A scaffolded roof covering which is movable on rolling wheels, covering 60 metres of roofing at a time was used on this project to allow roof removal and restoration. This was made up of a lightweight scaffolding system with a waterproof covering pulled over the top. This system minimised risk of delays which may have been caused due to changing…
The project team incorporated the use of trolley seats on the project to provide a more ergonomic way of working whilst installing low level facade systems on the cantilevered scaffold on the East, South and West areas of the project. The scaffold deck has been boarded meaning the working surface is flat and level leading to the safe use of…

Through lessons learnt from previous projects this contractor identified a requirement to improve the means by which windcatcher sleeves are installed at roof level, sometimes with significant falls from height and manual handling being key risks. The contractor chose to use an overhead gantry system to perform a controlled lower of windcatcher sleeves through preformed openings within the roof slab….
This contractor has implemented Spacebands wearable technology to monitor exposure to HAVS and loud noise, provide machine to person collision alerts, remind staff to wear PPE and warn them when they don’t have access to a certain area. This initiative offers proactive, real-time protection from HAVS and noise exposure, preventing long-term health issues. Collision alerts drastically reduce accidents with machinery….
On this project, the flooring contractor has developed a piece of equipment to assist them with floor preparation when working with timber flooring. The piece of equipment is used by the contractor to sit on and rest their chest while using the heavy duty sanding machines during preparation phases.
