Specialist Scaffolding for Confined Spaces

At KW Scaffolding, we deliver bespoke confined space scaffolding solutions across the UK. Our team has extensive experience working in high-risk, restricted-access environments such as tanks, silos, tunnels, culverts, utility chambers, and industrial vessels. We understand the unique challenges posed by confined areas, including limited airflow, reduced visibility, and narrow access points.

Our scaffolding systems are fully compliant with NASC guidelines, TG20:21, and Confined Spaces Regulations 1997, ensuring safe, legal, and reliable access for inspections, maintenance, repairs, and structural upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Confined Space Scaffolding?

Scaffolding for Confined spaces involves building safe access structures inside restricted or enclosed areas with limited entry and exit points. It requires special safety procedures, including gas monitoring, ventilation, and emergency rescue plans. These spaces can include areas such as:

Underground sites (sewers, tunnels, basements)
Confined work areas (industrial plants, factories)
Elevated structures (towers, bridges)
Interior work (tank cleaning, maintenance)

Do you follow Confined Spaces Regulations?
Yes. All our work complies with the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 and HSE guidelines (ACOP L101), ensuring legal and safe operations.

How fast can you respond to an emergency job?
We offer 24/7 emergency callouts and can mobilise a team quickly for urgent confined-space access needs anywhere in the UK.

The Importance of Confined Space Scaffolding

Working in confined spaces presents unique risks. These spaces are typically difficult to access, often have limited ventilation, and may be subject to hazardous conditions. Confined space scaffolding is essential for the following reasons:

Worker Safety: Provides a safe working platform to support workers in difficult-to-reach spaces.
Access and Egress: Ensures workers can safely enter and exit the confined space, reducing the risks of accidents during entry or exit.
Compliance: Meets strict safety regulations and legal requirements for working in confined or restricted spaces.
Emergency Preparedness: In case of an emergency, confined space scaffolding provides an essential escape route and a stable platform for emergency response teams.
Durability: Designed to withstand the conditions found in confined spaces, whether in high humidity, underground, or in areas where debris and obstacles are prevalent.

Given the risks associated with working in such spaces, our scaffolding solutions are designed with additional safety measures, ensuring safe entry and exit as well as proper structural integrity to support workers, tools, and materials.
