Project Type
Kas Scaffolding delivers complex scaffolding and temporary works solutions tailored for complex industrial and petrochemical environments. Operating across the South East, our expert teams provide critical support for clients managing live process plants, storage facilities, marine structures, and operational stations.
Bespoke Engineering & Compliance
In the industrial sector, "standard" solutions are a rarity. Every project we undertake is meticulously tailored to navigate site-specific constraints, environmental variables, and rigorous client specifications. We integrate detailed scaffold design with temporary works engineering to ensure every structure is fully compliant and safely delivered.
Our industrial and petrochemical service portfolio includes:
Access & Egress: Integrated solutions for complex site navigation.
Encapsulation: Full and partial containment for environmental protection.
Structural Support: Shoring, temporary support works, and bespoke lifting frames.
Specialist Infrastructure: Heavy-duty transport ramps and marine-based structures.
Tank Maintenance: Internal and external access for inspections and repairs.
Technical Design & Safety
Given the high-risk nature of petrochemical sites, our design process accounts for critical variables that standard scaffolding might overlook:
Environmental Factors: Tidal influences and high-wind exposure.
Operational Constraints: Confined spaces and proximity to live operations.
Engineering Precision: Load-bearing calculations and "buildability" assessments.
All projects are executed in strict accordance with current Temporary Works standards, maintained through seamless coordination between our designers, onsite operational teams, and client representatives.
The Challenge: Provide secure access to the underside of a marine jetty subject to extreme tidal changes.
Solution: Designed and installed a fully hung Layher system scaffold.
Engineering Detail: The structure was engineered to withstand full submersion of up to 8 metres at high tide. This required specialized material selection and reinforced fixing details to maintain structural integrity under heavy hydraulic pressure and environmental exposure.
High-Rise Storage Tank Perimeter | 17m Height
The Challenge: Create a stable, high-reaching platform for comprehensive maintenance on a large-scale storage vessel.
Solution: Erected a 17-metre-high free-standing radial scaffold around the full perimeter of the tank.
Application: The design provided uninterrupted 360-degree access for lagging, painting, and welding repairs, ensuring a 100% safe working platform at height without requiring ties to the tank shell.
Bespoke Lifting Frames | Live Process Environments
The Challenge: Safe removal and replacement of heavy infrastructure (pipes and valves) where standard lifting equipment cannot reach.
Solution: Engineered and installed multiple bespoke lifting frames tailored to the tight footprints of live industrial environments.
Precision: Each frame was custom-designed to account for specific load-bearing requirements, overhead clearances, and preferred lifting methods, ensuring zero disruption to surrounding live operations.
