaildorf, Germany. The project comprises three turbines with a hub height of up to 178 meters and a world record of 246.5 meters to the top of the rotor. The project also incorporates a unique ‘water battery’ concept. A water battery is an innovative combination of renewable energies like Wind, PV or biomass with a pumped storage hydropower plant enabling the creation of a high performance storage solution. It consists of an upper active and passive water tank in combination with the wind tower and a hydropower plant and a lower reservoir. An unique PE penstock connects the upper and lower reservoirs. The water battery serves as a short-term storage and makes a contribution to the electric grid. The load peaks can be lowered by peak shaving which saves expenses related to power. The hydropower plant can change between storing and producing energy within 30 seconds when required. Scanclimber MCWPs were used to build the 40-meter-high inner tanks. Challenges The main challenge in this project was to install the concrete elements to build the 40-meter–high storage tank inside the wind mill tower. Traditional scaffolding methods were insufficient for building a storage tank of this magnitude and shape. A solution using four mast climbers in a single mast arrangement was ruled out for safety reasons. Two twin L-shaped platforms connected at 90 degrees After a careful analysis and consideration of the project requirements, Scanclimber’s team came up with a design of two SC8000 MCWPs in an L-shape configuration on twin masts. For the first time ever, the platform sections were connected in L-shape form at 90 degrees using special adapters and twin hinges. A platform length of 30 meters was achieved with a payload capacity of 5600 kg. The concrete element installation work normally requires two persons working on one platform. By using two twin platforms configurations instead of four single platforms, the personnel requirement could be halved; from eight to four.

The facade and roof of the water tank on the top of the tower had fallen into disrepair. The original metal cladding was corroded and needed replacing. The roof covering had to be renewed as well. Ramirent Oy had the challenge to deliver suitable machines for the task. Workmen needed access to the circular water tank facade between 45 to 50 meters high. "There was really no other option for this job than using Scanclimber mast climbers", says Risto Mällinen from Ramirent Oulu. The shape of the tower set special requirements for mast anchoring and platform extensions. No anchors could be mounted below the water tank, so the location of the first anchor was to be at an incredible minimum height of 45 meters. Working together with engineers from Scanclimber Oy, Ramirent found the best solution for the project. The anchoring challenge was resolved by using Maxianchors. Maxianchors, unique to Scanclimber are a much stronger anchoring system than the traditional methods and gives more opportunities for engineering special access solutions. In this case, two SC5000 mast climbing work platforms were used with two Maxianchors per mast. The first anchor was mounted at 45 meters and the second at 48 meters. "Even though the first anchor was so high, the work platform was very stable, comfortable and safe for the work", tells Mällinen. Both machines had 13,7 meter long platforms. The circular shape of the work platform was made up with standard telescopic extensions up to a maximum length of 2,5 meters. In this way, the work platform had exactly the same shape as the water tank, and the gap between the platform edge and the tank was both small and safe. "This configuration was exactly what we needed here", tells Mällinen. Two Scanclimber SC5000 units were used on the job site to get half of the water tank wall area completed. After finishing the first half, the machines were moved to the opposite side of the tower and the rest of the tank wall was installed. ### Pages #### Centum SC10000 Centum SC10000 The Centum SC10000 embodies the pinnacle of mast climbing work platform technology, setting a new standard for heavy-duty construction and facade work.

A Sale Agreement cannot be cancelled without the Seller’s prior written consent. Other Terms and Coditions 2. SPECIFICATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS The specifications mentioned in the Seller’s catalogues, price lists, leaflets, and all advertising documents are for information purposes only. The Seller reserves the right to make any changes they may consider appropriate on the models, even after the acceptance of an Order Confirmation, provided that the essential specifications and performance are not affected. 3. PRICES AND TERMS OF SALE Prices are quoted in Euros and specified to be exclusive of discounts, VAT, other taxes, or insurance for unpackaged products.

