Leeds' no. 1 scaffolders
We're a regular feature of Leeds' city streets, so look out for our logo next time you see some scaffolding whilst on your travels! Take a look at some of the projects we've carried out in recent memory.
Leeds General Infirmary 2009
This photo shows the external access scaffold that we put up for building works on the general infirmary in Leeds, back in 2009. The central, left and right blocks all had to be enclosed and fully sheeted.
TOP-FLIGHT DESIGN FOR EXTENSION TO CITY CENTRE CAR PARK IN LEEDS
Q-PARK CAR PARK, LEEDS
Working closely with the main contractor at tender stage helped SAY to secure the scaffold contract to increase the capacity of a busy city centre Leeds car park. SAY provided vital technical assistance, input on planning and, of course, value for money, to win the contract, which involved building two new storeys on top of the car park's existing ten storeys.
One requirement of the scaffold design was that there was to be no disruption to the restaurant that operates on the car park’s ground floor. In addition, the scaffold solution had to allow the car park to remain open for business during the course of the work: the only disruption allowed was to the top two levels of existing structure.
.. the scaffold solution had to allow the car park to remain open for business
SAY’s solution was to construct a cantilevered scaffold braced off the eighth-floor car park level with both fan board and safety net protection. A combination of steel unit and 450 beams were trussed out of the car park from this level, and with the use of an additional 450 and 750 beams a substantial beam collar was erected around the perimeter of the building, from which the independent scaffold was erected.
Extendable transforms were used to allow flexibility when constructing both the concrete structure and the clad finish to the building. Further scaffolding incorporated internal access for the extension of stairwells and lift shafts.
