Name: Ilford Station – Phase 1

Location: London

Sector: Railway

Value: £200,000

Scope

Inner City Scaffolding was appointed to deliver a bespoke scaffold access solution for Phase 1 of the Ilford Station redevelopment – a rail demolition project requiring precise planning and execution within limited possession windows.

Works were carried out over the Christmas and New Year period, with an independent scaffold walkway erected from internal bridge beams. These beams were supported by tubes clamped directly to the station wall, allowing safe access for demolition and structural works.

In addition, Inner City supplied an independent scaffold to the side entrance, enabling the installation of a new steel tower and power supplies for the future station entrance. Our involvement continued throughout the year, supporting the client in delivering the new station hall and entrance. 

Key Deliverables

  • Full Scaffold Design: Independent scaffold walkway erected from internal bridge beams; and Wall-clamped tube supports for structural stability
  • Access & Enablement: Side entrance scaffold for steel tower and power supply installation; and Continued scaffold support for station hall completion
  • Rail-Specific Planning: Works delivered during short possession periods over holiday schedule; and Collaborative planning to meet rail safety and programme requirements

Outcome

Ilford Station Phase 1 highlights Inner City Scaffolding’s ability to deliver precision-engineered access solutions in live rail environments. Our design-led approach, possession planning, and structural ingenuity enabled safe and efficient progress during a critical phase of the station redevelopment. programme.
