Ahead of the project, we gained an understanding of what Cortland would bring to the project to complement our own expertise. On site, the lift went to plan, and it was impressive to see the two rope slings in action in combination with our chosen hardware. Ultimately, they made it possible for both lifts to be carried out in one day.”
