WHAT WE DO
Scaffold & Temporary Works Design
We specialise in delivering fully compliant scaffold and temporary works design solutions, ensuring safety, efficiency, and reliability on every project. Our designs adhere strictly to the latest Eurocodes, British Standards, and industry regulations, guaranteeing that your structures meet all necessary legal and technical requirements. Whether for complex scaffolding, façade retention, formwork, or falsework, we create tailored solutions to support a wide range of construction and maintenance projects. Our expertise extends across various sectors, including commercial, industrial, and residential developments, providing designs that prioritise structural integrity and ease of assembly.
Our detailed, full-colour drawings include all essential scaffold fittings as standard, offering precise guidance for on-site implementation. Each design is developed with a focus on practicality, ensuring that construction teams can efficiently follow plans without ambiguity.
We also provide calculations and risk assessments to support the design process, helping clients make informed decisions about load capacities, stability, and safety considerations. With a commitment to innovation and compliance, we help contractors, engineers, and site managers navigate the complexities of temporary works, delivering solutions that enhance productivity and minimise risk.
Design Calculations & Finite Element Analysis
We provide comprehensive design calculations to support all our scaffold design drawings, ensuring full compliance with TG20:13, British Standards, and industry regulations. Every design is backed by precise structural analysis, assessing critical factors such as wind, snow, live, and dead loads to guarantee safety and stability. Using advanced Beam Analysis and custom Excel-based calculations, we evaluate structural performance with accuracy, helping clients confidently implement safe and efficient scaffolding solutions. Our calculations ensure that all load-bearing components meet the necessary strength and stability criteria, reducing risks and improving reliability on-site.
For more complex structures, we utilise state-of-the-art 2D and 3D Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to provide an in-depth structural assessment under various load conditions. This advanced modelling approach allows us to simulate real-world forces and identify potential stress points, ensuring optimal design efficiency. By incorporating FEA into our process, we can refine scaffold configurations, optimise material usage, and improve structural resilience.
Whether for standard scaffolding or intricate temporary works, our engineering expertise delivers safe, practical, and cost-effective solutions tailored to project-specific requirements.
As-Built Scaffold Designs
Scaffold configurations often evolve during construction, sometimes deviating from the original design and becoming non-compliant with TG20:13 and other relevant standards. When this happens, we provide as-built scaffold designs to reflect the scaffold’s current setup, ensuring it meets all safety and regulatory requirements. Our team carefully assesses the existing structure, identifying any modifications required for full compliance. We then produce detailed drawings and supporting calculations, giving site teams clear guidance on any necessary adjustments to bring the scaffold up to standard.
If the structure is already sound and meets compliance criteria, we can supply calculations alone to confirm its stability and safety. This service is particularly useful for projects where on-site changes have been made without prior design approval, allowing for a quick and effective solution.
By providing accurate as-built documentation, we help contractors, engineers, and safety inspectors verify scaffold integrity, ensuring that work can continue without unnecessary delays or risks.
Category 3 & Independent Design Checks
For complex scaffold structures, we offer Category 3 design checks in full compliance with BS 5975 and Network Rail standards (F001, F002, F003). These independent checks provide an additional layer of safety and assurance, ensuring that your scaffolding meets all regulatory and structural requirements. Our experienced engineers thoroughly review scaffold designs to verify their stability, strength, and compliance, delivering a full set of calculations along with a formal check certificate. This service is particularly crucial for high-risk or intricate temporary works, where an independent review is essential to confirm design integrity.
If you require a Category 3 check on one of our designs, we provide a complete design package for seamless independent verification. This includes detailed drawings, structural calculations, and supporting documentation, allowing a third-party engineer to validate the design against all necessary standards. Our independent design check service gives clients confidence that their scaffolding solutions are fully compliant, safe, and ready for implementation.
Whether for rail infrastructure, large-scale commercial projects, or complex temporary works, our rigorous checking process ensures the highest levels of safety and reliability.
