Company: Kier Construction

Duration: 5 – 8 years

Project: Housing Development

Location: Spalding, Lincolnshire

Rilmac Scaffolding have been on site at the Kingfisher Court housing development, providing access solutions for Kier Construction, for around five years already, and will be on site for at least two more.  The development has seen one of the first uses of the new Trad Deck safety system since we took delivery of this exciting new product.  The Trad Deck system allows us to position plastic legs and boards inside each property as it is built, without the need for damaging fixing to the internal walls.  The flooring then acts as a safe barrier for those working at height, including our own scaffolders.  Once the brickwork has reached a certain level the Trad Deck is installed prior to building traditional metal scaffolding externally.  Once the ceiling / floor is installed by the joiners the Trad Deck can be moved up a level providing safety higher up the building, including for roofers.
The Trad Deck product is lighter and quicker to manoeuvre than traditional tubes and boards, which allows us to rotate our services quickly and easily between buildings.  We are looking forward to continuing on this development with Kier Construction until the entire project is complete.
