The deconstruction required craneage facilities above each link bridge with a capacity of 10 ton safe working load, split between two 5 ton hoists. The steel column within the building was used as a strong point to transfer the crane loads into the foundations, avoiding contact with the building fabric, as per the client's request. Conventional crane facilities usually run on steel. However, this option was not feasible due to the 16-meter span between the two buildings and site access constraints. The solution was to design a series of aluminium lattice beams to form a lattice girder, with a tubular tracking system placed on top of the beams. Each crane section had a maximum length of 2.7 meters, requiring a splice joint at the midpoint.

An access scaffold was erected on the exterior of both link bridges to facilitate the removal of the link bridge windows. The scaffold could not be freestanding due to the 10kN point load constraints and could not be tied to the building fabric. To address this, a birdcage scaffold was designed to fill the void between the two link bridges to transfer the loading from the external access scaffold into a support frame. The birdcage allowed all horizontal and lateral loads to dissipate, ensuring that the 10kN point load limit was not exceeded.

Skips were positioned on the north side of the site, while materials from the south side were transferred via a tracking system. As the materials being maneuvered exceeded the permissible load, a transfer trolley system was designed to distribute the weight safely to the ground, ensuring the 10kN constraints were adhered to.
