Mining Operations & Maintenance

Managing scaffold builds on a mining facilities involves coordinating the construction of scaffolding structures that allow workers to safely access different levels of the mining site. This typically includes designing and planning the scaffold builds, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and standards, managing the budget and timeline for the project, and coordinating with various stakeholders such as trade contractors, engineers, and safety inspectors.

​

The scaffold builds may involve different types of scaffolding systems, including tube and clamp, system, and suspended scaffolds, depending on the specific requirements of the mining site. It is also important to ensure that the scaffolding structures are regularly inspected and maintained to ensure they remain safe for workers to use.

​

Effective communication and collaboration are essential to successful scaffold builds on a mining facility. This requires working closely with other departments and contractors to ensure that everyone is aware of the schedule and requirements for the scaffold builds, and that any issues or concerns are addressed promptly. Additionally, it is important to maintain open lines of communication with workers on the site to ensure that they are aware of any potential hazards or changes to the scaffold builds that may affect their work.

Oil & Gas

Providing scaffold management and erection services for oilsands projects involves designing, planning, and constructing temporary structures that support workers and equipment during construction, maintenance, and repair activities in the oilsands industry. This includes ensuring the safety of workers by implementing proper procedures, equipment, and training, as well as overseeing the dismantling and removal of the scaffolds once the work is complete.

Executing scaffolding to result in no incidents requires a comprehensive approach to planning, implementing, and monitoring scaffold management and erection services. Some key elements that can help us achieve this goal are:

Proper planning and design: The first step is to develop a detailed plan for the scaffolding project, including the number and types of scaffolds needed, the materials required, and the timeline for completion. This plan should be based on an accurate assessment of the work requirements and site conditions. Additionally, the scaffolds should be designed to meet all applicable safety regulations and standards.

Rigorous training and supervision: Scaffold erection and management requires skilled workers who have received adequate training on the safe use of scaffolding materials, equipment, and procedures. This training should include an emphasis on hazard identification and mitigation, as well as proper assembly, dismantling, and inspection techniques. Workers should also be supervised and monitored to ensure they are following all safety protocols.

Quality control and inspections: Regular inspections of scaffolds and equipment can help identify any defects or issues that may compromise safety. Inspections should be conducted by qualified personnel and should follow established protocols. Additionally, a system should be in place for tracking and managing the inventory of scaffold materials to ensure that all equipment is properly maintained, replaced as necessary, and stored securely.

Effective communication and collaboration: Good communication and collaboration between all stakeholders involved in the scaffolding project is critical for ensuring safety. This includes contractors, subcontractors, engineers, and workers. Clear communication channels should be established, and regular meetings should be held to discuss any issues or concerns that arise.

By implementing these measures, scaffold management and erection services can be performed safely and efficiently, even when dealing with millions of pounds of materials. Ongoing monitoring and review of safety procedures can help identify any areas for improvement and ensure that the highest standards of safety are maintained

Commercial & Institutional

Performing scaffolding for hospitals, schools and commercial spaces requires special considerations to ensure the safety of workers, patients, visitors and the public. Here are some key factors that should be taken into account:

Access requirements: Scaffolding must be designed and erected in such a way as to provide safe and convenient access to all areas that require work, including ceilings, walls, and high-level windows. In hospitals, scaffolding must also be designed to allow safe passage for medical equipment, such as hospital beds and gurneys.

Minimizing disruption: Hospitals and commercial spaces are typically busy environments with a lot of foot traffic, so it is important to minimize disruption to operations and ensure that work can be performed safely without interfering with daily activities. Scaffolding should be erected in a way that minimizes the impact on the surrounding area, and work should be scheduled during periods of low activity, such as evenings and weekends.

Safety considerations: Safety is paramount when performing scaffolding work in hospitals and commercial spaces. This includes ensuring that all workers are properly trained and equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE). Additionally, scaffolding must be designed and erected in compliance with all relevant safety standards and regulations.

Protection of sensitive equipment and materials: Hospitals, schools and commercial spaces often contain sensitive equipment and materials that must be protected during scaffolding work. This requires careful planning and coordination to ensure that the scaffolding does not cause damage to equipment or disrupt operations.

Environmental considerations: Hospitals, schools and commercial spaces are often located in urban environments where there are strict environmental regulations in place. It is important to ensure that scaffolding work does not generate excessive noise or pollution, and that all waste materials are disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.

By taking these factors into account, scaffolding work can be performed safely and efficiently in hospitals and commercial spaces, with minimal disruption to daily activities and with due consideration to the unique requirements of each space.

Residential

Building scaffolding for residential projects requires special consideration for the safety of workers and the impact on neighbours. Here are some key factors that should be taken into account:

Safety considerations: Safety is the top priority when building scaffolding on residential projects. Scaffolding must be designed and erected in compliance with all relevant safety standards and regulations. Workers must be properly trained and equipped with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).

Minimizing disruption: Building scaffolding can cause disruption to the neighbourhood, so it is important to minimize this disruption as much as possible. This includes scheduling work during periods of low activity, such as evenings and weekends, and ensuring that the scaffolding does not interfere with traffic or pedestrian access.

Protection of neighbouring properties: Scaffolding can have an impact on neighbouring properties, particularly if it encroaches on their property or blocks their view. It is important to ensure that neighbouring properties are not damaged during the construction process and that their access is not impeded.

Communication with neighbours: Good communication with neighbours is essential when building scaffolding on residential projects. This includes providing advance notice of the work, explaining the purpose of the scaffolding, and addressing any concerns or questions they may have. It is also important to maintain open lines of communication throughout the construction process.

Environmental considerations: Building scaffolding can generate noise and dust that can have an impact on the environment. It is important to ensure that work is conducted in compliance with all relevant environmental regulations and that waste materials are disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.

By taking these factors into account, scaffolding can be built safely and efficiently on residential projects, with due consideration to the impact on neighbours and the environment. Good communication and planning are key to minimizing disruption and ensuring that the work is completed to a high standard.
