Explore Manufacturing had to tender some of the elevated ramp beams due to a technical hitch with their beam manufacturing facility. Due to this the elevated ramp beams are now being supplied by Macrete Ireland Ltd. Other suppliers could not match the standard of quality required by the MSCP East project. Macrete, although initially nervous about achieving the high standard, were however willing to work with the project team to achieve it. A succession of meetings at their plant took place where all matters were discussed and the collective project team sent personnel over to assist and direct with regard to the MSCP East project requirements. All involved have to be commended for the herculean effort made to turn this problem around in a very short space of time, and to have produced edge beams to the required high standards - edge beams for this type of structure are not normally produced to such standards as they are seen as functional in the first instance and to be aesthetically pleasing in the second. Laing O'Rourke, BAA, Buro Happold, Explore Manufacturing and Macrete Ireland Ltd have truly worked in a collaborative manner to achieve a positive outcome for the project.
