The Jetty Scaffolding Project: Overcoming Environmental & Safety Challenges with 3D Design

Overview

The Jetty is a popular public fishing area located in a marine park environment, which required structural concrete repairs. However, the project faced several challenges due to the presence of dangerous marine life, short timelines, and restrictions on any work in the water.

To overcome these challenges, the project team used ScaffPlan for the scaffold planning and design to identify issues and devise solutions with precision.

Challenges

• Restricted access due to the location in a marine park environment
• Short timelines due to the public needing access to the jetty for fishing
• Dangerous conditions with crocodiles and sharks in the area

Solution

The project team turned to 3D design and scaffolding software to overcome the challenges faced during the project. By using ScaffPlan, the team could easily identify potential issues and develop precise solutions. The reference model was quickly inserted, giving the team total accuracy in their designs.

Outcome

• The scaffold designers completed the plans in under 2 hours using ScaffPlan;
• 3D modeling enabled total accuracy and precise gear lists;
• The designs were easily shared and signed off by the client ;
• The onsite team was able to create an efficient build;
• The challenges posed by the project's environment and safety were overcome;
• The Jetty was able to receive the necessary structural concrete repairs;
• There was limited interruption to public access; and
• There were no incidents to the marine life or the project team.

Lessons Learned

This project demonstrated the benefits of using 3D design with leading scaffold software. By using 3D modeling, the project team could accurately identify and solve potential issues while maintaining safety standards. Furthermore, the project highlighted the importance of considering environmental factors when planning scaffolding projects.
