Happy International Women's Day! Thank you to all of the incredible women in our lives ❤️

This week we are also celebrating Women in Construction Week, we are joining the industry to promote the role of women in construction, where only 15% of the industry is made up of women, and even less in the Scaffolding Industry.

Let's encourage more women to join our teams and bridge the gender gap in construction. Perhaps the future will look different...

We hope all of our friends and clients had a lovely break even though it may already seem like a distant memory.
It was nice to get back into the swing of things with erecting an access to all areas scaffold at Lloyds, Deal last week. Well done to the boys for putting up this beauty 👨🏻‍🔧😍👏🏼

Huge thanks to The Scaffolding Association and AccessPoint for asking us to be featured in their national magazine. It was a pleasure 🙏🏻

Fully Audited Members of the Scaffolding Association, Erect Direct, working alongside Associate Members, Double Scaffold Design Limited, were tasked with providing a complete access and protection structure for remedial works on Primark’s building in Brighton

Great Portland Street Station (London Underground)

We were tasked with providing access to the central flat roof of this unusual shaped building;
Due to the building being Grade II listed, we were unable to tie to the facade, instead we had to widen the access scaffold and introduce 2 tonnes of kentledge to both 1st and 2nd lifts.
Another obstacle was that neither the pitched roof, nor the flat roof were deemed safe to apply any loadings. We therefore had to locate the structural steels beneath the flat roof and erect a supporting frame constructed of ladder beams which spanned the steels before we erected the scaffold to support the main beams spanning the roof 😵‍💫.

All works undertaken whilst the general public were tucked up in bed and were none the wiser.

No ties, no probs! 👨🏻‍🔧💪🏼

Asda, Corby.
Freestanding staircase for roof access.
A lovely design for accessing the roof of a cladded structure with no physical ties. Independent on the inside, extending past the staircase at both sides to act as a lateral buttress, and the staircase erected end-on to act as a secondary buttress to stop the scaffold coming away from the building 👨🏻‍🔧👌🏼

No ties, no problem 😉

No ties? No problem!

Queensway Station, London Underground

Good to see this one finally up after a lot of planning.

Due to historic listed building reasons, the scaffold was not to be tied to the Fayence façade which led to numerous design changes. The result was multiple buttress towers, internally self weighted with kentledge and rakered back to the bridged independent whilst maintaining pedestrian access to the footpaths and clear access to the various business and station entrances.

Thanks to the boys for working weekends and evenings to erect this job when footfall was at it's quietest and to not disturb the Hilton Hotel above 👨🏻‍🔧
