Contract Scaffolding
Wood Group Industrial Services Limited is an established
supplier of full turnkey access and scaffolding systems. Innovative
and cost effective design solutions meet the demanding access and
technical requirements of a wide range of projects in the
construction, marine, transport infrastructure and civil
engineering sectors.
An active member of the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation's Technical Committee, we have extensive expertise in the design, supply, and installation of all forms of access, containment and enclosure systems that meet the highest safety standards as well as complying with all regulatory and environmental controls.
A wide range of systems is provided:
• Traditional tube and fitting systems
• System scaffolding
• Temporary formwork/falsework and roofs
• Lightweight and Kwikform systems
• Bespoke access systems
• Rope Access
The Group designs, erects, hires and dismantles temporary
scaffolding structures that allow access for ongoing maintenance,
inspection, periodic scheduled shutdowns, capital improvements and
emergency repairs. The vast majority of scaffolding services are
performed on large, complex industrial sites, ships, oil rigs,
bridges and pipe networks.
The Group designs the scaffolding or temporary access works to be
erected, provides skilled labour for the erection and dismantling
the scaffold and inspects such structures to ensure no unauthorised
adaptions have been made and the temporary works structure
continues to provide a safe working platform.
Wood Group Industrial Services Limited maintains stocks of
'system' and 'tube and fitting' type scaffolds to enable a wide
range of structures to be accessed in the most cost effective and
safe manner. As at 31 December 2012 the Group owned scaffolding
with an estimated replacement value of £8.3million. In addition to
traditional scaffolding services, the Group provides other
specialist work access solutions such as rope access or mobile
erected work platforms.
Much of the Group's equipment is located at customer sites and it
is often erected and dismantled repeatedly as a part of the ongoing
maintenance of a customer's facility or as part of providing access
for an engineering project
