Every scaffold starts with a carefully constructed design that takes into account every requirement that will be made of it.
It’s no good getting halfway through a build to discover some new lift, load bearing platform or extra supports have to go in and that’s where good design becomes essential.
Our experienced survey team start every job with a visit to site and a full briefing with you to fully understand the project and the requirements the scaffolding will need to meet. We’ll talk through options with you, help point out any potential problems that could come up and ways we can solve them.
Working with the design team a complete scaffold erection plan is then worked out, taking into account approaches and requirements such as;
- Working platforms
This is the everyday scaffold, ranging from a small scaff tower for a team to work on a high window or wall, all the way up to vast structures supporting constructors on a huge office block or shopping mall. Load weights, level access and various accessories have to be planned carefully to ensure absolute practicality and safety.
- Scaffold stages
A variation on working platforms ideal for large multi storey constructions; working closely with your team we’ll erect the scaffold stage by stage as the property is built, allowing for design alterations and far more stability at each stage.
- Propping, shoring and formwork
Primarily a load bearing scaffold designed to hold up old or damaged walls and ceilings whilst repairs are carried out, or to create a base for pouring concrete; each is carefully calculated according to the load it has to bear.
- Special scaffolding designs
Often an essential on major projects or buildings with unusual architecture such as overhangs or curves, we also work up unique designs for situations where very heavy loads or unusual construction methods come into play.
- Scaffold sheeting
We utilise Monarflex sheeting to provide additional safety from falling objects and reduce wind speed on higher scaffolds; sheeting is a legal requirement.
- Temporary roofing
Something of a speciality for our company, many builds need to keep dry long before it’s possible to put the permanent roofing on. Our lightweight aluminium scaffolds mean you don’t need any heavy lifting equipment and we can have a weatherproof shield up over the construction area in no time.
- Scaffold accessories
An essential with all scaffolds are the varety of accessories you add for practicality, safety and access, these include ramps, runways, bridges, rubbish chutes, pulleys, hoists, lifts, ladders and even fencing to put around the bottom of the scaffold for added security; perfectly planning these aspects makes for the truly perfect design.
