Up, Up and Away

Narrow driveways and steep access proved no barrier to the Cresta Composites team when delivering a Sumner customer’s new Bermuda swimming pool recently.

When difficult site access prevented the pool being moved into position by crane the Cresta team looked to the sky and the team at Garden City Helicopters to help airlift the pool on to the hillside site.

up-up-and-awayJoggers and walkers out enjoying the early dawn on Scarborough Beach watched with interest as the AS350BA Squirrel landed on the foreshore to collect its load.  With the road closure only in effect for 30 minutes the team quickly attached the 6.1m Bermuda Executive pool to the Squirrel before it was effortlessly lifted into the air and up the hill to the pool site. A few minutes later the pool was safely lowered into position and the helicopter was heading for home.
