Scaffold and hoarding at the Novello Theatre

THE PROJECT

A demanding installation.
A coordinated solution.

We oversaw the planning and design for this challenging project, bringing several different elements together in one installation. Our team on site did an exceptional job delivering a scaffold with loading, lifting and suspended access requirements.

01 / GANTRY & HOARDING

A heavy-duty foundation.

A heavy-duty pavement gantry provided a loading platform and hoist landing. Full hoarding was designed, supplied and fitted by our team.

02 / RUNWAY SYSTEM

Moving materials.

The installation included a Nico runway system with a push trolley and a 250 kg cable hoist.

03 / PASSENGER & GOODS HOIST

Access from the gantry.

A 1,500 kg passenger/goods hoist was installed up off the heavy-duty gantry.

04 / SUSPENDED SCAFFOLD

Working above lower roofs.

The entire rear of the scaffold was suspended above the lower roofs, using chemical-fix ties into the walls.
