Inner City Scaffolding was appointed to design and build a fully suspended access solution within a large indoor facility – believed to be the UK’s largest suspended scaffold from a roof structure to date.

Due to the limited load capacity of the roof steels, traditional tube and fitting scaffolding was not viable. Instead, a HAKI system scaffold was engineered and suspended from over 220 roof-mounted suspension points. This self-cantilevered solution provided nearly 3,000m² of safe working access, overcoming significant structural and logistical challenges. 

• Suspended Scaffold Design: Fully suspended/self-cantilevered HAKI system scaffold; and Engineered to suit roof steel load limitations
• Structural Integration: 220 suspension points; and Approx. 100,000kg of suspended access safely supported
• Scale & Innovation: Nearly 3,000m² of suspended scaffold coverage; and believed to be the UK’s largest scaffold suspended from a roof structure 

This project exemplifies Inner City Scaffolding’s ability to deliver innovative access solutions at scale. Our technical design, structural coordination, and execution of a complex suspended scaffold system enabled safe and efficient works within a highly constrained indoor environment – completed over a 40-week programme.