Any expenses incurred for packaging, loading, and transportation from the factory to the designated place of delivery shall be borne by the Buyer unless otherwise agreed in writing. The Buyer is responsible for any import duties, taxes, and other third-party charges. The Seller reserves the right to impose an additional fee for small orders, as specified in the price list. 4. PAYMENT Except as specified in the specific terms appearing on the Order Confirmation, the price is payable as follows by international wire transfer: A partial payment is required with the Order Confirmation as a down payment. The balance thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice. The down payment made with the Order Confirmation does not entitle the Buyer to retract from the Sale Agreement. In case of Sale Agreement Confirmation cancellation, the down payment remains with the Seller as compensation, without prejudice to any other rights. 5. SETTLEMENT 5.1 Default Consequences Non-payment constitutes default, triggering the immediate maturity of all debts, even those not yet due. 5.2 Penalties for delay and compensation for recovery costs If the specific terms in the Order Confirmation specify a deferred payment and any due dates are missed, the Buyer is subject to penalties for delay without prior formal demand. The penalty rate aligns with the Finnish Interest Rates Act (340/2002), set at the reference rate in Finland plus seven percentage points. Furthermore, for overdue payment, the Buyer is obliged, without prior formal demand, to pay recovery costs of 40 Euros. The Seller reserves the right to seek compensation from the Buyer for any recovery costs exceeding this fixed amount resulting from the Buyer’s delayed payment. 5.3 Penalty clause By express agreement, in the event of non-payment by the Buyer on the due date, the Seller shall have the right to claim, as a penalty, compensation of sixteen (16) percent of the amounts due, in addition to the interest specified in the Order Confirmation and any litigation costs. 5.4 Retention of Title and Risk of Loss The products specified in the Order Confirmation shall remain the Seller’s property until full payment of the agreed price. All means of payment, including cheques, drafts, or other negotiable instruments, shall be considered as payment only after the actual collection of their full amount by the Seller. During the period between delivery and full payment of the price, the Buyer shall only be considered as a temporary depository of the products. The Buyer must pay the price on agreed due dates, or failing payment of a single payment, pay the full price, or return the products. Otherwise, they shall be deemed in material breach of the Sale Agreement and shall incur the penalties provided for by applicable law. The delivery itself shall place the products at the Buyer’s risk despite the fact the latter is only a temporary depository until full payment is made. Due to the Buyer’s status as a temporary depository until full payment of the price, they will not be entitled to resell or alienate the products by any means, including by way of a contract of pledge, security, or otherwise. However, the Buyer may: With prior written approval from the Seller and assuming full liability, instruct the end-customer to directly pay for the products specified in the Order Confirmation; or Assign the rights and responsibilities of the current Sale Agreement, provided they inform their assignee of their own liability. This includes specifying that the products are subject to a reservation of title clause and that the Buyer themselves is only the depository until full payment of the price. In this scenario, the assignee is also considered a depository until full payment, and the Seller retains the right to demand payment or product return if the full price is not paid by the due date. 6. DELIVERY TIME AND DELIVERY 6.1 Delivery Terms and Responsibilities Delivery refers to the placement of the products at the location notified by the Seller. The delivery time is the date indicated by the Seller on the Order Confirmation acknowledgement. Delivery times are provided for informational purposes only and are not binding. The Seller undertakes to promptly deliver the products to the Buyer provided that all necessary information and documents are received for contract fulfilment. It is explicitly agreed that the Seller shall not be liable for any delay, except in cases of deliberate tortious intent.6.2 Delivery Collection, Obligations and Acceptance The Buyer must collect their products from the Seller’s premises within thirty (30) days of receiving notification that the products are ready for delivery. If the Buyer fails to collect the products within this 30-day period, and after a formal demand made via registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt requesting immediate removal, the Seller reserves the right to compel the Buyer to fulfil their obligations, including payment. Delivery will be considered completed in this case, and the Seller will store the products at the Buyer’s risk. After the 30-day period specified in the section above, the Seller may consider the Sale Agreement terminated by the Buyer. Payments received from the Buyer will be retained without prejudice of any other rights. The Seller may also demand compensation equal to fifteen (15) percent of the products’ price as a penalty. After notifying the Buyer via registered letter, the Seller may use the products as they see fit. The products are delivered with their instruction manual for use, and the user must read them before using the products. If the Buyer does not have the documents, they should contact the Seller to obtain them. Acceptance: Failure to raise any written claims within thirty (30) days of the delivery date constitutes acceptance of the products without any visible defects. 