Daily checks during live works, full strike and site handover when complete.

Yes. We routinely plan around fixed shutdown windows and can mobilise large teams over evenings, nights and weekends to keep your downtime as short as possible.

Do you work to permit-to-work systems?

Absolutely. Our team is comfortable operating under client permit-to-work systems, induction processes and site-specific safety procedures.

Can you scaffold around live plant and machinery?

Yes. We have extensive experience designing scaffolds around live conveyors, tanks, vessels, pipework and machinery with appropriate isolations and protections.

What about heavy loads or hot works?

Our designs can be specified for higher load classes and configured with fire-retardant sheeting, hot work platforms and suitable protections for cutting, welding and coatings.

Do you provide engineered scaffold designs?

Where required by the complexity of the works, we can provide engineered designs and calculations from a qualified scaffold designer.
