HIGH PEAK SCAFFOLDING’S CLINICAL APPROACH MEETS THE HIGHEST STANDARDS AT ASTRAZENECA

Everything about the AstraZeneca site in Macclesfield is impressive: The second largest manufacturing site in the AstraZeneca network, it is home to 4700 employees and is immersed in the UK science and innovation ecosystem.

It is a location where excellence and a clinical approach is in evidence wherever you look – and that has to include any maintenance projects on the site.

Tasked with erecting access scaffolding to enable the refurbishment of one of the buildings on the site, High Peak Scaffolding knew that Haki systems from UKSSH would help them to pass the test with flying colours.

With scaffold grids up to 3.65m and fewer components compared to tube and fittings and other systems, access scaffolding erected from Haki systems not only look smart, but deliver significant cost and time savings.

Haki systems help companies maintain the highest health and safety standards too, with safe systems of work using the unique advance guard rail method, components that are up to 30% lighter than tube and fittings and even other systems – and there are no loose or small fittings to service or get lost.

Working with UKSSH also delivered other time and cost saving advantages on the project: As scaffold contractors, the greatest cost on any job is the wage bill for skilled scaffolders – and the greatest drain on profits is the amount of down-time when highly trained scaffolders are waiting for the right materials to be delivered. On a project the size of the one at AstraZeneca, the impact of poor logistical management is huge.

UKSSH understand the importance of adhering to delivery schedules – and when the components do arrive on site they are in good working order. It’s a commitment to service that differentiates UKSSH from the competition and helps the best scaffold companies to hit deadlines and control costs.
