Swift Scaffolding are a highly experienced scaffolding contract business who can bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to any scaffolding project

Nationwide

We offer a nationwide supply, erect and dismantle service utilising 3 main types of scaffolding

Reputation

We are highly regarded within the scaffolding industry and within many other trade industries across the country.

A full range of services for all your scaffolding needs

Tube & Fitting

Tube and Fitting: is a highly flexible option for scaffolding which involves the use of galvanised tubing in various lengths all with a 48.3mm diameter which connect securely together, whilst it is very versatile it does require skill and additional time to erect a tube and fitting scaffold correctly and compliantly, its adaptability means it can be erected in a multitude of configurations irrespective of in-situ obstacles and obstructions.

Its versatile nature means tube and fitting is often the first choice of scaffolding for pharmaceutical companies and industrial settings, this is where Swift Scaffolding come into their own and would be regarded as one of Irelands premier tube and fitting companies, we operate a solution lead access service in a safe and cost-effective manner.

System Scaffolding

System Scaffolding is much quicker to erect, working along the principal of utilising standardised components which offer flexible arrangements for example if a variety of modifications were required. Swift Scaffolding stock two main scaffolding systems, Cuplock and Layher, both of which can be installed into standardised bays or interlocked to include cantilevers, bridges, gantries and protection fans.

The additional benefits of a system scaffold are that the components are 20% lighter thereby reducing operative fatigue and increasing productivity, less materials are required, and there are no protruding tubes which allows for a more aesthetically pleasing finish.

Cuplock

Cuplock: is a galvanised scaffold system noted for its durability and resistance to corrosion, it is versatile safe and fast to erect, ledgers and transoms can be connected to the cups on a standard without the use of loose fittings.

It is suitable for access and support scaffolds approved to BS EN12811/12810 and complies with current European standards. Materials available include standards, ledgers, transoms, bridging beams and braces. Swift are equipped to operate the traditional & the omega system.

Layher

Layher : is currently regarded as the best scaffold system in the industry. It has a unique 360-degree connection technology with offers unrivalled flexibility in a galvanised system scaffold, Layher is manufactured in Germany and certified to DIN ISO9001:2000 and is certified to all relevant EN standards.

We stock all standard components of the Layher system and are continually updating our stock levels.

Scaffold Staircases

Scaffold Staircases: The use of these structures on construction sites has increased exponentially due to the growing need to improve access and movement of site personnel and of the general public.

Tube & Fitting Staircase: This is a bespoke design scaffold erected using tube & fitting components, it primarily would be used where the simplicity of a modular unit would struggle to be the access or egress requirements.

Cuplock Staircase: A modular stair system that is easy to install and compliant to all current legislation requirements, this is often the first choice for site access or egress solutions.

Layher Site stairs, utilise standard Layher equipment with the addition of an aluminium stair module, a Layher site stairs is rated to 2kn/m2, it can be erected as a free-standing stair tower or integrated within a Layher scaffold structure, essentially providing an access or egress solution for all site requirements.

Layher public access staircases are erected using standard layher components, they are fully compliant and meet all the requirements of ‘Public Access and Building Regulations’ and can be used as temporary fire escapes, pedestrian walkways and access or egress to all public buildings.

Pull Tests

Pull tests: are typically preformed to assess sheer pull force. It involves attaching a suitable pull tester to the anchor or fixing which is then put under tension to the design stress load level, this determines how strong and secure the fixing is.

A scaffold tie is an important connection that fastens the scaffolding to a building or structure to prevent collapse. The ties enable a resistance to forces trying to pull the scaffold away from the structure such as high winds. Tie patterns are determined by a design engineer on a bespoke scaffold and are outlined on the manufacturers guidelines and in the code of practise for system scaffolds, however if the anchor ties are installed incorrectly or even installed correctly into weak material they will be compromised and fail hence the importance of onsite pull testing.

The substrate must be capable of taking 1.25x the working load of each anchor. A minimum of three anchors, or 5% of installed anchors are tested per scaffold, best practice would be to spread the anchor testing throughout the scaffold, should a scaffold tie fail then the pull test frequency doubles, the frequency doubles again should a second anchor fail, should more than two of the anchors fail 100% of the anchors will require testing.

Swift scaffolding provides a pull testing service free of charge for any scaffolds they erect if the project requires and are also able to accommodate site visits to pull test scaffolds erected by other qualified scaffolders. Results of pull tests are formally recorded and should be retained with the safety documentation relating to the scaffold structure.

Design Service

Swift Scaffolding Ltd can coordinate and supply any design requirements necessary for the project in order to meet all safety and compliance regulations, we are solution lead with safety as our main priority and are committed to delivering a professional bespoke design service and include as standard when a design is required:

  • A site visit to discuss the scaffolding requirements
  • Professionally produced temporary works design drawing using computer aided design software customized for scaffolding
  • Follow up support service if required
  • Calculations and a temporary works cert for the safety file.

 

We can also provide Layher system designs upon request.

TG 2021

Under certain parameters a tube & fitting scaffold may be erected without a design if it falls under the criteria laid out in NASAC TG20:21, Swift Scaffolding have full access to the TG20:21 suite and will be able to advise if the project requires: no design, a TG20:21 compliance sheet, or a full engineered package.

Shrink Wrapping Service

Shrink Wrapping Service: Swift Scaffolding can coordinate a shrink wrap service if required, shrink wrapping is beneficial because it protects from the elements, it provides a drum tight fit, it allows for added privacy, it ensures environmental containment, it is 100% recyclable and leaves a professional finish to the scaffold.

The Swift team are trained and competent in shrink wrapping but as a general rule we only take on small-scale shrink-wrapping projects and prefer to outsource larger shrink-wrapping projects to industry experts who we work in tandem with to provide the most cost effective, time effective and client focused solution.
