TAMWORTH SCAFFOLDING PROVES IT HAS THE EDGE

There are some projects where the size of the job is the story– and supplying edge protection to a massive warehouse in Mansfield is one of them.

The job involved putting edge protection around the entire building – that’s well over 2000 feet of edge protection – not to mention also building no fewer than 120 stair towers and support towers.

Jem Winstone, Managing Director of Tamworth Scaffolding, knew that the only cost effective solution was to use Haki System Scaffold: “When it comes to site stair towers, everyone knows that Haki is the answer (it has almost become the generic term for stair towers, after all), but it also offers the same benefits when it comes to support towers: Haki support towers offer a system scaffold solution that removes the need for a scaffold design and reduces the erection time by a remarkable 80%. On a project like this one at Mansfield, that represents a massive time and cost saving for the client.”

The crux of the time and cost savings is the remarkably few components required to build a support (or loading) tower using Haki Universal compared to tube and fittings.

On a single lift, a tube and fitting tower uses no fewer than 144 fittings – that’s 144 fittings that have to be secured and then safety checked at least once a week.

By comparison the UK System Scaffold solution has no fittings: That contributes to a single lift being erected in just 15 minutes – compared to 90 minutes using tube and fittings. That’s SIX TIMES quicker.

The simplicity also explains how the UKSSH solution removes the need for a scaffold design: UKSSH towers are fully systemised, have a generic design and can only be erected one way – correctly.