7. TRANSPORT AND INSURANCE Any actions taken by the Seller on behalf of the Buyer regarding insurance or transportation do not override the principle of the delivery at the Seller’s factory. The inclusion of transport cost in the price does not exempt the delivery principle at the Seller’s factory. Regardless of whether the Seller handles transportation and regardless of who bears the costs, it is considered a separate contract of carriage from the Sale Agreement. In the absence of specific instructions, the Seller will dispatch the products in the Buyer’s best interests. Regardless of the circumstances, it is the Buyer’s responsibility to thoroughly inspect the products upon arrival, make any necessary reservations, and file any claims against the carrier within three (3) days of acceptance. Failure to adhere to these procedures may result in the carrier’s liability not being enforceable, and the Seller cannot be held liable as a result. 8. WARRANTY All products are covered against defects in materials and construction faults for a period of twelve (12) months from the date stated on the delivery slip. This warranty is strictly limited, subject to the Seller’s examination of the product and at their discretion, to the repair or replacement of the defective product, with the express exclusion of all accessory costs. Only the costs of replaced parts and labour are covered by the warranty. Travel and hotel expenses for personnel on-site, as well as transportation costs to and from the Seller’s factory, are the responsibility of the warranty beneficiary. The warranty does not cover the damage resulting from improper assembly, inadequate maintenance, or normal wear and tear. It also does not apply to paints and coatings. Any defect covered by the Seller’s warranty must be reported to the Seller, accompanied by the invoice for the purchase of the purchase of the product in question and all supporting documents, to avoid forfeiture. Exchanges or repairing of parts covered by the warranty cannot extend the warranty. The warranty will be removed from any product which is modified, altered, repaired outside the Seller’s workshops without the Seller’s prior written approval. The Seller’s liability is expressly limited to the above-mentioned warranty. An action to enforce the warranty cannot justify any delay in payments. 9. LIABILITY Under no circumstances shall the Seller be held to liable for consequential or indirect damage or contingent damage, including but not limited to operating losses, loss of profits, or loss of earnings. The Seller’s liability, excluding bodily injuries and gross negligence, is limited to a sum with an upper limit fixed at the invoiced and collected amount of the alleged defective product. The Buyer is responsible for waiving any claims against the Seller or its insurers beyond the limits and exclusions specified above. 10. SERVICE PERFORMANCE The scope of service performance provided by the Seller excludes travel and hotel costs. Estimates for repairs initiated by the Seller but not followed by an Order Confirmation are payable and include dismantling, reassembly, and travel expenses. If there is no response from the Buyer within thirty (30) days from the date stated on the estimate, the products will be returned as is, with transport costs to be borne by the Buyer. The Buyer agrees to provide the Seller with access to the necessary site and equipment, including equipment for lifting and handling. The Seller reserves the right to consider weather conditions on the site and accepts no responsibility for delays caused by these conditions or to the non-compliance with public health and safety regulations at the site. Under no circumstances will the Seller be liable for equipment malfunctions occurring during service interventions. The Buyer is responsible for ensuring the stability of supports, anchoring, or props for the equipment. They must verify compliance with safety regulations. 11. FORCE MAJEURE Neither Party will be liable for any delay or failure to perform its obligations under a Sale Agreement if the delay or failure results from an event of Force Majeure. Force Majeure means an event that was not foreseeable by the affected Party at the time of execution of the Contract, is unavoidable and outside the reasonable control of the affected Party, if it cannot overcome such event despite all reasonable efforts, and that it provides notice to the other Party within five (5) calendar days from occurrence of the Force Majeure event. If a Force Majeure event exceeds thirty (30) days, either Party may terminate the Sale Agreement forthwith by written notice without liability. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to minimise the effects of the Force Majeure event. Force Majeure events may include, but are not limited to: Flood, fire, earthquake, or explosion War, invasion, hostilities (whether war is declared or not), terrorist threats or acts, riots Actions, embargoes, or blockades in effect on or after the date of the Confirmation Order Action by any governmental authority National or regional emergency Strikes, labour stoppages, or slowdowns, or other industrial disturbances Epidemic or pandemic Shortage of adequate supplies and equipment Shortage of power or transportation facilities 12.

