Project Overview

The Brief & Scope of Work

JCM Scaffolding LTD supplied and erected a specialist demolition scaffold for a building situated on a busy Swinton main road. Our team managed a complex setup that required a bridged beam section to maintain essential vehicle access for neighbouring residents throughout the project. By coordinating closely with the demolition team, we ensured the structure was adapted level-by-level as the building was safely dismantled.

Our Approach

How We Delivered The Project

The main structure was up in a single day, followed by several site visits to adapt the lift levels as the building came down.

Design & Survey

Our survey identified a narrow access point, so we designed a beam section to span the alleyway for resident vehicles.

Safe Setup

We ensured a full safety barrier was in place to protect pedestrians and motorists from the demolition works.

Phased Adaptation

Our team returned to site regularly over two weeks to modify the scaffold as the building height was reduced.

Clean Site

We kept the access routes clear of gear and performed a prompt strike-down once the demolition was finished.
