High Access Equipment

In House Design

With our team of in-house designers, Rockcastle has the ability to provide site specific temporary works designs for each client.

How it Helps

Early involvement from our design team working with our sales team is a service we frequently offer to our clients on larger and more challenging projects, such as building complexes requiring multiple types of access on a variety of different elevations. This can provide both technical and commercial advantages to clients and this contributes to a successful bid or outcome for all. Design team involvement from and early stage helps identify:

Rockcastle can provide all design layouts for temporary works such as mast climbers, hoists, transport platforms, cradles and crane loading decks.

Our high access solutions are designed using AutoCAD for machine configurations overlaid onto client site drawings. We also possess the ability to extract required drawing views from client Revit models.

With temporary works becoming increasingly critical in the completion of any construction project, the importance of identifying temporary works design requirements in advance has also grown.

Complex designs for temporary structures

We have utilised our design team on more than one occasion to overcome many obstacles that may arise on a construction site.

We have supported mast climbers positioned 5 meters overhanging a waterway canal, created hoist ties over 9 meters long to service a high-level motorway bypass and even suspended a machine on the 10th floor of a building to provide access to a façade on an elevation over the adjoining building.

Bespoke Design

Rockcastle has the knowledge and facilities to create bespoke solutions to suits individual client needs.

For example, hoist located in lift shafts. Rockcastle has on multiple occasions, created specific platform sizes to suit many different lift shafts. We have also supported hoists over voids and against bridges where tie lengths reached up to 9m. Whatever the hurdle, Rockcastle will find a solution to overcome.

Benefits include:

Construction hoists provide many benefits over other solutions like crane loading decks or scaffolding. Some of which are:
