How it works
When forming structural openings, our temporary works focus on propping and needling. When undertaking this element of works we:
- Secure the site and ensure safe access (may involve installing some temporary works)Understand how the structure works by researching existing
- Information and carrying out on-site surveys
- Identify the need for temporary works and associated risks
- Obtain consent from owners of neighbouring structures that may be affected
- Provide competent persons to carry out the design and design checking (permanent and temporary works)
- Make safe the existing structure (may involve installing some temporary works) in preparation for the main works
- Provide competent persons to carry out demolition/refurbishment and rebuild in an agreed sequence (may involve installing further temporary works) and control the works by using a permit-to-load system
- Review and manage on-site alterations and changes
- Insert permanent works such as – concrete Pad-stones, concrete lintels and steel beams and columns
- Make good and secure all masonry above the inserted permanent works
- Remove any temporary works in an agreed sequence so load is transferred to the permanent works and control the works by using a permit-to-remove system
“The Tranco supervisors were very informed and we had daily site tours looking at the planned works and the issues raised”
