An SBB Scaffolding and Omega Windows Collaboration
Project Overview
SBB Scaffolding recently completed a comprehensive scaffolding project for Omega Windows at Dover College, in Kent. This multi-phase project was undertaken to support essential window installation and roof repairs across the college’s campus.
The goal was to ensure safe and efficient access for construction crews while maintaining the highest safety standards for the college’s staff and students.
Phase 1: Tailored Scaffolding for Window Installation and Roof Repairs
In Phase 1, SBB Scaffolding worked closely with Omega Windows to design and erect a custom scaffolding solution that met the unique requirements of this commercial scaffold project. Given the nature of the work – window installations and roof repairs – it was critical that the scaffold allowed for precise and safe access to elevated areas while maintaining stability.
Our team carefully planned the scaffolding layout to:
- Provide unrestricted access to window openings and roof sections.
- Ensure the safety of all workers and contractors on-site.
- Minimise disruption to the daily activities at Dover College.
Despite the complexities of the site and the scope of work, SBB Scaffolding completed Phase 1 on time and within budget. Our team took pride in executing the project with efficiency and safety at the forefront, adhering to all necessary regulations and best practices.
Client Collaboration
Throughout this project, we have worked closely with both Omega Windows and Dover College to ensure their needs were met. By maintaining constant communication and flexibility, we were able to address any challenges and adapt to any changes in the project scope. We also coordinated with the construction crew to ensure that the scaffold was set up in a way that facilitated the smooth installation of windows and roof repairs.
Phase 2: Ongoing Support for Dover College
Following the successful completion of Phase 1, Phase 2 of the project is now underway. This phase focuses on providing continued scaffolding support for additional construction work at Dover College, helping to enhance the learning environment for both students and faculty.
Our scaffolders are actively working on-site, ensuring that the scaffolding remains secure, safe, and adaptable as the project progresses. The collaboration between SBB Scaffolding, Omega Windows, and Dover College continues to be a success, with all parties working together towards the shared goal of improving the college’s facilities.
Challenges Faced
Working on a historic and active educational site like Dover College comes with unique challenges. Ensuring minimal disruption to the college’s operations while maintaining strict safety standards was a top priority. Additionally, given the heritage nature of the buildings, it was crucial that the scaffolding installation did not impact the structural integrity or aesthetic of the campus.
Results and Impact
Our client, Omega Windows, and the staff at Dover College were highly satisfied with the scaffolding solutions we provided.
Key results include:
- Safe and secure scaffolding that facilitated efficient window installations and roof repairs.
- Minimal disruption to Dover College’s daily operations.
- On-time completion
