Design Check for Heritage Building Scaffolds

Design check for heritage building scaffolds from Access Design & Safety covers every element of the design, from the calculations through to how the scaffold will sit on your actual site.

A second pair of eyes on a scaffold design is not a luxury. On complex temporary works it is a requirement. Category 3 checks must be carried out by a separate organisation, and that is exactly the service we provide.

Design Check for Heritage Building Scaffolds: Getting It Right First Time

Old buildings are rarely square, rarely level and often fragile. Ties into historic masonry need careful thought, and in many cases they are not allowed at all. That usually means a self supporting or buttressed scaffold, with the loads worked out properly. We have plenty of experience on heritage and religious buildings and know how to keep the structure safe without damaging the fabric of the building.

What Our Design Check Covers

• Review of drawings and calculations against current codes including TG20:21
• Accuracy check on every calculation
• Assessment of site location and prevailing wind loads
• Category 3 (CAT III) independent checks available
• A clear report so you can decide your next steps
