Scaffold (Historic Buildings)

We have a vast wealth of experience in the design and installation of innovate scaffolding for historical buildings and monuments. We have all of the in-house engineering design and on-site erection capabilities to provide innovative solutions to facilitate detailed inspections, maintenance and repair activities.

Our scaffold design capability includes full engineering design, working drawings, calculations, site erection and inspection services.

The engineering concepts and design of complex scaffolding works are carried out by our in-house engineering consultancy. This is done using traditional engineering analysis and design techniques complimented by industry standard computer-based analysis and design software.

All scaffold systems are designed in line with appropriate national standards.

Scaffolding (Public Buildings)

We can design and install bespoke scaffolding to structures and buildings requiring day to day access by the general public, such as railway stations, libraries, courts and other public buildings.

Scaffolding (Specialist Design & Installation)

Understanding our clients objectives, we can design and install bespoke scaffolding to facilitate safe access for the general public, such as exhibitions, seating areas and performance stages.

Conservation Works

We specialise in stonework refurbishment & repairs to buildings and structures. We have considerable experience undertaking complex restoration projects across the United Kingdom, utilising specialist rope access techniques, to preserve the original character and integrity of the stonework.

Our skills are also essential in protecting stone from the effects of adverse weather and natural ageing. Part of the Zenith Structural Access group of companies, we restore historic buildings, churches, bridges, viaducts and commercial properties, and are specialists in the conservation of listed buildings.

Bridge Works

Masonry, stone and wrought iron bridges gave way to reinforced concrete in the early 20th century. Up until then thousands of river, road and rail crossings across the UK were forged by traditional stone and masonry arch construction techniques.

Never having been designed to withstand the impact of today’s environment, the decay and subsequent weakening of these structures is beginning to cause concerns for the national transport authorities.

The key skills of our team at Zenith Conservation, and our Engineers Consultancy, are transferable to assist with identifying solutions for suitable repair, refurbishment and strengthening techniques of ageing masonry and stone (or composite) bridges.

We are able to work as principle contractor or as a specialist to the transport authorities. In addition we are able to provide a reactive service to repair damaged masonry or stone parapets caused by vehicle impact or similar.

Structural Assessment

Zenith Consultants operate the most up to date design and analysis software that supports all of our engineering services. In conjunction with a fully trained and experienced team of Engineers, Technicians and Administrators, this forms the core of our business.

In addition to traditional Civil & Structural engineering consultancy services, we are also capable of surveying, assessing and reporting on all types of existing structure, be it a simple precast concrete lintel or a complex multi-level steel frame or stack for our industrial sector clients. Our principles of analysis and utilisation of applicable design standards and codes are the same throughout.
