Erected one of the largest temporary roof's presently standing in Europe.

UBIX® customer, Globe Scaffolding has erected one of the largest temporary roof's in Europe.

Located north of London, the UBIX® roof is being used to protect a building within which operations inside can not be interrupted in any way, and water entering the building would have severe consequences.

The UBIX® roof measures a gigantic 45m wide and 64m long, with a total coverage area of 2823sqm. To avoid unprotected work at height and climbing on the beams, no cranes were used in the erection; the UBIX® roof was erected entirely with the roll-out method using Combisafe's RUNWAY track system.

During the roll-out erection, the scaffolders worked from the safety of a stepped gable end scaffold to assemble each bay of the UBIX® roof. The complete 25 bay roof, with an assembly weight in excess of 30 tons, was erected without any difficulty, by an average of 5 scaffolders in 15 working days.

This site also used the Combisafe Storm Stopper sheeting system; an innovatively enhanced keder sheeting system designed to withstand the most demanding applications. Roof sheets measuring almost 50m in length were used on this project.