The two most popular ways to access heights are scaffolding and mast climbing work platforms. While both methods are effective in their own ways, mast climbing work platforms (MCWPs) offer several benefits over traditional scaffolding. In a recent bricklaying project in Denmark, a detailed cost comparison between Mast Climbing Work Platforms (MCWPs) and traditional scaffolding was conducted. Mast Climbers not only provide significant cost savings but also enhance safety and productivity on construction sites. Here's an overview of the key advantages of Mast Climbers over scaffolding, based on the project data. Note: Figures and numbers can be different for different projects depending on many factors Factors Influencing numbers Platform Configuration Height of the Building Load Capacity Project Duration Region and Market Demand Cost and Efficiency Comparison for a Bricklaying Project in Denmark 1. Safety Mast Climbers are inherently safer than scaffolding. Since the platform moves vertically, workers avoid the risks associated with climbing up and down scaffolds. With Mast Climbers, the work environment is more stable, which reduces the likelihood of falls and injuries. Moreover, materials can be lifted more securely to the necessary height, avoiding potential accidents during manual lifting on scaffolds.In the U.S., which is a substantial contributor to scaffolding statistics, scaffolding accidents typically result in about 60 fatalities per year. This aligns with historical trends reported by OSHA, and Scaffold and Access. According to the International Powered Access Federation (IPAF) Global Safety Report, in 2022, there were 102 fatalities related to working at height using powered access equipment, including MCWPs, MEWPs, and hoists. This represents a decline of about 19% compared to the previous year (126 fatalities in 2021). Falls from the platform were the leading cause of these fatalities​, check the Global Safety Report for 2023 &  2024. Fatalities Per Year (2022) 2. Efficiency Mast Climbers offer greater efficiency over traditional scaffolding. The time required to erect and dismantle scaffolding is significantly higher compared to Mast Climbers. For instance, in the project:Erection and Dismantling (E&D) Costs This demonstrates a massive reduction in setup time and cost by using Mast Climbers. Moreover, the ability to easily adjust the platform height and work at optimal levels increases productivity by approximately 40%, as workers spend more time building and less time moving between levels. Erection and Dismantling Cost 3. Flexibility Mast Climbers provide unparalleled flexibility in construction. While scaffolding is fixed and requires time-consuming adjustments, Mast Climbers allow for the platform to be raised or lowered as needed. This flexibility is particularly useful for projects involving varying heights or needing regular repositioning. For example, in a twin-mast configuration, Mast Climbers can extend up to 35.9 meters, offering wide platforms suitable for large façade work. 4. Cost-effectiveness The project comparison clearly shows that Mast Climbers are more cost-effective than scaffolding. Let’s examine the rental and operational costs: I.

FlexibilityAdjustable height and platform size make Mast Climbers ideal for projects with complex requirements. #### What is a Mast Climbing Work Platform (MCWP)? A Mast Climbing Work Platform (MCWP) is a type of temporary, powered access equipment designed to lift personnel, tools, and materials to various heights during construction, renovation, and maintenance projects. Unlike traditional scaffolding, Mast climbers offer a vertically moving work deck that provides greater efficiency, higher load capacities, and improved safety for work on building façades or other elevated structures. Mast climbers are widely used in industries such as construction, façade installation, painting, plastering, glazing, cladding, and inspection. They are valued for their versatility, speed of installation, and ergonomic working conditions compared to scaffolding or boom lifts. High Load Capacity Can carry heavy materials along with workers, reducing hoisting needs. Adjustable Height Allows work at the optimal ergonomic level, improving productivity. Faster Installations Requires less time and labor to set up compared to scaffolding. Enhanced Safety Built-in brakes, guardrails, and overload protections enhance worker safety. Space Efficiency Requires minimal ground footprint, keeping site access clear. Main Components and Parts of a Mast Climber A Mast Climber consists of several key components working together to provide a safe and stable work platform. The diagram below highlights the main parts, with detailed descriptions provided for clarity. Mast Chassis Guard Railings Mast Guard Drive Unit Control Panel Cable Basket Platform Deck How a Mast Climber Works: A Step-by-Step Process The Mast Climber operates on a rack-and-pinion system, where a motor-driven gear moves along a toothed mast. The process from setup to operation is systematic to ensure stability and safety. Assembly and InstallationThe mast is erected on the base frame (chassis) and anchored securely to the structure at required intervals. The platform is then mounted onto the mast and connected to the drive system. OperationOperators stand on the platform and use the control panel to move up or down. The motor turns the pinion gear, which travels along the rack, lifting or lowering the platform with precision. Anchoring and StabilityAt set heights (usually every 3–30 meters), the mast is tied to the building. This critical step prevents lateral movement, sway, or tipping, ensuring the platform's stability at elevation. Work at HeightThe platform can be stopped at any desired height, providing an ergonomic and stable working level for tasks like façade cladding, bricklaying, or window installation, boosting efficiency. Primary Industry Applications of Mast Climbers Mast climbing work platforms are versatile tools utilized across various construction and maintenance sectors. Maintenance Essential for maintaining industrial and construction sites. Renovation Facilitates efficient renovation of buildings and structures. Facade Installation Aids in precise façade installation processes. Painting Enables safe and effective painting operations.

