The Crescent Centre – Bristol
Martyn Symonds, Project Manager“The Crescent is a significant scaffold package for a contractor of the size of Shield, and they have completed an impressive structure to the entire
perimeter of a very challenging shape of building.Three months into the project, it became clear that a general independent would not be suitable on
the east-curved elevations due to the construction of ribbon sections at the ground level. We engaged with Shield Scaffolding for a solution. The agreed solution
was to erect a truss-out across the entirety of both curved elevations. The intricacy of the scaffold erected by Shield makes this structure a candidate for Project
of The Year.We have received many internal and external visitors, including senior management that have always been struck by how visually impressive the scaffold is,
which is a credit to the whole Shield Scaffolding team. Shield Scaffolding have provided us with a stable and knowledgeable team of scaffolders, throughout
the project which has undoubtedly contributed to their success on site here.”
Scaffolding
Overview
Shield Scaffolding Services was contracted by Kier Group to install scaffold to all elevations of The Crescent Centre located in central Bristol. The project required the provision of eight lifts to the existing structure plus a further two to facilitate the construction of a further steel-framed floor.
