UKSSH DELIVERS 47 METRE PARKING BAYS

Bowmer and Kirkland is the latest company to appreciate the excellent weather protection provided by a Haki mobile temporary shelter supplied by UK System Scaffold Hire.

The project to resurface a rooftop car park is being undertaken under a mobile temporary roof measuring an impressive 423 square metres supplied by UKSSH and installed by Tamworth Scaffolding.

Built in seven working days, the temporary work shelter is 47 metres long, 3 metres tall at the eaves and three bays wide, with each 3 metre wide bay linked by spacer bays which enabled the temporary shelters to be sheeted right up to the car park’s lampposts.

The three primary structures were mounted on double wheels and the spacer bays designed to be quickly taken out to enable the shelter to be moved around the site to cover each phase of work.

Haki Temporary Shelters create the perfect controlled environment for outdoor projects where temperature or humidity control is essential or where hazardous materials need to be contained.

The unique challenges of constructing the shelters on a rooftop car park emphasised other benefits of Haki Temporary Shelters: Fewer components compared to other systems means that they are lightweight (a vital consideration on a rooftop project), are five times quicker to install than traditional structures, provide large unhindered work spaces and are easy to move around the site.

Securely tying down the shelters was a result of close collaboration between scaffold designers, structural engineers, scaffold contractors and specialist subcontractors to ensure that the roof would accept the kentledge load and that the shelters lined up with the falls to the existing drains.

Bowmer and Kirkland acknowledged that while the proven benefits of the Haki Temporary Shelters were important, equally important was UKSSH’s approach and professionalism: “UKSSH’s attention to detail, technical expertise, commitment to overcoming obstacles on site and proactive involvement throughout the project is impressive”.
