A stadium-scale roof, done right

HNRY Stadium is one of the largest and most visible venues in the Wellington region, and a membrane roof replacement on a building of this scale comes with a level of scrutiny most jobs don't see. There's no room for shortcuts on health and safety, no room for equipment that slows the roofing crew down, and no room for a scaffolding contractor who can't turn up on time and deliver.

Our team went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of this project was completed to the highest standard — from maintaining strict health and safety compliance throughout, to delivering practical, easy-to-use edge protection that let the roofing team work efficiently across the full membrane replacement programme. All of it backed by competitive pricing, quality workmanship, and reliable service from start to finish.

Why edge protection matters on a job like this

Roof replacement work is one of the highest fall-risk activities on any construction site, and WorkSafe NZ requires compliant edge protection on the perimeter of any roof before work at height begins — no exceptions, regardless of the size of the building. On a stadium roof, that perimeter is long, the working area is exposed, and the roofing crew need a system that stays out of their way while they work, not one that gets in it.

That's exactly what practical edge protection is designed to do: a full perimeter guardrail system that's quick to install, doesn't restrict the roofing team's movement across the membrane, and holds up to Wellington's notoriously exposed, windy conditions for the duration of a large commercial reroof.

Showing up on time, finding the best site-specific solution, and making every job run smoothly is what we do best — whether that's a straightforward residential roof or a landmark stadium project like this one.

Edge protection, access scaffolding, or a custom solution

Whether you need straightforward edge protection, access scaffolding, or a custom solution for a challenging site or tight access, we've got the experience and equipment to get the job done right. We deliver edge protection across Wellington for everything from residential reroofs to large commercial and institutional buildings, and our team is equally comfortable planning a full scaffolding solution when a job calls for more than perimeter rails alone.

For hire arrangements on longer commercial programmes, our scaffolding hire Wellington service gives contractors and project managers the flexibility to keep the right access in place for exactly as long as the job needs it.

Safe. Reliable. Professional.

Your site's access solution starts with Erect It Scaffolding. SiteWise Gold 2026/27 certified, fully insured, and trusted on some of the biggest roofs in the region.
