25.01.2022 The Benchmark Scaffolding team were on the ball for this emergency breakdown job. We were required to provide scaffolding to the underside of an active export facility. Due to our relationship with the client and our experience, we were able to successfully deliver the required scope of works.... Within 8 hours of the breakdown, the repairs were made, the scaffolding was removed, and operations were back to normal. Outstanding effort from everyone involved. #safetyfirst #settingthebenchmark #scaffolding #experience

23.01.2022 How about installing scaffold in the middle of a rainforest in Far North Queensland, with no access by road. Even using a helicopter wasn’t an option due to the dense rainforest environment. So, the Benchmark Scaffolding design team together with the Skyrail engineers decided to transport the scaffolding on specially designed frames to the top of the range. Which was located 545m above sea level.... Thinking outside the box and providing a solution based outcome, allowed us to complete the project and complete the same job with our client 12 months later. #safetyfirst #settingthebenchmark #scaffolding #fnq #skyrail #access #rainforest

21.01.2022 With some thought and planning, the Benchmark Scaffolding team used concrete blocks to add weight to the inboard of the scaffold bay to allow the scaffolding to be suspended over the side of the bridge. All while maintaining a heavy duty load rating on the suspended scaffolding bays. The scaffolding bay was also designed to be mobile and move easily along the tracks installed on top of the existing bridge structure. By making the scaffold mobile and adding concrete ballast to... assist in the design, the structure was able to be installed efficiently in 6 hours with only 3 team members. This eliminated the need to install scaffold the entire length of the bridge. By adding a few tonnes of extra weight to the scaffold, the overall amount of scaffolding required was reduced by 20 tonnes. What are some of the innovative ways you have used weight to impact how scaffold can perform? Please share your success. #safetyfirst #settingthebenchmark #scaffold #concrete #ballast #design #engineering

20.01.2022 Looks can be deceiving. Just because scaffolding looks neat and tidy, it doesn't always mean you have done a good job! Sometimes the worst scaffold installation ever can look neat and tidy. This can portray that you have done a good job to people who don't fully understand scaffolding.... Looks are one part, but making sure the scaffolding is built correctly and safely is what makes the difference. As with any project safety should always comes first! #SafetyFirst #SettingTheBenchmark #Scaffold #Project #Bridge #Engineering

20.01.2022 Merinda Bridge, Bowen. We were tasked with providing access and edge protection to remove existing bridge decks and to accommodate the installation of a new bridge. Everything had to be scheduled and built around exact timeframes due to the strict track closure conditions.... The project was completed safely, on time and under budget. #safetyfirst #settingthebenchmark #scaffolding #bridges

19.01.2022 Very tidy project from the boys! One of the perks of working in this industry is that we get to travel to remote places around the country. This project located in Western Queensland allowed us to see some of the countryside while also providing access for a bridge refurbishment.... #SafetyFirst #SettingTheBenchmark #Outback #QLD #Scaffold #Access #Bridge

18.01.2022 What you see is what you get! That’s Benchmark Scaffolding's promise when we scan, design, and build scaffolding. We can eliminate guesswork and delays on all projects due to our design process.... Our laser scan technology captures every detail regarding your project so there is no mistakes and uncertainty when we arrive on site. This process saves you time and money and predetermines the success of the project by providing the right equipment with the right labour. Not to mention, the increased safety performance by showcasing all safety risks before the team has even arrived on site. #SafetyFirst #SettingTheBenchmark #LaserScan #Design

18.01.2022 The Benchmark Scaffolding team were tasked with accessing the inside of a 18 meter dam wall at short notice. We also had to be mindful of the working at heights and confined space risks. A risk assessment was completed which allowed the design team to build the scaffolding horizontally on the ground and then lift it vertically inside the concrete structure.... This method eliminated all working at heights and confined space risks for our work force. The end result was the scaffold was able to be installed quickly and efficiently compared to traditional methods. #safetyfirst #settingthebenchmark #scaffolding #design #engineering

