Royston Scaffolding Provides Life-Saving Service To HART

Construction News Image
Cambridge & Hertfordshire based company Royston Scaffolding Ltd has recently provided expert specialised scaffolding to the East of England Hazardous Area Response Team (HART).

The specialist ambulance service, that provides expert medical care in particularly difficult environments, required a unique scaffolding construction to replicate a crane mast and various other structures to practice their response services on.

The structure, which replicated vertical ladders and a lift shaft, can enable the East of England HART crew to practice fall and arrest procedures as well as saving people from height and in confined spaces.

Elliott McGrath, Managing Director at Royston Scaffolding Ltd, said: "We worked closely with HART to replicate the typical environments that they might encounter. While we've been part of many different scaffolding projects before, this was a particularly unique case, but one that we are really proud to have been part of."

Royston Scaffolding Ltd provide commercial and residential scaffolding hire services across South East and London. For any further information on their services feel free to get in touch via their website.
