We are thrilled to share a major milestone with you!

With a proud legacy spanning over three decades in the construction industry, we're expanding our services and rebranding our company to better reflect our comprehensive service offerings.

As of today, we are officially transitioning from Stilcon Scaffolding to Stilcon Industrial Services.

This rebranding is more than just a name change; it's a reflection of our commitment to offering an even more comprehensive suite of solutions to our valued clients in the infrastructure, commercial, and industrial sectors. While scaffolding remains at the heart of our expertise, we're introducing additional services including Scaffolding, Rigging, Steel Fabrication, Abrasive Blasting & Chemical Removal, Industrial Painting & Coating, Shrink Wrapping, Design & Engineering and Hire & Sales - Scaffolding.

As we embark on this exciting new chapter as Stilcon Industrial Services, we look forward to the opportunity to explore new avenues of collaboration with you in the new year.

We recently designed a fully encapsulated scaffold for the installation of a new glass façade to one of the internal walls at Emporium Melbourne.

The scaffold required to bridge over a large opening in the floor, and below this was the main public escalator feeding Emporium Melbourne. The scaffold was also positioned in the dining area, requiring minimal foot traffic for the project. With the use of the aluminum FlexBeam from Layher Australia, this provided support from the towers on either side of the void.

We erected an intermediate support allowing us to erect a Layher Allround scaffold, which had a system of tension braces. The idea was to create a large truss, and integrate a working access scaffold within. A buttress frame was designed spanning the void as the scaffold could not be tied.

👨‍💼 Paul Allwood and Richard Morrison from Layher provided great feedback on our expertise, "The ingenuity used when combining the Allround System with the FlexBeam system is really impressive."

At one end, the access had to cantilever over a services roof, which was a non-load bearing surface. Using the cantilever erecting method proved to be advantageous when using the Layher system. This allowed the scaffold to extend and then brace up to the supporting steel above.

The seamless ex*****on of the scaffold installation and dismantle not only met but exceeded our clients' expectations, offering them uninterrupted access to carry out their install. 👏

🚈 Here is a glimpse of the complexity and scale of the Victoria's Big Build Metro Tunnel Stations, Town Hall Station site so far. It's fascinating to see the role of scaffolding formwork assist in the installation of concrete panels for the City Square entrance.

Using scaffolding formwork is essential in large construction projects to provide support for various structures and to ensure safety for the workers. The fact that the concrete panels are five to eight meters tall and weigh more than five tonnes each!

As construction projects continue to grow in complexity, we are dedicated to providing innovative solutions tailored to meet unique project requirements through our expert in-house team.

The versatility of cranable scaffolds proves advantageous in accommodating diverse project requirements to cater to structural demands, allowing flexibility and enhancing project precision. Before the scaffold can be craned to it's location, Monarflex encapsulation is used to cover the scaffold to facilitate uninterrupted site work, safeguarding personnel from diverse weather conditions and enabling operations to proceed seamlessly despite adverse elements.

The cranable scaffold required a spreader beam to connect to a crane, a simple device consisting of a long bar that holds two slings apart. It’s designed to convert lifting loads into compressive forces and also spread apart the legs of a sling when lifting.

We're not just erecting scaffolds; we're raising the standards of efficiency, innovation and safety. 🏗️

The construction industry is undergoing a transformative phase with the integration of cranable access solutions and setting new benchmarks in project ex*****on.

The Stilcon Scaffolding Design and Engineering team designed six meter high cranable Layher Stretcher Access Deck and Hop Ups, providing versatile access to platforms for welding works on the girders.

When designing, we had to ensure that all braces and support structures were engineered to function primarily in tension, emphasising their ability to withstand pulling forces. Tension bracing is crucial to connect swivel couplers to socket base and standards when lifting the top, as all the forces involved are directed downwards. To ensure stability and safety, it's important to distribute the downward force back up to the top.

It was also essential to pick up every standard or support point evenly when lifting. This ensured the load was balanced and did not create uneven stress on the structure or the lifting equipment. Proper distribution of the load minimises the risk of structural damage or accidents during the lifting process.

This design consideration was essential for safety and stability during lifting operations. ⚠️

Check out the progress at Pakenham station! 👷🛤️

We've been facilitating the installation of over 200 L-beams out of a total of 272 required for the construction of a 2.5km rail bridge. The beams will provide support for the elevated station platforms above a walkway, connecting commuters to the station from both sides of the rail line. 🚆

Our experienced in house team designed and engineered the handrail system for installation on the exterior of the Super T girders. The handrails increase on-site productivity and safety. Incorporating handrail installation into the project's design phase can yield significant benefits, including time and cost savings, as well as risk reduction. We have also established access to and egress from working platforms for safe working conditions and the types of work being carried out.

By considering handrails during the design stage, contractors can safeguard the integrity and quality of the construction materials essential for the project.

Ensuring safety is paramount.
