We were appointed to provide scaffold design for the refurbishment of Fibi House in central London. The scaffold design included a temporary roof structure to allow roofing works to proceed in all weather conditions without programme delays.
The temporary roof had to span above the full building footprint while the structure below remained occupied by an adjacent commercial tenant. This meant the design could not rely on transferring lateral or vertical loads into the existing building fabric. A full ULS wind analysis was required to demonstrate stability under worst-case conditions, with the scaffold structure engineered to be entirely self-supporting.
The roof was designed to allow roofing strip and re-cover works to proceed in all weather conditions, eliminating programme delays caused by rainfall and ensuring a watertight envelope below the working deck throughout the project duration.
Temporary roof scaffold design with full wind analysis, ULS load transfer calculations, and a self-supporting structural solution that avoided loading the occupied building below. 2D construction drawings and 3D model issued to allow the contractor to price, programme and mobilise with full confidence in the design.
