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

Shown here is a scaffold erected for Robertson Construction to construct new student accommodation blocks at Causewayend, Aberdeen. The exterior scaffold face is covered in netting to minimise noise and dust produced from the construction activities from interacting with the public as they walk by. The photo also shows the provision of a loading bay, with a scaffold crash deck underneath to catch any falling materials and act as an enhancing barrier of safety.
Victoria Street, Kirkcaldy

IAS Scaffolding was utilised in the construction of a new housing complex at Victoria Street, Kirkaldy for KJJ Properties.

This photo shows more roof replacement works carried out in Dundee with the scaffolding provided by IAS.
Douglas, Dundee - Roof Replacement Scheme

Another photo of Dundee City Council’s roof replacement project with the scaffolding works carried out by IAS Dundee.
Tayside House, Dundee

The oldest photo in the IAS collection but a flagship project that was carried out in 2011. The scaffold fully encapsulated the old home of Dundee City Council, Tayside House. 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.
Arbroath

Another project by IAS Dundee to allow a roofing contractor safe access to the roof of the property to carry out maintenance and repair works. Another scaffold that required access to the public to be maintained and for pedestrians to be protected by utilising a protective crash deck.
Marketgate, Arbroath
Victoria Street, Dundee
Cala Homes - New Housing Project, Aberdeen

A new housing complex currently constructed in Inverurie near Aberdeen by Cala Homes. The site is a large-scale housing project constructing a high-quality housing scheme – which in turn required high quality scaffolding. Our galvanised Kwikstage system scaffold was highly regarded by the client.
Insulated Render Systems - Exterior Wall Insulation, Dundee

Currently across Scotland Exterior Wall Insulation is being provided to existing council houses by SSE. Here the client, Insulated Render Systems are carrying out the work and this photo shows one of their large scale EWI project at Moncur Crescent, Dundee at the top of the Hilltown. Here we provide a safe working platform to 4 blocks of council flats so that insulation boards can be fixed to the exterior face of the existing walls before they are covered in fresh render. This is part of SSE’s project to increase the insulation levels on council properties and reduce heating costs of the customers.
Dundee and Angus College - Window Replacement

One of the largest projects IAS have completed recently was the project by Esk Glazing to replace every window on the Dundee and Angus College, Dundee.

St Paul's Church - Perth

One of our current flagship projects is the refurbishment of St Pauls Church for Hadden Construction in Perth. This project hosted a number of challenges. Due to the unknown condition of the existing structure many problems had to be overcome as they appeared. This was where the years of experience across the managemnt team and the inhouse engineering department proved to be vital for the quick turnaround of solutions and revised design drawings to overcome the obstacles faced to maintain progress on the project.
Monifeith High Street - McLean Roofing

Prince Charles Wharf - Cantilever Scaffold

A particulary interesting project that required a singificant level of design input and correspondence from our client. We were required to provide a working and access platform, cantilevered 3.5m over the River Tay to allow a Percussion Coring Rig to borehole into the bed of the River Tay. The scaffolding was required to be self supporting, with counter-balances in place to resist over turning whilst also resisting the movement effects of the coring rig.
Clark Contracts - St Andrews

A scaffold erected in in the centre of St Andrews to allow for window replacement and other remedial works to the Buchanan Building. This project posed some logistical issues due to the adjacent narrow roads that were live bus routes.
EWI Project - Oban

A project that was further a field than normal but showing will we travel almost anywhere and provide a quality service! SHown here we are erecting scaffolding to various flatted blocks in Oban to allow for the isntallation of exterior wall insulation and for re-roofing 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.
Balfour Beatty - SSE Main Office - Perth

IAS are accustomed to working with Top Tier contractors such as Balfour Beatty and SSE, on this project we were working with both clients. Balfour Beatty were appointed to renew the cladding on the main entrance to the SSE office in Perth, and IAS provided the access platform to allow them to carry out their work. The scaffold was designed to be free standing stepping under the canopy, secured to the existing columns with box ties and access to the roof.
Dundee University - Tower Building

Another high profile job in Dundee City Centre, just off the Perth Road providing access to allow a local contractor access to carry out remedial works to the facade of the iconic building. Shown here is Phase 1, detailing the lower section of the building including beams over the bridged access road with further phases to follow.
St Andrews - Band Stand

IAS Supplied and erect scaffolding to allow restoration works to the historically significant band stand in St Andrews, right behind the Royal and Ancient Clubhouse. Works are ongoing but we are sure the band stand will be looking brilliant when complete, looking out onto the first tee!
Caledonian House, 324 Union Street

Here at IAS we are accustomed to working around site specific issues built in busy streets, and few are busier than Aberdeen’s Union Street. Working alongside our client we have completed the first phase of a project to revitalize the façade of Caledonian House. A bespoke and complicated beam system transferred the loading away from the existing canopy allowing pedestrian access underneath, which was vitally important as the scaffold was erect on the run up to Christas.
York Terrace, Montrose

Scaffold erected to a tenement block in York Terrace, Montrose to give safe working access for local contractor Mike Watt Construction on behalf of Angus Council to carry out rainwater good repairs to the block .
