Brogan Group has secured the powered access package for a student accommodation building in Manchester.

The access specialist will provide several passenger and goods hoists on the project, giving site teams access up to 46 metres high.

The machines will support remedial works to the existing structure, including the replacement of cladding, glazing and brickwork.

The package adds to Brogan’s recent activity in the student accommodation sector, following other powered access appointments on residential and mixed-use schemes.

It also comes shortly after Brogan expanded its regional coverage across the Midlands and North of England, including Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield and Newcastle.

That expansion followed the group’s acquisition of Sunbelt Rentals’ UK hoist division last year, which added more hoists, operational sites and technical staff to Brogan’s UK network. Brogan said at the time the deal would strengthen its ability to support projects across major northern cities, including Manchester.

Brogan Group provides scaffolding, hoists, mast climbers, crane decks and other access services across the UK, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the USA.

The company said the Manchester hoist package will support the safe movement of workers and materials as façade works progress on the building.
