Safe access at city school
A successful partnership between Generation UK Edinburgh and City Access Scaffolding led to a temporary rolling structure, rather than a fixed platform, to complete a school atrium in the City Centre.
City Access Scaffolding were commissioned to erect a safe system of work for skylight and roof installation teams, for a new build school atrium area in Edinburgh City Centre. The system required needed to support numerous personnel and trades operating onsite with their own set of access and equipment requirements.
Generation's concept was to build two independent scaffolds at two elevations, each scaffold to be fitted with its Uni Roof Runway Track System so mobile castor wheels could be connected to enable Generation to move the scaffold depending on the day to day site requirements.
The solution provided safe access and a working platform for roof contractors without compromise for the other trades on site. The solution not only improved site efficiency it reduced erection time and scaffold required by 86% and 90% respectively over the other solutions proposed.
