HAKI 750 Temporary Roof - Ensus Redcar

Project Background

Our customer, Ensus UK, is a manufacturer of bioethanol road fuels with the by-products used to create sustainable live stock feeds. 

Following the end of life of one of their industrial grain driers, a replacement unit was to be installed and commissioned to take over from the original.

Client Initial Specified Work Scope

To enable the installation and commissioning of their new industrial grain dryer, our customer contracted HAKI Access Solutions to design, supply and install a system scaffold temporary building to provide weather protection during the construction of the new dryer.

Of particular importance was to ensure welding activities were not affected by any winds.

Our Solution

The solution required the use of HAKI Universal system scaffold to create twin load bearing independent scaffolds with sufficient space and capacity to deal with the anticipated loadings along with the volume of kentledge stipulated by our inhouse design team to provide the necessary stability. 

The independent scaffolds were erected by our inhouse installation team with the HAKI 750 roof truss sections erected to the side for installation by mobile crane. 

Roof truss sections were then lifted up onto the independents and towed into position using HAKI tripods and roof wheels. Sections were then joined together before roof and wall sheets were pulled into position along the kedar bead tracks.

Gable ends were then erected using HAKI Universal system scaffold and sheeted in to provide a weather proof enclosure for construction of the dryer.

Safety & Commercial Benefits

The use of HAKI Universal system scaffold gives customers a multitude of benefits. For this scope it resulted in a 40% reduction in both labour durations and costs with further benefits of reduced manual handling and improved scaffolder safety by reducing the work at height risks and durations.

The HAKI 750 roof system can be erected at ground level to further reduce work at height durations and pre-erected modular sections can be lifted to height to reduce cranage costs. 

During the dryer construction, roof truss sections were temporarily locally removed to allow required lifting operations to proceed before reinstating the weather protection giving the site management the flexibility needed to keep construction progressing.
