These jobs have all been featured on the Layher New Zealand website.
Eden park LED screen
Upright Access Systems were called upon to provide scaffold access for a new LED screen at Eden Park, Auckland. Installing the largest LED screen in New Zealand, and second largest in the Southern Hemisphere, required a very large landing platform.
Merchant Quarter apartments
For this job used Layher Allround Scaffolding for its flexibility and adaptability. One of the key engineering issues was anchoring the scaffold, as there was nothing to drill into. We were instructed by the customer to use ties sparingly.
Nautilus Apartments
We installed one GEDA 1200 and two twin mast GEDA 1500 hoists. The supporting scaffold was 1.4 metres wide and 30m high off the podium. Being close to the shore high winds did cause some minor delays, as the hoists cannot be installed once the winds exceed 70km/h.
Cue Vue Apartments
The apartment block re-roof project lasted about 16 weeks and had Layher Allround Scaffolding on two sides of the building. We used a GEDA 500 hoist to move all the gear, including the Layher Aluminium Beams, to the top level, which was 50 metres above Short Street
Olympic Swimming pools
To achieve this we used 27m long Layher Aluminium 450 trusses supported by Layher SpeedyScaf at each end and tubes coming off steel roof beams in the middle of the span. There were also 2 bays of scaffold dropped down below the aluminium trusses on each side of the span to allow access to the lower walls
Cathedral of St Patricks
The Layher Allround scaffolding system worked really well on this project. It was quite difficult to connect the scaffold above the new roof while staying off it. The Layher design team helped us with developing a plan for the scaffold to come off the concrete parapets, utilising Layher’s Aluminium Beams.
Chelsea Sugar Refinery Chimney
Upright Access erected this scaffolding tower around the chimney out of Layher SpeedyScaf, with two bays on each side. Layher Allround and Layher ladder beams were used to get closer to the chimney stack.
