The brief
We were asked to design and build a large scaffold in floor level lifts to facilitate the construction of a new fifteen storey apartment block with multi adaptions for brickwork and window installation along with various loading bays and internal works.
The challenges we faced
The project stands on a very busy road and at fifteen storeys required careful planning and the use of combi nets as the scaffold progressed up the RC frame. We faced a challenging programme and with the use of canti-decks we pre-loaded the floors to enable the best possible time frame for erecting the scaffold.
Interesting facts about the project
58-70 York Road is a residential development on a 0.34-hectare site in Battersea, nestled on the South Side of the River Thames in between Wandsworth Bridge and Battersea Bridge, offering exclusive Studio, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments.
Outcome
We are pleased to have developed our services into this new sector for Masons Scaffolding and look forward to carrying out many more high rise new build scaffolds.
