Sydney-based lifting specialists Everwilling Cranes contributed expert lifting solutions to the successful delivery of the Parramatta Eels Centre of Excellence, supporting one of the NRL’s most prominent infrastructure projects.

The company was responsible for the placement of large architectural precast panels and structural components, essential to the building’s striking design.

“We utilised a wide-ranging fleet of mobile cranes, including all-terrain cranes from 130t up to 300t,” said Steve Allen, General Manager. “This gave us the flexibility and power to manage complex loads despite the challenges of the site.”

Due to the undulating terrain, traditional Franna cranes couldn’t be used to rotate the panels. “We specifically deployed a 60t crane for that task,” explained Dean Lincoln, Business Development Manager. “This allowed for safe, accurate rotation and placement where space was tight and ground conditions were uneven.”

The site’s urban location presented further logistical hurdles. Bordered by residential properties, access was limited and community sensitivities high. “Kane Constructions did an excellent job liaising with residents,” said Steve. “That collaboration was key to maintaining safety and minimising disruption.”

On the technical side, close coordination with XL Precast and Kane Constructions enabled Everwilling to meet design intent with precision, particularly in areas with seating plats, where crane positioning was heavily restricted. “Every lift required meticulous planning,” said Dean. “We deployed high-capacity cranes with specialised rigging to achieve safe and accurate installs.”

Given the project’s profile, safety was paramount. Strategic rigging and custom-designed lifting gear ensured best practices were followed at every stage.

“Our work on the Eels Centre of Excellence is a true reflection of what makes Everwilling unique,” Steve said. “We’re problem-solvers, adaptable, experienced, and always ready to lift the challenge.”
