Site Survey
Scaffold Design Surveys & Site Visits
✅ Gather information about the site conditions, obstacles, and environmental factors.
✅ Determine the best location, access, and orientation for the scaffold.
✅ Assess wind exposure and other critical site-specific considerations.
✅ Ensure the scaffold is safe and fit for purpose.
✅ Discuss with the Customer all the options and agree a suitable solution.
Depending on the project, a site survey can be conducted before scaffolding is erected or after the scaffold is already in place – for a fast Scaffold Design Solution.
In these cases, we pay particular attention to:
• Structural aspects:
○ Standards spacing and lift heights
○ Bracing (plan bracing and ledger bracing)
○ Overall stability of the scaffold
○ Types of scaffold couplers used
○ Sole boards and ground conditions (checking for potential undermining or instability)
○ Wind analysis for site orientation
○ Beam installation, transom spacing, and scaffold ties
• Health & Safety considerations:
○ Proper installation of handrails (inside and outside), toe boards, and stop-end boards
○ Safe access using ladders or proprietary staircase systems
○ Monarflex or debris-netting protection
○ Assessing risk to the public, particularly in areas with high footfall or public access.
• Fast turnaround and clear communication
• Cost-effective rectification solutions
• We focus on buildability, practicality, and cost-effective solutions – not just compliance.
• We’re committed to keeping your project safe and within budget.
