University of Westminster

Contract	University of Westminster
Client	University of Westminster
Main Contractor	Cosmur Construction (London) Ltd

Description:

This project entailed hoisting around 40 tonnes of scaffolding plant over a busy Regent St up onto the university roof. This meant that combined with a very stringent programme the health and safety requirements were extremely high. Good liaison with the client enabled a strike and shift programme to be drawn up which allowed for the works to be completed within the allotted timescale. This plant then had to be lowered down the rear of the building to allow a scaffold that had been specifically designed to keep loadings off of the low level roofs to be built. There were some very historic roof lights that had to be protected at all costs – thankfully our considerate operatives performed admirably allowing a potentially troublesome project being completed successfully and on time for all parties.

Contract	Swan Car Park, Leatherhead
Client	Travelodge plc
Main Contractor	Anglo Holt Ltd

Description:

This allows a much faster erection, which is essential in timber frame construction, and greater flexibility and hence speed in the adaptation of the scaffold for the brickwork contractor.

Main Contractor	Botes  Construction Ltd

Livingstone House

Contract	Livingstone House, Wyndham Rd SE5
Client	London Borough Of Southwark
Main Contractor	Albert Soden Ltd

Description:

This contract involved the complete re-roofing of all sections of Livingstone House whilst at the same time allowing a full external refurbishment of the block. To ensure that the tenants could remain in residence the Client decided to provide a full scaffold that would incorporate a temporary roof. In discussions with the Main Contractor, Admiral suggested the use of a lightweight Haki temporary roof system. (For more details of this type of scaffold please refer to our specialist page.)

The roof proved challenging because it had to cover four sections of Livingstone House, each of which abutted at right angles a roof of a different height. Admiral designed a scheme which allowed for spine beams to bridge the lower roofs allowing the abutment to be made watertight.
