Cogent Scaffolding is proud to be working alongside Infinity Constructions Group Pty Ltd on the Queens Wharf Towers 5 & 6 development, delivering specialised form support scaffold solutions on one of Brisbane’s most significant construction projects.

As the project continues to rise, our role focuses on providing critical support to the formwork systems that shape the structure. To date, over 2,100 tonnes of scaffold has been erected across both towers, reflecting the scale and complexity of the works involved.

Form support scaffold is a highly engineered temporary structure designed to carry the loads of wet concrete, formwork systems, and construction activities until the building elements achieve sufficient strength to support themselves.

Unlike standard access scaffolding, form support requires detailed design, precise load calculations, and careful sequencing to ensure both safety and efficiency on site. It must integrate seamlessly with the formwork methodology, accommodate high load demands, and adapt as the structure progresses floor by floor.

This is one of Cogent Scaffolding’s core specialties. Our team works closely with formwork contractors, engineers, and site teams to deliver systems that are not only compliant and safe, but also practical and efficient to install, adjust, and dismantle as the project evolves.

We look forward to continuing our contribution as Towers 5 & 6 take shape and the broader Queens Wharf precinct progresses.

Cogent Scaffolding is proud to have been awarded the scaffolding labour package for the new $300 million Logan Reserve Special School project.

Right now, the site is a huge stretch of earthworks, machinery and foundations, although we’ve started the scaffold covered walkways for dry access between the work zones. Over the coming months this open space will transform into something far more important: a purpose-built learning environment that will support local students, families and the wider Logan community for generations to come.

Being part of projects like this is what our team is all about. From the ground up, we’re committed to delivering safe, reliable scaffolding solutions that help bring major community infrastructure to life.

We’re looking forward to working alongside the project team and watching this site evolve from a cleared block into a modern education facility that will make a real difference in the community.

The finish line is in sight at the Princess Alexandra Hospital Expansion.

Cogent Scaffolding is proud to be supporting this critical health infrastructure project as it reaches a major milestone — the final pour of the Level 6 roof slab is now complete, with structural top-out fast approaching.

Delivering four new floors above a fully operational emergency department is no small task. With the hospital remaining live 24/7, our team has continued to provide safe, reliable access, edge protection and containment systems while ensuring zero disruption to essential healthcare services.

When complete, the expansion will deliver 249 additional inpatient beds, including:

• 30 new ICU beds and treatment areas
• 13 cancer treatment bays
• Upgraded cardiac catheter lab admission and recovery areas

Proud to be working alongside John Holland and all project partners to help deliver infrastructure that will support Queensland communities for years to come.

NEXTDC B2 Brisbane Stage 2

Cogent Scaffolding is proud to be delivering a full access and protection solution on this project, working with Multiplex, as the primary scaffold and high soffit provider. Leveraging the versatility and engineering strength of the Layher Australia scaffolding system, our team is ensuring safe, efficient, and adaptable access throughout every stage of construction.

From the outset, the focus has been on creating a solution that not only meets site requirements but also considers the safety of workers, the public, and the surrounding environment.

Safe Access with Covered Walkways:
A key component of the project is the installation of covered walkways leading into the site. These structures provide essential overhead protection, allowing safe movement for both workers and the public while maintaining uninterrupted site access.

Designed and installed using the Layher system, these walkways combine strength, flexibility, and speed of assembly—ensuring minimal disruption while maintaining the highest safety standards.

Environmental Control with Layher Protect System Panels:
Understanding the impact construction can have on surrounding areas, Cogent has incorporated a wall system into the scaffold design using the "Layher Protect System" Panels. This system plays a critical role in:

◾ Superior dust and debris containment
◾ Significant noise reduction
◾ Weather protection
◾ Improved aesthetics with a clean, uniform appearance
◾ Enhanced safety by creating a solid separation between work zones and public areas
◾ Fire resistance
◾ Anti-climb measure
◾ Anti-mould

The Layher Protect System is a fully integrated, modular panel system designed to attach directly to Layher scaffolding. It provides a robust, enclosed barrier that delivers multiple benefits and unlike temporary sheeting solutions, Project Panels are rigid and reusable, offering a more durable and sustainable approach to site enclosure.

Structural Support with 4-Leg Shoring Towers:
To support critical structural elements, Cogent has implemented 4-leg shoring towers across the site. These towers are used to carry bridging beams into position, providing:

◾ Reliable load-bearing support
◾ Flexibility to adapt as the build progresses
◾ Safe and efficient installation of structural components

This ensures that all temporary works are engineered to the highest standard, maintaining stability and safety throughout the construction process.

12/02/2026

The Mantaray Marina & Residences project continues to present a technically demanding access environment, with scaffolding playing a central role in enabling safe and efficient progress across all elevations of the build.

Throughout 2025, our crews maintained full perimeter façade scaffolding around the structure, providing continuous access for rendering, painting, cladding and glazing works as the building advances. The scale of the install, combined with its waterfront location, has required detailed planning around load management, wind exposure and site logistics.

On the rooftop, complex scaffold configurations have been delivered to support installation of the private stainless steel pools and surrounding finishes. These areas required adaptable access solutions to allow multiple trades to operate safely within tight working zones, while maintaining edge protection and clear crane access.

The marina edge has introduced another layer of complexity. Working adjacent to water demands strict controls, stable base solutions and careful coordination with marine infrastructure installation. Scaffold systems along the waterfront façade have enabled safe access while maintaining protection to the surrounding environment.

As the project moves into its final construction phases, scaffold structures are being progressively adapted to suit façade completion and finishing works, ensuring safe access remains in place right through to handover.
