Some impressive progress at NEXTDC B2 Brisbane Stage 2, with the scaffold now reaching full height and the scale of Cogent Scaffolding’s access package really taking shape.

Working alongside Multiplex, Cogent is delivering the primary scaffold and high soffit works across the project, utilising the Layher Australia scaffolding system to provide engineered access and protection solutions throughout the build.

These latest photos give a great perspective on the size and complexity of the scaffold now wrapping the structure, with extensive multi-level access required to support the various construction activities taking place across the building.

Reaching full height marks a significant milestone for the project. As construction continues, our team will continue adapting and modifying the scaffold to meet changing site requirements while maintaining safe and efficient access for the many trades working across the project.

A significant scaffold package and a great effort from our project team and scaffold crews on site.

Great progress on our works at the Waterfront Brisbane project in the Brisbane CBD.

These latest images give a great perspective of the scale and complexity of the scaffold solution Cogent is delivering to support construction of the Waterfront tower cores.

Using the Layher Australia Allround Lightweight (LW) system, our scaffold is supported directly from the concrete core walls, providing a highly engineered access solution suited to the unique requirements of this high-rise project.

The system incorporates gap decks, lock-against lift-offs and console brackets to minimise gaps and create safe, efficient working platforms as construction continues to progress vertically.

Projects of this scale require careful planning, innovative scaffold design and close coordination between our design, project and site teams. It’s great to see the solution taking shape and the quality of workmanship from our crews on site.

Progress is taking shape at Logan Reserve Special School.

The transformation on site is well underway, with multiple buildings now taking shape across this major education project.

Cogent Scaffolding is proud to be working alongside Hutchinson Builders, delivering the scaffolding labour package and supporting the safe er****on of scaffold systems across the site. It's great to see the project progressing and our team playing an important role in keeping construction moving safely and efficiently.

This $300 million development will provide a purpose-built learning environment for students with disability, creating a lasting benefit for families and the wider Logan community.

We’re proud to be delivering a custom weather protection walkway at the landmark Palmera Residences project for our valued client, Multiplex.

Palmera is set to become a striking new addition to the Gold Coast skyline, with the 52-level luxury residential tower taking shape in the sought-after Northcliffe precinct.

For this project, our team has designed and installed a fully enclosed pedestrian walkway using our wall cassette system, providing:

⚫ Safe, protected access for workers and site personnel
⚫ Shelter from the weather, allowing work to continue in changing conditions
⚫ A clean, professional presentation for the site perimeter
⚫ A robust temporary structure engineered to meet the demands of a major construction project

The photos showcase the scale of the installation, including the enclosed internal walkway and the external wall cassette façade that delivers both protection and functionality throughout construction.

A great effort by the Cogent team and another example of delivering innovative access and protection solutions on some of Queensland’s most significant projects.

From material handling and crane coordination through to installation and inspections, every stage of scaffold construction relies on clear communication and teamwork.

At Queens Wharf Towers 5 & 6, our crews work closely with Infinity Constructions Queensland and other trades to keep works progressing safely and efficiently.

These moments often happen behind the scenes, but they're critical to the successful delivery of large-scale projects.

Proud to see the Cogent team continuing to set the standard on site.

Cogent Scaffolding is proud to be contributing to one of Brisbane’s most significant city-shaping developments, the Waterfront Brisbane project. Located in the heart of the CBD, this landmark precinct is transforming the city’s riverfront through the delivery of world-class commercial, retail and public spaces.

As part of our involvement in the construction of the project’s tower cores, Cogent has implemented an innovative access solution designed to meet the complex demands of high-rise construction while maintaining the highest standards of safety, efficiency and productivity.

To achieve this, our team adopted a unique approach by supporting the scaffold directly from the concrete core wall and utilising the Layher Australia Allround Lightweight (LW) system throughout the project. The flexibility and versatility of the Layher system have allowed us to develop a tailored access solution capable of adapting to the challenges of a complex high-rise environment.

A key focus of the project has been creating safer working environments for all personnel operating at height. Through the integration of Layher gap decks, lock-against lift-off technology and console brackets, Cogent has delivered continuous working platforms that minimise gaps, reduce fall risks and improve overall site safety.

The modular nature of the Layher Allround LW system has also enabled efficient installation and modification as construction progresses, ensuring access requirements can evolve alongside the build program without compromising safety or operational efficiency.

The Waterfront Brisbane Core Project showcases Cogent Scaffolding’s commitment to innovative engineering, quality workmanship and practical problem-solving. By combining our technical expertise with industry-leading Layher scaffolding systems, we continue to deliver safe, reliable and efficient access solutions on some of Queensland’s most complex construction projects.

We are proud to be playing a role in shaping Brisbane’s future skyline and contributing to a development that will redefine Brisbane’s waterfront for generations to come.

Cogent Scaffolding is proud to be working alongside Infinity Constructions Group Pty Ltd on the Queens Wharf Towers 5 & 6 development, delivering specialised form support scaffold solutions on one of Brisbane’s most significant construction projects.

As the project continues to rise, our role focuses on providing critical support to the formwork systems that shape the structure. To date, over 2,100 tonnes of scaffold has been erected across both towers, reflecting the scale and complexity of the works involved.

Form support scaffold is a highly engineered temporary structure designed to carry the loads of wet concrete, formwork systems, and construction activities until the building elements achieve sufficient strength to support themselves.

Unlike standard access scaffolding, form support requires detailed design, precise load calculations, and careful sequencing to ensure both safety and efficiency on site. It must integrate seamlessly with the formwork methodology, accommodate high load demands, and adapt as the structure progresses floor by floor.

This is one of Cogent Scaffolding’s core specialties. Our team works closely with formwork contractors, engineers, and site teams to deliver systems that are not only compliant and safe, but also practical and efficient to install, adjust, and dismantle as the project evolves.

We look forward to continuing our contribution as Towers 5 & 6 take shape and the broader Queens Wharf precinct progresses.

Cogent Scaffolding is proud to have been awarded the scaffolding labour package for the new $300 million Logan Reserve Special School project.

Right now, the site is a huge stretch of earthworks, machinery and foundations, although we’ve started the scaffold covered walkways for dry access between the work zones. Over the coming months this open space will transform into something far more important: a purpose-built learning environment that will support local students, families and the wider Logan community for generations to come.

Being part of projects like this is what our team is all about. From the ground up, we’re committed to delivering safe, reliable scaffolding solutions that help bring major community infrastructure to life.

We’re looking forward to working alongside the project team and watching this site evolve from a cleared block into a modern education facility that will make a real difference in the community.

Another great Queensland project underway, working with Hutchinson Builders.
