IAS Scaffolding Gallery

Clepington Primary School, Dundee

Dundee City Council required access to the roof of Clepington Primary School to carry out roofing repairs after leaks appeared following a bout of bad weather. The scaffold was a tall scaffold construction, standing at 7 storeys high and as tools and materials were required to be carried to the top of the scaffold a stair access was provided. The project also required a quick turnaround as all works were to be completed and cleared over the Dundee School holidays.

Scaffolding in Dundee should also aim to minimise disruption on the ground.
Pentland Crescent, Dundee

As part of Dundee City Councils remediation programme to council housing scaffolding was required to be erected across Dundee to allow roofers to carry out repair works on a number of tenement blocks. Shown here is one section of scaffolding in Dundee, showing the working lift at the gutter height of the structure and also a waste chute to allow the trades working on the roof to safely discard any waste produced down to a skip on the ground elevation without posing a hazard to residents walking nearby.
Huntly Road, Dundee

Shown here is another section of roofing works carried out for Dundee City Council at Pentland Crescent, Dundee.
Albert Street, Dundee

Perimeter scaffold was erected to all elevations of flats located on Albert Street/Victoria Road junction to allow Bell Group to safely replace the windows on all elevations. The scaffold was on a prominent street in Dundee and required access to be maintained on the footpath underneath the scaffold for pedestrians, with padding secured to the standard legs to protect members of the public.

This project required scaffolding in Dundee with minimal disruption on the ground.
Caird Hall, Dundee

The Caird hall is the main centre for events and functions in Dundee and is located directly in the city square. IAS Dundee ltd provided the scaffolding to carry out remedial works to the building. Seen here is a section of the scaffold showing a ladder access tower and a section of scaffold beamed over a stairway entrance to the courtyard to ensure pedestrian access was maintained through the stairwell at all times throughout the works.
Student Accommodation, Causewayend, Aberdeen

As part of the of Dundee City Councils Waterfront re-development project the tower was to be demolished to construct Slessor Gardens, a new open garden music venue. The scaffolding fully surrounded the 18-storey building and allowed for piecemeal demolition of the structure.
The Cross, Forfar

Scaffold was required for remedial works to the windows and roof of the existing property. Debris netter was utilised to prevent small fragments of debris from projecting from the working platforms and entering the public domain. This alongside the use of a protective crash deck ensured that the passing public of Forfar were safe throughout the works.

Cosmos Projects - Eden Mill Boiler House

A project that proved particularly challenging and required significant design input. Access and roof edge protection was required to span a fragile asbestos roof at the old Boiler House, Eden Mill in Guardbridge. As the roof was not structurally sound we could not build off the roof as standard - as a result we constructed the beamed sections on the ground and fixed into place by lifting the beams into position via crane. The span on the beams was 21m - the longest span achieved by the company.

Some of these tanks were built in the 1970’s and the prestressed concrete was in need of repair. We provided external access scaffold to the exterior to allow remediation works to be carried out. There was also extensive scaffolding inside the tank, that acted as both a propping system to the existing roof as the dimensions could not be ascertained due to the age of the drawings.
