Scaffold & Temporary Works Designs

Over the last few years, Canham Consulting Ltd have become a leading designer of scaffold and temporary structures, working closely with scaffolding Contractors to help them to develop a practical safe and economic design.

With the latest computer analysis software, combined with our professional experience and engineering judgement, there is literally no limit to the scope of scaffold and temporary support we can provide.

Our latest projects include a series of temporary access scaffold structures at Norwich Cathedral, which were complicated by the prohibition of ties and fixings to the masonry façade; and an access scaffold to the front elevation to City Hall in Norwich, which was complicated by a sunken basement which required cantilevered geometry at road level. We have also recently completed a design for access scaffold with internal temporary support which will be used for the construction of a control building at Sizewell Power Station.

Canham Consulting are adept at Temporary Works assessment, design and review. We are used to working in a highly controlled environment and ensure that our designs are produced with the strictest quality control process to ensure a successful design is issued.

All designs are produced strictly in accordance with relevant British Standards and in line with recommendations given by the National Access and Scaffolding Confederation.

Below is a small selection of the type of temporary works designs we are able to offer.

Earthworks
Slope Stabilty

Above Ground

In addition to the examples above, we consider ourselves adept at challenging projects, and would welcome new and innovative schemes for us to test our skills! Should any of our services be of interest, please contact us via any of the methods available on our Contact Us page.

Canham Consulting really understood our needs as a client, and the constraints and challenges of the project.

I have worked with Canham Consulting regularly over the last twenty years and they now provide structural advice on all my projects. During this time they have always provided an excellent engineering consultancy service. I have worked with various members of their team, and the service I have received has been and is exemplary. The scale of my work is relatively small, but they have always responded quickly and have the ability to contribute positively to a design at all stages. In addition they have always been a pleasure to work with and their friendly approach runs right through the practice

David Aldridge (Principal)

David Aldridge Architecture Limited

We have worked with Canham Consulting for a number of years on a complex scheme, which has thrown up a number of challenges in terms of drainage engineering, flood relief and fuel storage solutions. Our Consultant is contactable, commercial, and realistic and his team have risen to the challenges to produce honest solutions to some difficult problems. We are impressed with the work and with the support that has been given to us as clients and would most definitely be utilising their service again in the future where the need arises.

Salisbury Gateway

I have used Canham Consulting now on numerous occasions to undertake structural surveys for me in the early stages of my projects. They have always been swift to attend site and have a written report back to me within days and I cannot stress how important this is to me in order to kick start projects. The level of information is exactly what I require, along with exceptional customer service to match. I will continue to work alongside them in the future.

Chris Cheetham
Kew Green Hotels

We have worked with Canham Consulting on various projects over the past ten years and have always been impressed with all of the services offered.

We have found their ‘on-site’ design advice especially invaluable to us as we take apart old and often complex buildings. The last thing we need is a crew of tradesmen waiting around for design advice when we find an unexpected ‘something’ on site.

Canham Consulting haven’t let us down and that not only impresses us, but also keeps our client entirely satisfied. Keep up the good work.