Bridges can be of many types like beam bridges, moveable, cable-stayed, etc. Like any other large structure, bridges need maintenance as well to sustain for longer periods. The level of difficulty of maintenance increases with large moveable bridges where the tower height could exceed 100 m. There are many ways to access the bridges for maintenance. One efficient way which Scanclimber offers is to install their hoist. This could either be installed inside or outside the tower depending on different conditions like requirement of maintenance, available installation space, etc. Bridge installation The installation of hoist inside bridge tower is challenging. This is because the spaces inside tower are narrow and can be at certain angles, so the carriageways are not always vertically straight. Scanclimber offers a range of mast and anchoring solutions which are highly flexible and customized according to the requirements of the sites. Range of suitable hoists vary based on, Cage dimensions Payload capacity (300-3200 kg) Space available at site (where hoist needs to be installed)   Scanclimber industrial hoists can be used for bridge pylons. Without the need for a machine room or shaft, Scanclimber’s hoists are able to operate in tight and narrow spaces to transport passengers and tools. /* widget: Post Blocks */ #uc_post_blocks_elementor_ad3a36a3 { display:grid; } #uc_post_blocks_elementor_ad3a36a3 .ue_post_blocks_box { overflow:hidden; } #uc_post_blocks_elementor_ad3a36a3 .ue_post_blocks_image { overflow:hidden; } #uc_post_blocks_elementor_ad3a36a3 .ue_post_blocks_image img { width:100%; display:block; } #uc_post_blocks_elementor_ad3a36a3 .ue_post_blocks_link a { display:inline-block; text-decoration:none; text-align:center; } #uc_post_blocks_elementor_ad3a36a3 .ue-grid-item-meta-data { display:inlin-flex; flex-wrap: wrap; } .ue-grid-item-meta-data { font-size:12px; } #uc_post_blocks_elementor_ad3a36a3 .ue-grid-item-meta-data-icon { line-height:1em; } #uc_post_blocks_elementor_ad3a36a3 .ue-grid-item-meta-data-icon svg { width:1em; height:1em; } #uc_post_blocks_elementor_ad3a36a3 .ue_post_blocks_box{ display: flex; flex-direction: column; } #uc_post_blocks_elementor_ad3a36a3 .ue_post_blocks_content{ display: flex; flex-grow: 1; flex-direction: column; } #uc_post_blocks_elementor_ad3a36a3 .ue_post_blocks_link{ margin-top: auto; } .ue-grid-item-category a { display:inline-block; font-size:10px; text-transform:uppercase; } SC2000K "Le pont levant de Rouen" bridge pylons, France The new bridge over Seine river in Rouen, France, is called the 6th bridge and it is the first of...

There are various types of chemical plants like polymer, pharmaceutical, oil refineries, petrochemicals and many more. Each kind of chemical plant has different environmental conditions which correspond to different requirement of machinery. Any industry which produces on economies of scale involves extensive material handling processes which consumes a lot of time, energy and costs. In order to facilitate these processes, an industrial hoist can be an efficient resource to acquire. Hoists are able to move many chemical barrels at a time which is a common practice at a chemical plant. In addition, hoists can transport labor working at heights. Some of the chemical plants have large storage silo’s over 70 m in height. Hoists could add a lot more efficiency in terms of their timely maintenance and inspection. A chemical production site involves processes with high temperatures and harsh conditions. Thus the machinery to be installed at the plant must be able to withstand such environment and yet work for longer periods of time. Our know-how in chemical plants Scanclimber hoists are suitable for chemical industry because they are capable to work under extreme conditions. Another challenge for every chemical plant is to control corrosion on which millions of dollars are spent annually. Scanclimber hoists are made of steel parts which are hot-dipped galvanized which make them corrosion resistant. The installation costs are low since Scanclimber hoists can be adjusted anywhere without any structural changes. Also, there is no need for separate machine control room as all the drives are installed within the hoist. In case of safety brakes failure, the backup brakes are also available ensuring safety. Scanclimber hoists are highly adaptable because of modular design e.g. in order to facilitate the material to be transferred directly from truck to hoist, extra cage doors could be incorporated on the ground level.

