Eight blocks. One coordinated scaffold contract.

Plettac system access and an Altrix temporary roof supporting a timber-frame housing development in Sheffield.

PROJECT / NEW BUILD / 06

Project overview

Repeatable access across a changing development.

Veritas delivered the scaffolding package for a Sheffield timber-frame development of around eight blocks, with 12 homes in each block. The same contract combined Plettac system scaffolding for construction access with an Altrix temporary roof for weather protection.

Project: Timber-frame new-build housing
Location: Sheffield
Development: Around 8 blocks
Block size: 12 homes per block
Access system: Plettac system scaffolding
Weather protection: Altrix temporary roof

The development

Around eight separate timber-frame blocks formed the wider Sheffield housing project, with 12 homes contained within each block.

The access

Plettac system scaffolding provided structured working access around the blocks as the timber-frame buildings progressed.

The protection

An Altrix temporary roof formed part of the same contract, protecting the timber-frame construction from the weather.

Contract delivery

Access and weather protection planned as one package.

Plettac system

A system-scaffold solution suited to the repeated elevations and working lifts across the housing blocks.

Timber frame

Access was arranged around the developing timber structures and the workfaces required by the construction teams.

Altrix roof

The temporary-roof structure created covered working space above the block.

Multi-block scope

The contract covered around eight blocks rather than a single isolated building.

01 / Plettac system

Access across the blocks

The scaffold followed the developing timber-frame elevations and provided working lifts around the new-build structures.

02 / Altrix roof

Weather protection above

The Altrix temporary roof protected the timber-frame construction while maintaining working space and access beneath it.

What this demonstrates

System-scaffold capacity across a multi-block programme.

The Sheffield project brought repeated new-build access and specialist weather protection together within one contract, demonstrating delivery across multiple timber-frame blocks.
