Breaking News: Brogan Group Acquires Construction Access Systems

In a significant development within the construction access industry, Brogan Group has announced the acquisition of Construction Access Systems (CAS), securing 100% of its shares.

Founded in 2010, CAS has distinguished itself as the foremost designer and manufacturer of the innovative Common Tower system utilised globally in high-rise construction projects.

The Common Tower system, a pioneering solution developed by CAS, allows multiple hoists to be arranged around a central access tower. This reduces the need for extensive cladding and provides a central point for vertical access, including integrated staircases. This system has been successfully implemented in landmark projects such as the One Park Drive Tower in Canary Wharf, London, the One Za’abeel Tower in Dubai, and the One Sydney Harbour Towers in Australia.

Brogan Group first used the Common Tower with their STROS 4050 Colossus Hoist on the £150 million Madison Amory Tower project in Canary Wharf in 2018. This project went on to win the Tall Buildings Award for ‘Best Residential Tall Building Project’ in 2022. Since then, Brogan Group has utilised Common Towers in numerous high-profile projects, including Battersea Power Station, Canada Water’s The Founding, Greenwich Peninsula, and multiple towers at Canary Wharf.

Tony Faulkner, the founding director of CAS, will join Brogan Group in a global sales role, aiming to expand international sales and further promote the Common Tower system for high-rise buildings and new applications such as street gantries, loading bays, and docks.

“When we decided to sell CAS, we received significant interest from various parties, including hoist manufacturers and specialist access providers,” Faulkner commented. “Brogan Group emerged early as the best fit to promote our Common Tower to a wider market both in the UK and internationally.”

Brogan Group, already a leading access company operating in the UK, Ireland, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and expanding into new markets in Europe and the United States, believes that acquiring CAS will enhance its brand by adding the manufacture of the Common Tower system to its contracting and hire offerings.

Wayne Smith, a representative of Brogan Group, stated, “We see the demand for the Common Tower increasing worldwide. By adding manufacturing capabilities, we will significantly boost our appeal to new users and applications. The CAS system, being alloy, is lightweight and easy to pre-fabricate at ground level before lifting into position. Its inherent load-bearing capacity can service building heights exceeding 500 metres.”

The acquisition aligns with Brogan Group’s strategy to expand its range of access solutions, including hoists, scaffolding, mast climbers, crane decks, and cradles. The group is actively seeking further acquisitions and international partnerships in specialist high-rise access sectors, including construction hoists and related industries such as wind power and access platforms.
