Name: Ilford Station – Phase 2
Location: London
Sector: Railway
Value: £150,000
Scope
Inner City Scaffolding was appointed to deliver a bespoke scaffold solution for Phase 2 of the Ilford Station redevelopment – a rail project requiring precision planning and execution within a 48-hour possession window.
Works were delivered through 12-hour back-to-back shifts to meet a tight deadline. Our pre-construction planning enabled the client to request a design change just four hours ahead of schedule, which was successfully implemented without impacting the programme.
Beam sections were fabricated in advance and lifted into position by crane to support scaffold towers founded within the station footbridge, ensuring structural integrity and safe access for follow-on trades.
Key Deliverables
- Full Scaffold Design: Independent scaffold towers founded within footbridge; and Pre-fabricated beam sections lifted by crane
- Rail-Specific Execution: 48-hour possession with continuous 12-hour shifts; and Real-time design change implemented without delay
- Planning & Collaboration: Early fabrication of beam sections; and Seamless coordination with client and rail programme
Outcome
Ilford Station – Phase 2 reflects Inner City Scaffolding’s agility and precision in delivering complex rail access solutions under time-critical conditions. Our proactive planning, responsive design capability, and collaborative execution ensured successful delivery within the 30-week programme.