Scanclimber also offers ‘Callability’ feature in hoist services in which hoist could be called to specific floor ‘like a lift’ and also records the priority of the calls being made to the hoist. Our services team is well trained experienced and we often can ensure 24 hrs service availability. Scanclimber provide customized solutions in accordance with the plant site. The range of offered hoists by Scanclimber depends upon, Cage dimensions Payload capacity (300-3200 kg) Space available at site (where hoist needs to be installed) Scanclimber hoists are highly capable of resisting extreme conditions as in steel and metal processing plants. Abrasion and corrosion are significant hazards for machines in these plants. Scanclimber hoist steel parts are all hot-dip galvanized with three layers coating which makes the hoist resistant towards corrosion as well as abrasion. #### Power Plants Special Requirements & Need of Hoist There are many ways to generate power and with each method, the power plant has different structure. Regardless of whether it is coal, gas, nuclear, hydroelectric, wind or any other kind of power generation method, a power plant always requires vertical transportation medium. The reason is the requirement of regular maintenance in all types of power plants. This is of utmost importance as with the dependency of several households and industries on a single power plant, there is no room for unplanned breakdown. Nowadays, environmental regulations demand from companies to monitor the emissions discharged during the industrial processes and control them to the acceptable level of emitted pollutants. In order to ensure that emissions are within the confined limits, there is a need for personnel to get their measurements from the discharging points, in this case, mostly chimneys. A hoist could facilitate this process of constant check on emissions. Our know-how in power plants Selecting Scanclimber hoists is a smart solution because of various reasons. The installation costs are low since Scanclimber hoists can be adjusted anywhere without any major structural changes. Also, there is no need for separate machine control room as the motor drive is installed on the car roof. In case of safety brakes failure, the backup brakes are available ensuring safety. Scanclimber also offers ‘Callability’ feature in hoist services in which hoist could be called to specific floor ‘like a lift’ and also records the priority of the calls being made to the hoist.

Pulp is then bleached and dried to get the actual paper. The resulting paper is then finished according to the end use. Papermaking process is very old which was first invented in China in second century A.D. reaching Europe by 12th century. The machines have been developed over the passage of time because of which the process is faster and productivity is higher but the basic process of papermaking is still the same. Pulp and paper industry is lately controlled by North American, North European (Finland, Sweden and North-West Russia) and East Asian (China, Japan, South Korea) countries.   Special Requirements & Need of a Hoist   The demands of every manufacturing industry these days are getting higher with high expectations of productivity. Paper industry is no different even in the case when the focus is shifting towards less paper consumption. In order to meet the expected targets, process industry should run continuously without interruption. This means that all the processes which cause the process to halt must be addressed as quickly as possible. These processes mostly are related with maintenance. Thus, quick and easy preventive maintenance is the target. Industrial hoist or elevator is one of the means which could facilitate the maintenance processes along with efficient material handling and passenger transportation. In order to ensure successful implementation of any machine in any industry, machine should meet that industry’s environmental and technical demands e.g. chemical industry requires the machinery to be corrosion resistant, oil and gas refineries are operating at high temperatures, so machine parts must withstand such heat and extreme conditions. Our know-how in pulp and paper industry Scanclimber hoists are a good choice because of the installation costs are low since Scanclimber hoists can be adjusted anywhere without any major structural changes.

Read More #### Ports and Harbors Ports and Harbors Ports and Harbors play a significant role in our world as major trade hubs of global economy. Cargo handling efficiency has a direct impact in our economy. The faster and more efficiently containers are managed, the better it is for the port and for the whole supply chain. In a container port containers are transshipped between different transport vehicles and containers has to be moved from vehicle to another. Typically a crane is used for loading and unloading the containers. Different types of cranes are used for cargo handling: ship-to-shore cranes, rail mounted gantry cranes, rubber tired gantry cranes, ship unloaders, etc. Since a container terminal can run 24/7, thus same availability of the cranes is critical. In order to keep the cranes available, it is necessary that the access to cranes is quick and safely in all condition to minimize downtime. Standard cranes come with ladders only. It can take long time for a person to climb up all the ladders and it can be unsafe in bad weather conditions to access the crane. The maintenance of crane can consume a lot of time and effort since also material needs to be transported to the top of crane. Our know-how in ports and harbors Scanclimber has been providing solutions in container ports for many years now. We have expertise in working in different ports and our machines can withstand extreme conditions. Our crane hoists are highly adaptable machines because of modular design.
