Southwell Minster
|
Details:
Said by many to be the best kept secret among the forty two English cathedrals, the Cathedral of Nottinghamshire is a gem. The Cathedral and Parish Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary is popularly known, as it has been for centuries, as “Southwell Minster.” Although Christian worship has taken place on this site for over 1000 years the present Romanesque building celebrates its commencement 900 years ago in 2008. For this anniversary, we have been tasked with providing the scaffolding in preparation for major repairs to its central tower.
The scaffolding will encompass the 110ft central tower, to enable a temporary roof system being placed over it, allowing work in all conditions. The tower repairs, to be carried out by E Bowman & Sons Ltd of Stamford, will include masonary, glazing, replacing a flagpole and a new lead roof to the square tower which dates from the 12th Century. Additional general maintenance will take place while the scaffolding is in place including renewing rainwater chutes, providing a new lightning conductor and updating pigeon deterrents.
In 2008, Southwell Minster celebrates its 900th anniversary of the start of construction of the Nave. The aim is to achieve all the tower works and repairs in time for this birthday year. |

Digital Media Centre

Details:
Leicester's creative hub for new technology. This is an exciting development and with the other developments happening in the area, this facility will help to transform a deprived part of the city over time into a diverse and thriving new place.
With the continued redevelopment of the city, Scaffold Services Ltd is once again at the forefront of the industry. Having been a constant presence within the St Georges area, Scaffold Services Ltd is the scaffold company of choice for the investment taking place in Leicester's new Cultural Quarter - most recently with their high-profile jobs at St Georges Tower and The Leicester Mercury, and now, for the £21.5m state-of-the-art Digital Media Centre.
Willmott Dixon has been commissioned to develop the project, which includes three cinema screens, digital production facilities, together with a digital exhibition space called 'The Cube'.
The building is scheduled to open to the public in 2009. |

Thames Tower
|
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. |

Linford's
Leicester Cathedral
Whilst “only” 150 years old, the spire of the Cathedral not only looked very murky but some de-laminating of the stones was taking place with potentially fatal consequences. It was only once the scaffold was erected that the full extent of stone replacement could be assessed via traditional tapping methods. Many stones had been cut ‘the wrong way round’ which was the reason for the thin layers that had come away. |
