BUILT Construction
Project Dates: Sep 2021 to Dec 2022
Project Description:In September 2021 Safe and Sound started early works for Perth’s First Timber & Steel hybrid 11-story development. Vehicle access and general space on site proved to be difficult on this project. Handrail and small scaffold installs for demolition works started as we planned a safe and quick method to erect the 55m high façade scaffold on the building’s Eastern elevation. Safety for surrounding buildings and public walkways was our number one concern, so we developed a plan to erect the façade scaffold in cranable modules. This design is for maximum safety during the erection and dismantling process, the scaffold was built in individual modules and then craned into position. This process reduces risks while working at heights and enabled us to keep up with the fast-moving schedule while keeping a high safety factor. Swing stages, massive birdcage, riser shaft and void scaffolds kept our team busy on this project, but it was our WorkRight system that was the centre of attention. The WorkRight system allows us to install a handrail on the live edge of each floor level and then attach a fan/catch net or monorail for the safety and installation of the façade works.
