Baden Powell House

Inner City Scaffolding was appointed to deliver a full access and logistics package for the refurbishment of Baden Powell House – our first project for this new client. The rear elevation required a bespoke scaffold solution founded on load-bearing steel columns spaced every 3–4 metres. To achieve this, we installed dolly towers connected with X Beams across the entire rear façade, punching up to provide working lifts at each floor level.

A protection deck was erected over lightwells, and two 1500kg goodsonly hoists were installed to facilitate material movement. The front elevation posed additional challenges, including maintaining live access during works and adapting to the stepped façade at first floor level. A third standard was introduced to maintain a continuous low-level working platform. Inner City also managed the pavement license on behalf of the client.

• Full Scaffold Design
• Rear Elevation: Dolly towers and X Beam integration; Floor-level lifts for
  full-height access; and Protection deck over lightwells
• Front Elevation: Scaffold adapted to stepped façade; and Continuous working platform maintained
• Logistics & Compliance: 2nr 1500kg goods-only hoists; Lifting frame; and Pavement license management

Baden Powell House exemplifies Inner City Scaffolding’s ability to engineer bespoke scaffold solutions in constrained and live environments. Our collaborative approach, technical design, and logistical support ensured a smooth delivery across both elevations within the 20-week programme.
