The challenge
On tall or complex buildings, traditional scaffolding is often impractical: it blocks entrances, takes weeks to erect and costs more than the work itself.
Suspended working platforms give facade teams continuous, safe vertical access, but only if the roof anchorage, counterweights and safety systems are engineered for each building.
Scope of works
- Engineering and installation of roof outrigger beams, counterweights and suspension points
- Assembly of modular platform stages, hoists, control panels and emergency brakes
- Static and dynamic load testing, limit switches and independent fall-arrest lines
- Handover and ongoing support to the facade repair and painting teams
Outcome
The platforms were installed and certified on each building, giving safe and efficient access for facade works. They were used for the building maintenance and repair programme. See our height works and suspended access services.
