Boats, much like buildings, require scaffolds for multiple reasons. Whether its access whilst boats are in the hangers, boats that are in the water or boats that are being made up. There are many reasons we need to provide safe access for works to be carried out. Offshore industrial buildings also require dangerous and complex structures for maintenance work. The types of scaffolds will vary massively so it is important that the scaffold contractor has the necessary qualifications and insurances to provide these structures.
Often utilised in commercial or industrial projects, these advanced design structures are erected for the purpose of accessing one of more floors to a building, with ease, to bring materials both in and out of the building. Hoist weight and sizes can vary and it is important to have a suitable design in place prior to its construction.
These advanced design structures are erected in commercial, industrial and residential projects. Their purpose is to protect your project from the elements in most cases, but they are also erected for the purpose of keeping things in. Temporary roofs are a form of containment that keeps your house in the dry, the structure on the right was built to enable this residential property to have all of its windows taken out and replaced after dealing with damp issues caused by them. Other structures offer protection to the outside such as the hanger in the left picture which was designed for ‘blasting boats’, which is a process which stripped the boats of contaminants such as rust and prepares them for painting and refurbishments. Asbestos scaffolds are another form of containment scaffold required to enable to process of removing asbestos materials from property.
For residential, commercial and industrial projects, cantilevers are generally designed structures that offer themselves out as suitable solution to enable works at height to be complete whilst the ground below either needs to be kept clear, or isn’t suitable to be used as a foundation to the structure.
Temporary roofs are becoming more and more popular in todays market. With the uncertainty of the British weather, these advanced design structures are built to shelter your property to prevent weather damage to walls, floors and electrics etc. It is also common belief that time is money and while many people are keen to get things done quickly, it is a great option to be able to keep your employees working day in day out without any weather disruptions. It is worth getting an estimate on this because you may well find that you can offset the cost of the scaffold against the time and potential damage caused without it. its important when choosing your scaffolding contractor to make sure they have the designs, the advanced scaffolders and the insurance available when undertaking these kinds of work.
A great access solution to save men climbing ladders with materials in their hands. These structures most be designed when exceeding 1.5m in height and therefore should be undertaken and signed off by advanced scaffolders. Suitable for projects of all types!
Timber frame structures are the polar opposite to the concrete and steel structures. These usually require the scaffold to be built prior to any external walls being built and as a result are required to be built by design. New build houses and flats are the usual structures that go up in this manor within the residential sphere.
Every so often a structure is required to take an extra-ordinary load or be built for an extra-ordinary purpose. These structures are designed and required to be built, and signed off, by advanced scaffolders and companies with the proper insurances. On the left we have a multi-storey loading bay and on the right is a complex bridge/boardwalk designed to carry 2tonne machinery with materials across marshland and over a river.
Skye Scaffolding Southern Ltd are blessed with experienced advanced scaffolders capable of building structures of any magnitude.
Useful in a range of projects across the residential, commercial and industrial sectors, beamed bridge scaffolding is an extremely useful method for building platforms and maintaining access for a multitude of reasons. Whether you need to maintain access for people, vehicles, other trades or span across obstacles, it is possible to bridge openings of up to 6m under TG20 compliance before needing a design. It is possible to bridge scaffolds of greater lengths however it will need further designing to ensure structural stability suitable for the work intended.
Scaffolds for demolition require additional support and bulking up to ensure it maintains its strength as a freestanding structure. Usually this requires the scaffold to be designed. The structure above is the after image of a demolition scaffold that was erected to dismantle an old property in order to rebuild. The property was rife in asbestos and required ranch boarding for the asbestos removal company to enclose them selves in. It was also erected using more load bearing fittings to ensure the strength of the scaffold was suitable to maintain itself freestanding.
Scaffolding is an amazing solution when it comes to providing access to high up areas whilst maintaining access below. Gantry scaffolds are another example of how scaffolds can be adaptable and eradicate concerns whilst undertaking projects. In many circumstances driveways and pedestrian routes require access to be kept completely clear. This allows wide and high vehicles, such as ambulances, to be able to continue on their route whilst access is still provided for the tradesmen. Gantry scaffolds are designed structures that are not covered under TG20 compliance sheets and therefore it is important to source the design prior to erecting the structure.
