Heavy Duty Industrial Scaffolding

Industrial scaffolding is engineered for heavier loads, larger spans, and more complex configurations. It requires enhanced tie patterns, reinforced platforms, and specialized design calculations to support industrial equipment, material storage, and heavy-duty operations that standard scaffolding can't accommodate.

Our industrial scaffolding systems are designed for loads from standard duty (0.75 kN/m²) up to heavy duty (3.0 kN/m² or more). Each structure is engineered with specific load calculations to safely support your equipment, materials, and operational requirements.

Yes. We specialize in planned shutdown scaffolding for factories, power plants, refineries, and industrial facilities. Our teams work to tight schedules, providing rapid installation and dismantling to minimize downtime during critical maintenance windows.

Absolutely. We regularly install scaffolding in operational facilities with strict safety protocols, permit-to-work systems, and minimal disruption procedures. Our teams are experienced in working around live plant, machinery, and ongoing industrial operations.

All our industrial scaffolding teams are CISRS-qualified with additional certifications for confined spaces, PASMA, IPAF, and asbestos awareness. Many hold advanced scaffolding qualifications and site-specific industrial training for sectors including chemical, pharmaceutical, and energy.

We can typically mobilize industrial scaffolding teams within 24-48 hours for emergency situations. Planned projects receive detailed pre-installation surveys, design documentation, and scheduled installation to meet your shutdown or project timelines.

Yes. All heavy-duty industrial scaffolding includes full temporary works design by qualified engineers, with structural calculations, load specifications, and design drawings meeting BS 5975 and client-specific requirements.

Our heavy-duty industrial scaffolding systems support loads from 3.0 kN/m2 (Class 4) for general heavy work up to 6.0 kN/m2 (Class 6) for masonry and exceptional loads. Systems can be engineered for specific equipment weights, material storage, and operational requirements exceeding standard specifications.

Heavy-duty industrial scaffolding uses reinforced standards, enhanced ledger connections, and closer bay spacings to achieve higher load capacities. It requires more complex engineering design, heavier components, and typically costs 30-50% more than standard industrial scaffolding due to material and engineering requirements.

All heavy-duty industrial scaffolding includes comprehensive documentation: BS 5975 compliant temporary works design, structural calculations with load specifications, general arrangement and detail drawings, handover certificates with explicit load ratings, and method statements meeting client and regulatory requirements.
