Rapid expansion of the Dubai Marina, with its prestigious high rise buildings, also creates an additional market for TTS International in Dubai. The company is mainly active in the field of heavy transport and installation work related to the different industries in that area, in particular, the chemical and petrochemical companies. But the construction boom in the city created a special requirement for the transport and installation of prefabricated ornaments on the new buildings.

The ornaments are manufactured in Sharjah, some 80 km from Dubai. The route in to the city requires special attention as the width of the pre-fabricated loads measure up to 14 m. Due to height restrictions on the route, TTS International used its Nicolas modular platform trailers providing a low running height and adjustment by the trailer hydraulics.

Once on site, the ornaments were lifted in place on top of the 133 m building, using a 500 tonne capacity Liebherr LTM 1500 mobile crane.