17.01.2022 We were contacted as a last resort for this project as the 2 other contractors said it wasn't possible. Our client wanted to access the entire underside of their 4000m2 ceiling to replace the existing panels with a new suspended ceiling. The difficulty was the roof was over the top of a operational paper plant that could not be impacted or delayed in anyway.... The design & engineering team used their experience and came up with an intelligent solution to overcome this. The scaffolding was assembled on the ground and lifted onto the existing gantry crane rails. The specially designed heavy duty bogey's enabled the scaffolding to move freely along the crane rails and provided the access needed for the entire ceiling. Great outcome for everyone involved! #safetyfirst #settingthebechmark #scaffolding #gantry

17.01.2022 The scaffway to heaven. Good indication that the Benchmark Scaffolding team can provide access in any environment. Our client required access in a confined space under a bridge for maintenance repairs.... With consultation with our safety team and the client we were able to provide the access safely, on time, and on budget. #SafetyFirst #SettingTheBenchmark #Scaffold #Scaffway #Access

16.01.2022 Need access but can't use a EWP? No worries, just build a craneable and cantilevered scaffold structure to solve the problem. Due to the restraints with the exit stairwells below, this structure was used to access and reinforce the concrete tilt panels.... The craneable structure was able to be moved along the full face of the building saving our client both time and money. #safetyfirst #settingthebenchmark #craneable #scaffolding

16.01.2022 Public Access. Our team often gets contacted about public compliant access solutions. Some people might be surprised but you can’t just use any scaffold equipment or scaffold stairs for safe and complaint public access!... There is a lot more work and considerations to take into account when designing and building access solutions for the public. Things to consider; - Stair tread height & width - Tactile indicators - Stair nosing - Continuous inside handrails - Is it compliant to the building code in Australia? - Have you engaged a building certifier to sign it off? - Have you engaged or considered engaging an access consultant? And always remember to design and build the public compliant stair or access solution as if it’s a permanent structure. Hope this helps for your next public access project. #SafetyFirst #SettingTheBenchmark #PublicAccess

15.01.2022 Innovation at its best. Instead of scaffolding the whole underside of the bridge, the Benchmark Scaffolding team built a mobile structure that could access the entire length of the bridge. Using chain driven girder trolleys to move the scaffold structure up and down the bridge, provided access to all work areas without the time and costs associated with scaffolding the full bridge.... Nice work team. #safetyfirst #settingthebenchmark #scaffolding #bridges #design #engineering

14.01.2022 It doesn’t matter where the job is, the Benchmark Scaffolding team will find a way. Even if the project is on the other side of the country and we have to helicopter our scaffold in. Nothing is impossible!... Careful planning and design work allowed us to use the least amount of equipment possible, which reduced the transportation costs significantly. Think you have a difficult job in a difficult location? Give us a call. #benchmark #scaffolding #helicopter #design #lighthouse #settingthebenchmark

13.01.2022 Pretty excited to be partnering with Scaffmag to provide regular articles to the rest of the world on the scaffolding industry in Australia.

12.01.2022 Project Highlight. The Benchmark team were tasked with providing access for a bridge refurbishment in Western Queensland. All work was completed safely, on time, and under budget.... Well done to everyone involved. #safetyfirst #settingthebenchmark #scaffolding #bridgeconstruction

12.01.2022 Well done team! How good do our retractable crane loading platforms look. More than just a scaffold company, we are a full turn-key package supplier for all access and scaffold requirements. We can provide any accessory to complete your next project.... Who doesn't love a good accessory anyway! #SafetyFirst #SettingTheBenchmark #Scaffold #Accessories #Access #Crane #Loading #Platforms

11.01.2022 A little insight into today's Take-5. When conducting any risk assessment, the benefits of completing them in a group setting instead of individually or by the leading hand is far superior. The advantages of having more sets of eyes and different opinions and experience levels accessing the risks creates more discussion and buy in.... Today's was by no means perfect, but the Benchmark Scaffolding team will continue to discuss, learn and improve from it. #SafetyFirst #SettingTheBenchmark #Take5

