Radius Group

Radius Group was founded with the mission to create a premium quality lifting service, prioritising the key principles of safety, innovation and expertise

On commencing, few people could have predicted how quickly it would grow into an industry leading, end to end, fully managed logistics and installation service to both Network Rail and London Underground.

Indeed, the rail sector is just one of many in the UK that have benefited from the dedicated and experienced teams that have added value to many projects nationwide.

Radius specialise in providing expertise on projects that are logistically challenging, require performance in tight and enclosed spaces, involve large and or unusually shaped plant or equipment, and are both, on the critical path of the project whilst being extremely time sensitive.

We are widely regarded by our clients as their specialist problem solvers; helping to manage and mitigate specific project risks. We are typically called upon early within projects when other specialist contractors and suppliers are unable to provide a safe or technically acceptable solution.

We have been committed to concise and understandable safe systems of work since the companies’ foundation, a precedency that remains a key focus. The long-term partnerships with employees, customers and suppliers are based exclusively on sustainable behaviour and the resulting values that follow.

For each specialist sector that we serve, we have also developed unique operational methods and manufactured equipment of our own original design. To assist with projects within the rail sector for example, Radius own and operate the only London Underground approved escalator sledge, capable of carrying up to 450kgs down escalators to specific project locations.

Our industry leading project paperwork ensures a quick and pain free process of acceptance by the client and any involved stakeholders, saving unnecessary delays and repeat submissions. Thus giving you reassurance that the operation is in safe hands. Utilising cutting edge software and planning tools, technology is always at the forefront of Radius offerings.

Since 2006 we have played a major part in the installation of fans and associated ancillary components of London Underground’s ‘Cooling the Tube Programme’. This has given Radius unequalled experience in the installation of Tunnel Ventilation equipment in a rail environment.

Radius can offer a full turnkey solution for the installation of the fan, attenuators, transition pieces, dampers and associated components. Th is has included off -site warehousing, sequenced site delivery, off -load servicing and on-site lifting of various types of plant and mechanical equipment.

Radius have recently completed the installation of the ventilation equipment on London Undergrounds Northern Line Extension working with our clients to deliver a safe and successful installation.

Radius have completed the mechanical installation of the water-cooled Platform Air Handling Units installed on the Victoria, Piccadilly, Central & Bakerloo Lines. These units were delivered using engineering trains, and required a complex quad lift using four lifting beams clamped to the tunnel ring bolts.

We have also worked on the delivery of new equipment and the recovery of old equipment on forty London Underground substation upgrades, all in the last three years as well as fifteen substation upgrades for Network Rail. We have an impressive success and safety record on projects involving lifting/handling and installing heavy plant within both surface and sub surface environments.

The Radius plant installation team were also heavily involved in the planning and execution of the following works on Crossrail, which were delivered on-time and on-budget:

• Non-Traction Power Installation to point of use.

• OHLE Switchboard Installation to point of use.

• Station UPS Installation to point of use.

• LV Switchgear at various Crossrail Stations.

• Tunnel vent shaft fans and associated components Installation.

Our project and installation teams have considerable experience in managing logistics for installation/fit out projects. We are industry leading with both the technical knowledge and expertise to provide a bespoke handling solution for delivering large heavy items into challenging industrial and commercial environments. We utilise a variety of methods including but not limited to Hydraulic Gantries, Hydraulic Skidding Systems, Versa Lift, Industrial & All Terrain Forklift, Stair Robots, A Frames, Hoists, Engineering Trains & Cranes.

Our Plant Installation division is backed by our Contract Lifting teams, meaning that we can competitively provide, not only plant handling support, but supplement your works using our in-house personnel.

We offer a vast range of contract lifting services from lorry loader through to telehandler, mobile, spider to crawler crane, and tower crane through to helicopter lifts.

Our industry leading contract lifting expertise is complimented by the Radius Tower Crane division. Radius has access to the world’s largest crane bank through partnership with NFT. Combining our own technical engineering knowledge, plus the manufacturers (Manitowoc Potain) global technical support, makes Radius a world leading provider in the Tower Crane rental business.
