Lifting Equipment Reference

Penzance Dry Dock (PDD) is famously steeped in history, currently being the oldest operational dry dock of its type in Europe but requires drastic investment after decades of neglect and dilapidations. While the surrounding shipyards, across the county and country have seen investment, PDD has slipped through the net time and time again.

PDD plans to complete a large refit by March 2025. PDD will become the engineering powerhouse that it once was, but with more abilities than ever before. This facility has primally been ship repair only, but now we are supporting multiple areas of the market, ship repair, ship building, mass fabrication and most importantly training and skill development.

This capital investment, part-funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, will see the site brought up to an even playing field with the rest of industry, with new, safer lifting systems and the dilapidations being rectified. We will see our efficiency drastically increased which in turn will assist in reducing our carbon footprint.

As part of this refit, PDD wishes to purchase 6 cranes:

Goliath x1

Gantry (x4 - two 10T cranes per bay)

Quayside Jib Crane x1

PDD will supply:

• The foundations (specification needs to be provided by this successful tenderer).
• Suitable test weights.
• 3 phase supply to the end of the bus bar systems and quayside jib crane.
• If required, Penzance Dry Dock can provide a dedicated space in the workshops, 100v, 240, and 440V supplies to allow the appointed team to work onsite at the docks for fabrication purposes (see plan). Please clearly detail this requirement in your tender response.

The successful tenderer shall provide all consumables, raw materials, PPE and labour to fabricate the cranes.
