The Globe Group is thrilled to be providing scaffolding and roofing services for the development of the old West Ham football ground. This is an incredible project, and we are proud to be a part of it.
Our scope of works for this project includes the provision of access scaffolding and temporary roofing. Our team is using independent general-purpose scaffolding with a safe working load of 2.0kN/m2. The scaffold is arranged in 4 + 2 boards wide and erected in approximately 2m high lifts. All lifts are fully boarded with double handrails, toe boards, and integral ladder access, making it a safe and secure environment for workers.
We have also erected scaffolding to the perimeter of the buildings, which were 85m long x 11m wide on plan. The scaffold has been erected in 7 lifts up to the roof level, with all fully boarded working lifts for full access. Additionally, we have erected a hoist tower to access the roof level and support the 500kg goods hoist.
To ensure that the building is weatherproof during the development process, we have installed a full roof over the entire building, which covers an area of 935m². The roof is formed of a pitched roof by adding an additional 2m high lift on the scaffold and using Aluminum beams to span over the roof and the scaffold to create the roof. The roof is covered in shrink wrap plastic sheeting to create a weatherproof enclosure that allows light to penetrate. The sheeting continues down to the boarded platform at the roof level, where the tower section is stepped up to go over the top of this section rather than making the whole roof the same height. This sliding moveable roof is a testament to our team’s skill and attention to detail.
The Globe Group has a reputation for providing high-quality scaffolding and roofing services to the construction industry. We are proud to be part of this incredible scheme, and we look forward to continuing to provide the best possible service to our clients.
