Co-ordinating Lifting Operations

Successful lifting operations start with detailed planning. On one of our live Knight Harwood projects, MSK recently developed and coordinated the lifting and access arrangements required to safely operate two Manitou 220TJ boom lifts, working at heights of over 20 metres in one of London’s busiest locations, Great Portland Street. With constant pedestrian traffic, live roads and restricted working space, meticulous planning was essential to ensure the works were delivered safely and efficiently. Our planning included: ✔️ Safe positioning and operation of MEWPs ✔️ Ground bearing pressure assessments and load-spreading arrangements ✔️ Pedestrian and traffic management controls ✔️ Exclusion zones and controlled access ✔️ Weather monitoring and stop-work criteria ✔️ Emergency rescue planning ✔️ Clearly defined roles, responsibilities and communication procedures A big thank you to the MSK team involved for their initiative, meticulous planning and professional execution.

The Green Machine Dragon Boat Race

Our team, The Green Machine, was proud to take part in Knight Harwood 's Dragon Boat Race, joining together for an afternoon of teamwork and plenty of laughs. Most importantly, the event helped raise funds for The Abbey Centre , an incredible local charity that continues to make a real difference within the community. It was fantastic to spend time with so many people from across the industry, enjoying some healthy competition, great hospitality, and even a welcomed swim to cool off after crossing the finish line! A big thank you to Knight Harwood and everyone involved in organising such a successful event. We're already looking forward to the next one. hashta e

London Feeding Programme Volunteering

Recently, members of the MSK team joined one of OD Group's project teams to volunteer with AMURT UK as part of their London Feeding Programme.

Spotlight on Digital Solutions

The best logistics contractors add value long before work starts on site. At MSK, we believe successful projects are driven by early engagement, collaboration, and detailed planning from day one. Working closely with our clients during the early stages allows risks to be identified sooner, coordination to improve, and projects to be set up for success before the first operative arrives on site. Our Digital Support Team delivers detailed sequencing plans, access strategies, material flow coordination, and operational planning through technical drawings and real-time visualisations. These tools strengthen communication between stakeholders while supporting safer, smarter, and more efficient project delivery throughout every phase. By continuing to invest in innovative digital solutions, MSK is helping raise the standard for construction logistics and project support across the industry.

Occupational Health Testing

MSK are excited to announce the launch of our new on-site Occupational Health testing, delivered in partnership with Health Wizard at Work . This system enables us to carry out essential health surveillance by testing Hearing and Lung function for our operatives. The process is fully self-administered through a simple, user-friendly interface. Results are securely reviewed and shared with both the individual and our Health & Safety team, allowing us to proactively monitor and support the well-being of our workforce. This is another important step in our ongoing commitment to protecting our people, improving accessibility to health checks, and raising standards across our projects.
