As part of the Osborne Naval Shipyard Project, Freyssinet delivered specialist heavy lifting solutions for the construction of a facility capable of housing two warships. Working alongside specialist subcontractor Hebetec Engineering, Freyssinet designed, supplied, operated, and certified the heavy lifting system for 14 major lifts — including wall rotations, roof lifts, and crane beam lifts. Our innovative approach to wall rotation reduced the need for steel erection at height, improving safety, minimising wind exposure, and streamlining construction.