09.01.2022 Providing access inside an active fertiliser plant. We were tasked with providing scaffolding access to the roof of this building for blast and paint repairs. The Benchmark Scaffolding design team did a great job designing the project to provide as much room as possible under the scaffold for operations to continue as normal.... #safetyfirst #settingthebenchmark #scaffolding #design #plant #roof #repairs

08.01.2022 Very tidy project from the Benchmark Scaffolding site team! Using Layher’s 360-degree rosette allows us to build scaffolding around circular tanks in half the amount of time compared to traditional tube and fitting. Using half the amount of equipment in half the amount of time equals less costs for another happy customer.... #safetyfirst #settingthebenchmark #scaffolding #tanks #site #team #design #engineering

06.01.2022 Keeping the public safe. If you have the right equipment and can think outside the box, scaffolding can be used for a wide variety of jobs. With this project we had a lot of design and engineering discussions with the client to alleviate safety concerns and provide the best outcome for everyone involved.... Other things considered during the planning phase included, sourcing the right flooring materials to withstand the elements and the amount of foot traffic it was going to experience for the extended period it was up. It always pays to spend more time and resources during the planning phase so there are no surprises during construction. #safetyfirst #settingthebenchmark #publicaccess

06.01.2022 Providing access and providing value. Our client required scaffolding access for installing services and maintenance updates. Instead of scaffolding the entire bridge, the Benchmark Scaffolding team designed and built a mobile scaffold on tracks to move along the length of the bridge.... Understanding our client's needs and having experience with this methodology saved considerable time and money with this project. Great work team! #safetyfirst #settingthebenchmark #mobile #scaffold #bridge #maintenance

05.01.2022 Remember these days? When concerts and events were a normal occurrence on the calendar. As with all public compliant projects, it is essential to have a clear scope of works and good communication during the planning phase.... With this Eminem concert it was critical we understood how many people were expected, the traffic flow, and the weight and load capacity. These public compliant access stairs look great and we look forward to the time when they can be in regular use again. #safetyfirst #settingthebenchmark #compliant #stairs

05.01.2022 What would it mean for your next project if we could guarantee no rework, no mistakes and no delays? No guesswork whatsoever! With our laser scanning technology, the success of your project can be predetermined before anyone even steps foot on site.... Being able to capture every detail with the laser scan, including every nut and bolt, allows our design team to know exactly what scaffold piece is needed and where it goes. Having this type of detail guarantees the right equipment gets delivered to site and allows the site team to follow the plans with confidence and certainty. Talk to Benchmark Scaffolding about how our entire design process will save you time, money and increase safety. Essentially, eliminating the guess work, the uncertainty and the time wasting on your next project. #SafetyFirst #SettingTheBenchmark #Laser #Scan #Design #Process

02.01.2022 Housekeeping. A good safety culture doesn't just come from talking about it, you must practice it every day! The standard you walk past is the standard you accept.... The North Queensland crew did an outstanding job on this project regarding all aspects of safety, especially the housekeeping. We were required to provide access and a shade shelter while the tanks linings cured and so the insulation could be installed. Well done team! #SafetyFirst #SettingTheBenchmark #Housekeeping #Culture #Access #Scaffolding #Tanks

01.01.2022 There are always constraints and difficulties with all scaffolding projects. Our job is to find solutions to these constraints and solve our customers problems. With this project our client couldn’t build traditional ground up scaffolding due to the close proximity of the neighboring properties.... The Benchmark design and engineering team decided to build several support scaffolding bays on the roof and cantilever a structural universal beam over the edge of the property to create a monorail system. The team then installed a 12m swing stage scaffold which allowed our client to access the full external perimeter of the building without impacting any neighboring properties. This solution reduced the build time by 4 days and reduced the scaffolding tonnage from 41 to 3.2 tonnes. #safetyfirst #settingthebenchmark #scaffolding #swingstage
