Waste Facility Roof Access, Sutton-in-Ashfield — Fall Protection case study

Waste Facility Roof Access, Sutton-in-Ashfield

Fixed Ladder

Challenge

Facade access was constrained by the site layout. We overcame it with an aluminium tower scaffold to safely install the ladder, and opened up sections of the cladding to fix the support brackets directly back to the primary structure — a prerequisite for a secure, compliant installation.

Approach

Site survey, design proposals, on-site works, commissioning.

Outcome

Delivered on programme and to the client's satisfaction, with positive feedback on workmanship and site conduct.
