Paragon Scaffolding secured the contract to provide access services to this ambitious waste-to-energy project south of Perth. It is estimated that this remarkable facility will result in the avoidance of approximately 485,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually. Read more
St Ignatius Church Spire
In 1927, the 60 year project to construct St Ignatius Church in Richmond came to a conclusion. This is the first refurbishment work to be conducted on the spire of this fine heritage building, and it was no surprise to see Scaff-Co awarded with the scaffolding contract. Read more
Hotel signage cantilever scaffolding
Scaffolding to replace the signage at the top of this building was never going to be built from the ground up! Premier Scaffolds secured the project with an imaginative design using their Layher Allround Lightweight (LW) equipment. The design took full advantage of the cantilever and bridging possibilities offered by the Layher Allround system. Read more
Scaffold King
Scaffold King won the contract to provide access to enable painting work to be carried out on this heritage-listed building in Sydney. The scaffold design was based on the provision of Scaffold King’s Layher Allround Lightweight (LW) system. The design featured a 7m bridge over the lower roof above the building’s entrance. Read more
Super Yacht Maintenance Scaffolding
One of the big challenges with this super yacht maintenance project was to provide a scaffolding access solution whilst the vessel remained afloat.
Liquid Yacht Solutions, based in Queensland, secured the project with a design using their Layher Allround Lightweight (LW) scaffolding system: the overall weight of the access system was of crucial importance, and Layher Allround LW was the ideal option. Read more
Efficient Access for an Iconic Building
Premier Scaffolds was engaged by Advanced Buildings to develop a tailored access solution to re-roof this iconic pub located on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. The original roof was badly damaged when it took the full force of a severe hailstorm. Read more
A Combination of Structural and Natural Beauty
Insta Group have recently undertaken a series of repair and refurbishment projects in Victoria where a versatile approach was a prerequisite. Insta Group’s use of their Layher Allround scaffolding certainly met this requirement. Working closely with Insta Group, Layher’s technical team produced a design to overcome the challenges presented by the circular shape of this lighthouse. Read more
A Free-Standing Curved Solution
Alphasafe took on an interesting challenge with this project: provide a free-standing, full scaffolding wrap to a height of 18m around a building with a curved face – no ties permitted. The rosette on their Layher Allround scaffolding system was designed to cater for curved structures, and the strength of their Layher Allround braces allowed for 6.5m between buttresses. Read more
A ship-shape access solution
Interesting challenges are the hallmark of access work involving ships, yachts, and similar – particularly when they remain afloat rather than in dry dock. This project, undertaken by Liquid Yacht Support Pty Ltd, is a good example: scaffolding access that had to be as light as possible and allow for suspended, cantilevered and bridged solutions to access a complex geometry.
