Brogan–Alimak sales alliance: vertical access integration notes for project teams
Reviewed by Tom Sullivan
First reported on The Construction Index
30 Second Briefing
Brogan Group and Alimak Group have formed a global sales alliance under which Alimak will promote Brogan’s CAS Common Tower and Atlas Gantries through its international contracts and distribution network, integrating them with Alimak hoists and transport platforms into a single vertical access system. The CAS Common Tower, already deployed on complex high-rise schemes such as London’s Wood Wharf and Battersea developments, centralises multiple hoists to one access point to ease logistics, reduce crane reliance and free scarce ground space. Atlas gantries target low-rise industrial and data centre projects, offering a scaffold-free option where tie-in points are limited or large, fragile plant must be installed rapidly.
Technical Brief
- CAS Common Tower is manufactured by Construction Access Systems, acquired by Brogan in the previous year.
- Alimak will distribute CAS Common Tower and Atlas gantries through its existing international contracts and operations.
- Integration is planned specifically with Alimak construction hoists and transport platforms as a coordinated access package.
- Centralised hoisting via the tower is reported to accelerate façade installation and overall programme.
- Reduced crane reliance and fewer work-at-height interfaces are cited as key safety benefits.
- Atlas gantries are positioned as a direct alternative to scaffold gantries for industrial and data centre work.
- Gantries are targeted at situations with limited tie-in locations or rapid installation of large, fragile plant.
Our Take
Within the 208 Infrastructure stories in our database, UK items linked to major schemes like Wood Wharf and the Battersea development often signal higher specifications for vertical access and façade logistics, so a tighter Brogan–Alimak sales channel is likely to be most visible on large, high-rise packages rather than smaller jobs.
Alimak-branded access systems already feature across multiple high-density urban projects in our coverage, and closer alignment with a specialist installer such as Brogan Group in the United Kingdom typically reduces interface risk for main contractors by bundling design, supply, and on-site operation under fewer parties.
For complex mixed-use sites like Wood Wharf and the Battersea development, consolidated hoist and mast-climber supply tends to support more aggressive construction sequencing, which in turn can affect crane utilisation strategies and temporary works design on congested inner-city plots.
