We provided the scaffold design for the Cecil Avenue development in Wembley — a major 237-home residential scheme delivered by Wates Residential for Brent Council as part of the wider Wembley Housing Zone regeneration. The project required full perimeter access scaffolding to a multi-block, nine-storey new-build development at the junction of Wembley High Road and Cecil Avenue, with the Cuplok system scaffold designed to keep pace with the concrete frame construction programme.
The Cuplok system scaffold had to wrap the full perimeter of a large and complex building footprint across multiple connected blocks, rising to nine storeys. The development sits on a prominent corner site at the junction of two busy roads, requiring careful coordination of the scaffold layout to maintain safe pedestrian routes and vehicle access around the site boundary throughout the works.
Debris netting was specified to the full scaffold elevation for containment, with the scaffold designed to advance floor by floor in coordination with the frame construction. The speed of the Cuplok system was critical to maintaining programme — the scaffold erection had to keep pace with the concrete pour cycle without introducing delays or requiring the crane for scaffold materials. The scale of the project — with scaffold coverage across multiple elevations and internal courtyard faces — demanded a phased design approach to allow the contractor to plan materials, labour and access for each stage of the build.
Full Cuplok system scaffold design for a nine-storey, 237-home residential development on one of Wembley's most prominent regeneration sites. 2D construction drawings, 3D model and structural calculations coordinated with the frame programme, enabling the scaffold to advance in pace with the concrete cycle across all elevations and courtyard faces.
