About this project
One of the coolest and most unique projects we've been involved in — a custom freestanding scaffolding tower inside the Hutt City Council aquatic centre at Naenae Pool for the installation of new goal systems at significant height above the competition pool. Working inside an operational aquatic facility brought challenges no residential scaffolding job ever does: protecting the pool environment, working around lane infrastructure, distributing load across a sensitive pool deck without point loading, and designing a fully self-supporting tower structure with no external tie points. Our team used extended base jacks with rubber base plates and sole boards, full internal diagonal bracing at every lift, and tool tethering throughout to ensure nothing reached the water. The installation team had a stable, compliant, WorkSafe-certified platform that let them complete the ceiling-level fixings safely and on schedule. Projects like this showcase the full range of what scaffolding can do when it's designed around the environment rather than off the shelf.
