“ An Australian First ” at Esperance Port
Esperance Port had a specific remit for suspended ( hanging ) scaffold on a planned shutdown for the blasting and painting of a conveyor structure over the water . The required scaffold was to be 25m long x 8m wide x 12m high with 5 working platforms both sides and a full dance floor deck top and bottom . We also had to achieve a maximum dead load weight of 400kgs per linear metre , which was impossible with conventional steel scaffolding .
Due to an approaching deadline there was little time to achieve this .
SMS came to the rescue with ' SCAFFMAN 9 - ALLOY 220 SCAFFOLD SYSTEM '
The result was a set of 3 craneable and light weight scaffolds rated at 450kgs SWL ( Medium Duty ), which comfortably complied with the dead load weight restrictions whilst allowing major works to be performed based on the working duty required .
The craneable engineered design reduced the build by 50 % and the dismantling time by 70 % resulting in massive time reductions and down time for the conveyor .
SMS director Mark Welsh said ‘’ We were set a technical challenge that I knew our Scaffman 9 Alloy 220 system scaffold was perfectly suited to . This is a first in Australia and I am very happy with the result , as is the client . I look forward to taking this concept to a wider field of customers as the benefits are phenomenal !’’
