BAM Construction’s workforce scaffolders erected and struck over 280,000 feet of galvanised tube, 12,000 scaffold boards and 90,000 assorted fittings to make up this birdcage scaffolding shown in the picture.
It features inside the Bluewater Events Venue site, in Kent, enabling BAM to construct the £60m events venue from the inside-out. The building was literally shoe-horned between existing retail buildings and car parks. In some places there is less than 1cm between the external walls and the buildings next to it. ‘The complexities of this scaffold job shows the quality of work that our scaffolders are capable of achieving,’ says Phil Manning, BAM Workforce Manager. The new Bluewater Events Venue opens in November.
