IN FOCUS / RED RADIO SOLUTIONS
RADIOING MEN FROM MARR’S Marr Contracting recently engaged Red Radio Solutions to fit a radio system to one of its tower cranes. The difference with this job is that the crane was already 230m in the air. ACCORDING TO RED RADIO SOLUTIONS director, Casey-Lee Powell, this type of work is the reason why she specialises in providing radio communication systems for the crane sector. “I’ve been working with Marr Contracting since we started Red Radio Solutions back in 2014. I supply the hire radios for the cranes they put up around Sydney and when the opportunity arises, I provide radios for them on their interstate projects as well. I currently have a couple of projects with them in Queensland and we have a number of cranes in Sydney
at the moment. “This project was very special though. I have never been so excited to receive a call and humbled to be invited to supply equipment on a project like this. I am passionate about my two-way radio products and the service side of my business, and I am equally passionate about cranes and admire what the operators and dogmen all day every day. As a business owner, when you are invited to fit a system to a crane which is 230m high; that is what I love doing. It is the reason I am in this business, to provide service that
goes above and beyond every time,” said Powell. The project involves Marr Contracting (The Men From Marr’s) partnering with Mirvac to dismantle Sydney’s largest transmission tower. The Men from Marr’s has partnered with Mirvac as part of an international team including Robert Bird Group and critical infrastructure specialists Kordia Solutions. Together, the team will dismantle one of Sydney’s highest and most recognisable structures, the former TCN-9 TX transmission tower at Willoughby.
