This is a birdcage scaffold built for canopy works at Federation Square, the final stages of delivering the Metro Tunnel works, located in the heart of Melbourne. A birdcage is built up to provide continuous working decks across the entire area at height, so the crews working the canopy above have a solid platform under every part of it rather than chasing access from the edges.
The birdcage is built to hold a clear internal passage roughly 2.4 metres wide and 2.5 metres high straight through the middle. Two stretcher stairs give proper access up to the top deck, and a Kwikstage mobile scaffold sits up top to reach the spots a fixed deck cannot.
