Back-propping and falsework across 4,200 m² of suspended slab, phased so the pour could continue on one bay while we struck the last.
Project detail
A cross-section of recent work: facade access on occupied towers, shoring for large pours, and heritage structures tied without a single fixing.
Full-height independent scaffold to 19 storeys on an occupied residential tower, built in six lifts around live balconies. Loading bays on alternate floors kept the cladding contractor supplied without a single crane hour.

Project detailWe are usually the first trade on and the last off, so the people who judge us hardest are the ones running the programme.
They surveyed on the Tuesday and had drawings with us Thursday. The tower went up over a weekend so we never lost a working day on the retail unit below.
Design changed twice on us mid-contract. SWP re-issued calculations both times without arguing about variations, which is not something I can say about the last firm.
Green tags up before handover and inspection sheets in the file every week. Our client audit went through in an afternoon because the paperwork was already there.
Twelve extra bays by Thursday was the ask. They were up on Wednesday afternoon, tied, boarded and tagged. That is the whole review.
Working over a live school playground meant fans, netting and strict hours. The crew kept to every one of them for nine straight weeks.
Their supervisor called me before I called him every time the sequence changed. On a heritage job that is worth more than the price.
