Refineries

Heavy-duty access scaffolds for refinery plant, pipe racks and vessel work.

Multi-level access scaffold with yellow platform boards and guard rails covering the face of a refinery plant, with workers in orange visible on several lifts.

The access problem

Refinery work means high structures, congested pipework and short windows in which to get inspectors and trades to the work front.

How we work in this sector

We design the scaffold for the loads and the geometry of the structure rather than the other way round, supply the heavy-duty components, and keep a supervision presence on site so adjustments during the turnaround do not hold up the inspection team.
