Logistical Complexity & Compliance

Working in a high-density area of London presented significant logistical hurdles that necessitated precise coordination and sensitivity:

Occupant Consideration: Our teams worked tactfully alongside building occupants to maintain a respectful and safe residential environment throughout the works.
Public & Commercial Protection: Scaffolding was erected over a live pavement shared with active shop trades, requiring rigorous safety measures to protect the public and ensure business continuity.
Regulatory Interface: KAS managed extensive interfaces with the Local Authority, facilitating vital party wall agreements and site-specific permissions.

Advanced Engineering Solutions

The architectural constraints and the need for constant site access demanded advanced scaffolding techniques:

Structural Bridging: To navigate the site’s footprint, KAS engineered bespoke solutions to bridge over adjacent buildings, providing roof access without compromising neighbouring structures.
Walkway Maintenance: Advanced scaffolding designs were utilized to keep a primary rear walkway completely clear, ensuring residents and staff had uninterrupted access for the duration of the project.

Outcome

Despite the technical challenges and regulatory requirements, all scaffolding was erected and dismantled in accordance with a tight programme. The successful delivery of "The Heights" showcases KAS’s ability to manage high-pressure urban projects that require a combination of engineering excellence and proactive stakeholder management.

My first opinion of KAS Scaffolding when they arrived onsite was how professional they looked all in the same branded uniform & smart which isn’t something you see to much with other scaffold companies.

All Lorries Branded & looking smart.

KAS Health & Safety approach has been excellent, right from Senior Management to the scaffolders out onsite.
They even set up a portal which we can access for any documents needed.

The KAS way of clipping all scaffold boards to all scaffold lifts was a real help especially when we have experienced bad weather.

The most important one for me was the standard of scaffolding they produced, there operatives are a credit to KAS.

Andrew Shutt

Senior Site Manager

KAS have always provided a prompt service with competitive costs. In addition, advising on savings and value engineering.

Always reassuring to have KAS within the Project Team.

An early engagement with them brings benefits of their expertise to offer the most appropriate solution to various façade finishes and a safe solution for working at height.

KAS can be relied upon during the construction phase to implement their high targets by way of attitude to Health & Safety, co-operation of the qualified work force and commitment to achieve programme dates.

Their pro-active use of web-based admin provides for timely issue & accessible documentation records.

Project Manager

I had KAS Scaffolding on a project that consisted of 22no Apartments and a commercial unit.

Before, during and after scaffolding works KAS were always easy to work with.

Works were undertaken smoothly and efficiently with attention to detail i.e. clipping all Scaff boards, aesthetically pleasing scaffold, labour well presented with critical dates always met.

From remote link regarding Handovers, inspections, labour skill cards etc, to directors/C.M visiting site to accommodate various issues I have found KAS to be a good sub-contractor and would always recommend.
