Up on the roof at Hollandgreen

22 February 2013

Early works are well underway at the Hollandgreen Project with Mace Ltd.

GKR were required to supply a scaffold platform to the hip. The initial idea was to provide a stepped platform all the way up the hip, it soon became apparent that this would be a workable solution as the workforce had to be as close to the hip as possible.

Each staircase contains 87 Aluminium stair treads, and the staircase can only be accessed using a double lanyard. An access gate to the hip was supplied every 4m and the structure was completed in aluminium taking just over a week to construct. Working at such heights the 100% tethering system enforced by GKR proved successful once again.
