Details:
Scaffold Services Ltd have been employed by main contractors J H Hallam (Contracts) Ltd to erect a 60 metre high independent access scaffold around the main tower of one of Leicester’s most prominent buildings. There is also a 12 metre high lower level access.

Solutions were found for the many logistical issues that the project presented. Equipment would be raised via a goods/passenger hoist situated on the rear elevation. This was then accompanied by a second hoist to accommodate the high volume of workforce and material required to be raised or lowered.
It was determined that the lower level roofs were also unable to safely take the weight of the scaffold, so an additional support system was designed and installed from the third floor level through to the basement.

The whole project is estimated to be complete within a year and a half, involving demolition of the existing facades, re-cladding and installing balconies. This will provide Leicester with another high profile residential complex and additional offices on the lower levels.
