Case Study
Client : Benchworks
From dressing room paraphernalia to iconic costumes , over 500 artefacts had to be transported safely to the Saatchi Gallery for the Rolling Stones Exhibition . And , because of their iconic importance , all had to be handled
with the utmost care . This was made more difficult because the delivery yard is shared with other businesses and is opposite a residential area , limiting access to the gallery .
Ten crew members spent threeweeks carefully placing the artefacts in designated areas . They went above and beyond , helping with the build ; staying
extra hours to complete the work . With only room for one truck in the loading bay , and limited operational hours , there were significant difficulties to overcome . These were managed with daily briefs on the delivery schedule , with our client . We used floor covers throughout to protect the gallery and had to carry very large artefacts through the stairwell . Our crew completed the job before the deadline , playing a crucial role in creating a spectacular exhibition .
Mark Hurcombe , project manager , Benchworks “ The build for this job was flat-out for 21 days and we couldn ’ t have achieved it without Alpha Crew . The site is not really built for a large exhibition but the team leaders played a pivotal role in ensuring everything made its way through the building safely and efficiently . We asked the crew to perform a multitude of tasks each day
