Construction Projects:
P.B Scaffold Design are experts in producing professional temporary works designs & solutions to the construction sector. Our work ranges from designs for small domestic projects to major construction projects valued at over £100m. We have carried designs on numerous major construction projects throughout the UK, either working with scaffold contractors or directly for main clients. Our extensive experience covers all forms of construction work and a selection of our projects can be seen below:
Leeds Arena:
PBSD were tasked with designing a full external access scaffold for glazing and cladding works to the new arena building in Leeds city centre. The scaffold was a designed as a double width independent that required the full top half to be to cantilevered to follow the curved profile of the building. The design also required various openings forming in the façade scaffold using 750dp Alloy unit beams along with a complex design for the main access Hoist support & walkway. Work on the £60m project started in February 2011, and the building was topped-
The Arts Tower -
The Arts Tower at Sheffield University underwent major restoration during2009/10. 35 Lifts, over 600 meters of aluminium beams and over 20 design drawings means some projects require a little more than your average.
The Headrow -
P.B. Scaffold Design were requested to design this complex external scaffold to facilitate the repair and extention of this large land mark building on The Headrow, Leeds, West Yorkshire. Due to the volume of traffic on the ground, the scaffold had to be designed with a minmal amount of scaffold founded on the pavement.
The Humber Bridge -
The scaffold was designed to allow the invasive inspection of the tower level sections of the main cable. The scaffold was fully encapsulated and due to the weather conditions that the Humber Bridge faces, this brought its own compexities with regards to the design.
Smith & Nephew -
Smith & Nephew, a global medical devices company, needed repairs making to the roof of one of their premises in Kingston Upon Hull. A design was created that incorporated a support scaffold and a mobile temporary roof system.
Leeds University Clock tower:
The Parkinson Building is a Grade II listed ‘art deco’ building located at the University of Leeds. When repair work was required on the 57meter high clock tower PBSD produced a scheme that could be trussed out from the belfry and then cantilevered around the clock tower without the need for any support legs from the lower roofs. The scaffold was also designed with protective butt ties & plan bracing to form wind girders, thus avoiding the need for drilled anchor type ties.
Co-
PB Scaffold design were tasked with designing an internal access scaffold for installation of the main glazed roof structure. The design required the atrium to be left open with no leg loads permitted on the ground floor slab. A solution was achieved by erecting an independent scaffold around the perimeter of the atrium based out on a grillage of steel Ub's that spanned between the main basement columns. The independents where then linked together using aluminium trusses spanning 22.5m to support a 17.5m high birdcage. When completed the total height of the scaffold will be in excess of 60m with a combined Total D+L load of 560 tonnes!
South Hook LNG Facility -
A royal visit from the queen required a support scaffold for the vip hospitality tents, dome and access ramps. South Hook is undertaking an ambitious project, which upon completion will be able to provide the U.K. with a massive proportion of its natural gas.
