The Raglan wharf improvement project run by HEB Construction is one of our latest projects we have been working on.
As part of the improvements, handrails need to be added to the perimeter of the wharf and structure near the harbour.
This required one narrower section of wharf to be scaffolded down the sides of the wharf to provide a working platform to install the handrails, however there was no structure to build the scaffold off. This was when HEB Construction talked to Larry and the team at SafeSmart Access to come up with a solution.
We took the project scope and designed a scaffold fit for the project. This took the headache out of the job by creating a design for the contractor, so they didn't have to think about this. James mentioned "They understood the scope of works, and my problem and my constraints. And then taking that problem and coming up with the solution that we have one site at the moment".
We then utilized our network of scaffolding companies and choose a Scafpro Limited who we thought would be best suited for the job. This saved HEB Construction having to look around for the right scaffolding company that had the capability to do the technical job. This was also a benefit for Scafpro as they didn't have to worry about the design and were involved at the right time in the project just to come on and erect the scaffold to the plan.
We then worked with an engineer to get the PS1 sign off required which again saved HEB having to worry about this.
Listen to Riwi Hamilton from Scafpro Limited and James Fox from HEB Construction.
