• All safety issues on site when handling precast elements, especially so when working within a tight site • The lifting capacity of the crane used • The working boom-radius of the crane • The suitability of construction materials for the purpose of use, i.e. sealant, grouting, shim plate, propping etc • Co-ordination with the precaster and specialist supplier to achieve the best performance and working method - precaster often provide relevant technical requirements to the contractor during the design development phase to avoid discrepancy
