Celebrating 20 years in Australia
2022 has been a year to remember, with a surge in demand across all scaffolding markets. Read more
Sideways Scaffold
Pre-assembling scaffolding onto large horizontal steel structures that are later crane-handled into a vertical orientation is not the usual way access is provided in the industrial sector. 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
The FW System bridges the gap
The replacement of cladding on substantial plant enclosures is usually a simple process. However, in this case adjacent plant structures at a lower level required a bridged solution. Integral Scaffolding took up the challenge. Working closely with Layher’s technical team, a 18m truss was designed using Layher’s FW System. Read more
Fast FlexBeam Bridge
To allow for blasting and painting operations on this rail bridge near Coffs Harbour NSW, the requirement was for an 8m wide access deck below the bridge for a total length of 150m. Read more
Keder Coal Reclaimer
Rize Scaffold in the Hunter Valley of NSW recently completed this impressive blast and paint facility in Newcastle. Past difficulties with assembly and encapsulation were experienced when carrying out this project with an alternative scaffolding system. On this occasion, Rize worked closely with Layher’s technical team to design a Layher Allround Lightweight scaffold, together with a Layher Keder roof. 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
Scaffolding Landsdowne Bridge
Caledonia Scaffolding provided this technically demanding solution to achieve access for Stone Mason Artists, to effect stonework repairs to the heritage-listed Landsdowne Bridge on the Hume Highway. Power lines prevented any crane-handling of structures, and no anchor points to the bridge were permitted. Read more
Thinking above the conventional
At a height of 30m above ground level, cladding panel damage required repair on this building. After receiving a number of full-height conventional scaffolding proposals, the principal contractor approached Above Scaffolding with a request for some lateral thinking. Read more
Lismore Base Hospital
Ballina Scaffolding Services secured the contract for this latest stage of the Lismore Base Hospital having recently completed Stage 1 of the project. When the tender was issued for this latest stage, the head contractor requested the use, once again, of the Layher Allround scaffolding system. Read more
Safe scaffolding solution for spire demolition
After the rejection of numerous proposals involving alternative scaffolding products, Site-Wide Scaffolding secured this contract by presenting to their client a clever and cost-effective design using their Layher Allround Scaffolding system. Read more
Wallacia Bridge – high load-bearing cantilevered scaffold
Australian Scaffolds and Access regularly build scaffolds to support high loads. However, this project presented some unique challenges: designing 3m cantilevered scaffolds over water to take 2.5 tonne loads to enable extensive bridge modification work to be undertaken. Read more
