QFS scaffolding services
Complex scaffold design
Complex scaffold packages depend on a clear understanding of the existing structure, proposed load paths, construction sequence and interfaces with temporary and permanent works. QFS brings estimating, engineering and operational input together before erection begins.
Planned properly. Managed carefully. Delivered safely.
What the service can include.
- Bespoke scaffold arrangements
- Gallows and supported scaffolds
- Bridging gantries
- Protection and containment scaffolds
- Design coordination with existing structures
- Engineering input during tender
Planning and coordination
The scaffold is part of the programme.
Early technical review allows the access concept to be tested against the realities of the structure and programme. This helps establish where loads can be transferred, where clear spans are required and how the scaffold will change as construction or demolition progresses.
The design cannot be separated from delivery. QFS coordinates engineering decisions with erection methodology, material movements, inspection requirements and the needs of the people who will use the scaffold throughout the project.
Controlled delivery
From early review to dismantling.
- Define the access and protection requirement
- Review structural information and constraints
- Develop the scaffold concept
- Coordinate design interfaces
- Plan erection and alteration sequences
- Maintain design control through delivery
Relevant environments
Capability applied where it matters.
- High-rise remediation
- Controlled demolition
- Constrained urban sites
- Major refurbishment
- Heritage structures
- Façade remediation
