Scanclimber SC5000 Mast Climbers Enable Safe and Efficient Access for the Grenland Bridge Project
As one of Europe’s leading construction and infrastructure companies, Eiffage Genie Civil has extensive experience delivering complex bridge and civil engineering projects where safety, precision, and reliable access are essential.
During the construction of the Grenland Bridge in Norway, the large-scale construction demanded reliable access solutions that could operate safely at extreme heights while providing efficient working conditions for installation crews. Scanclimber’s mast climbing work platforms played a critical role in enabling the safe installation of stay cables on one of the project’s most demanding structures.
Working at heights of up to 166 metres required an access solution that combined flexibility, stability, and exceptional reach. The Scanclimber SC5000 Mast Climbing Work Platform equipped with All Reach Extensions (ARE) delivered exactly that.
To complete this critical construction phase safely and efficiently, the project team deployed:
2 x Scanclimber SC5000 Mast Climbing Work Platforms
Safe access at extreme working heights
Stable working platforms for precision installation
Efficient movement of personnel, tools, and materials
Comfortable working conditions that improve productivity
Reliable equipment capable of operating within a complex bridge structure
Traditional access solutions offered limited flexibility for reaching the required installation points while maintaining the highest levels of worker safety and operational efficiency.
Scanclimber’s SC5000 Mast Climbing Work Platforms
configured with All Reach Extensions (ARE)
- The ARE provided the additional horizontal reach needed to safely access stay cable installation points on the bridge pylons without compromising platform stability.
- Mounted on a crossbeam at 126 metres, the SC5000 platforms travelled upwards to the full working height of 166 metres, creating a secure and productive working environment throughout the stay cable installation process.
- The combination of the robust SC5000 design and the flexibility of the All-Reach Extensions enabled crews to carry out critical installation work with improved access, reduced repositioning, and greater operational efficiency.
