The challenge

Shield Services Group were engaged by Fortis Vision to erect a 50m temporary roof structure over Cathedral Park in Bristol City Centre. Cathedral Park is a Grade II listed cathedral that was converted into student accommodation in 2012 and is home to over 250 students

project goals

The scaffold was required to facilitate the replacement of all existing Velux roof windows.

the result

Cathedral Park was a primary project for the 3 candidates in our first cohort of apprentices. Here, we could promote the development of their skills and knowledge on a project with such a variety of working practices, challenges and restrictions. One of our apprentices is a graduate from Shield’s “Second Chance” initiative. Having worked at Shield on a day-release basis, Stephen Brown relocated his life from Birmingham to Bristol following his release from prison to embark on his career in scaffolding and enroll on an apprenticeship.
