Projects
Midland Line Fire recovery – Kiwi Rail
One of our most significant project has been the Midland line fire recovery project. Following the large fire which burned between Cass and Springfield leaving several bridges with fire damage. Our Southern Lakes crew built an amazing scaffold to be able to assist the crew to re sleeper the damaged bridges and create an easy and safe access for our client.
NCTIR:
SL Scaffold worked with NCTIR over 18 months helping get the road open from Christchurch to Picton. We completed complex structures including access towers, hanging scaffolds to enable the construction of the new marina and Iron gate bridge in Kaikoura. We also built Tunnel protection scaffold to protect the traffic.
Hapuku Bridge
SL Scaffold constructed a Hanging scaffold on Hapuku river road bridge on state highway 1. As part of the Kaikoura earthquake rebuild the bridge needed to be lifted off the pier caps. This allowed for the tightening and re strengthening of the bridge connection. For the NCTIR workers to carry out these repairs, a scaffold platform below the bridge on either side of the pier cap was needed. The scaffold platform had to be supported solely from the bridge as when the bridge was lifted the scaffold would need to move with it. Our scaffold team put great thought into how to achieve this platform safely and to the NCTIR team’s requirements.
Orange Homes
The boys did a fantastic job at building a strong and safe scaffold, that got the Southern Lakes seal of approval. This was a tricky build on a small section with the crews having to really think and plan out how it was going to work smoothly for the builders. The job was built amazingly and made a niggly space not seem like an issue for our clients.
Southbase Gloucester Street
Our staff did a great job working on this site every day to ensure all the scaffold is built to the heights safety standards and our clients specific requirements. Southern Lakes worked on this project daily for two years with a constant crew working on site building scaffold and propping the building. We started with the propping of the 120 ton, 26m high panels built on site and propping all floor levels. This was an amazing project to be a part of and to watch evolve into the new Christchurch central library.
Day Bros – Painters
We erected a scaffold around the front and right-hand side of this building for the office to be re painted. The scaffolding was done to an extremely high standard like always and was also appealing to the eye. We make sure our jobs fit to the client’s needs whatever they may be this is why the planning stage is so important.
