We're incredibly proud to share the successful takedown of the SPAN 4 Protection Platform at Liverpool Street Station. 👏

This wasn't just a standard dismantle. Instead, it was an engineering feat. To meet strict program constraints for our client, Morgan Sindall, we moved away from traditional methods to something much more innovative.

🚩 The Challenge:
Dismantling a suspended scaffold platform measuring 50m x 12m and weighing 16 tonnes, all while minimising disruption to Network Rail and station stakeholders.

👷‍♂️ The Palmer's Solution:
With the expertise of our design partners at RDG Engineering, we lowered the entire platform from a height of 15 meters using 10 inverted Loadstar 2-ton hoists.

🌟 The Result:
✅ Efficiency: Preparation began at 07:00, and the entire structure was dismantled by 14:00 (all within a single Sunday shift!)
✅ Safety: Used real-time load cells to monitor winch parameters and ensure perfect load balancing.
✅ Innovation: Eliminated the need for a temporary mobile deck, significantly reducing manual handling and working at height.

Overall, this project is a testament to what can be achieved when innovation meets expertise. A massive shoutout to Tony Mileham, Stuart Batten, and the entire Palmers London Team for their meticulous planning and ex*****on.

Building a future for the scaffolding industry requires more than just high-quality equipment. We believe it requires investing in the next generation of talent.

Because at its core, it's a highly technical, safety-critical profession that forms the backbone of the entire construction and industrial sectors.

At Palmers, we're incredibly proud of our commitment to apprenticeships and our ongoing mission to promote scaffolding as a credible, long-term career path.

This dedication can be seen in action at our facility with Reuben Gregory and Liam Maude. 👏

By providing Reuben and Liam with the mentorship and hands-on experience they need, they aren't just learning a trade. They're mastering the complex engineering, rigorous safety standards and precision required to work on some of the UK’s most significant infrastructure.

For our leadership team, this investment in professional standards is non-negotiable. Paul Duggan and Liam Duggan remain committed to elevating the status of the industry, ensuring that apprentices like Reuben and Liam view scaffolding as a long-term, stable career path with no ceiling on where they can go.

We are absolutely thrilled to be part of a 4-page feature in the latest issue of Rail Engineer Magazine! 🌟

This fantastic coverage dives deep into the complex roof refurbishment at London Liverpool Street. We are incredibly proud to work alongside Network Rail and Morgan Sindall Infrastructure to engineer a bespoke access solution for one of the UK’s busiest stations.

Operating safely above a live, high-traffic concourse requires absolute precision. So to facilitate these critical works without disrupting the millions of passengers below, our team developed a bespoke, lightweight aluminium ‘Bridge Panel’ system. 👷‍♂️

Erected during an intensive 8-day Christmas station closure, the 50-metre decks slide horizontally through the trainshed using a custom platform roller system and calibrated winches. By engineering this innovative mobile scaffold platform, we were able to deliver major project benefits:

🙌 Zero Disruptions: Positioned safely above the overhead electrification (OLE) equipment, allowing movement without the need for isolation.
💰 Major Cost Efficiency: Delivered at less than half the cost of traditional scaffolding.
🚀 Accelerated Delivery: Faster installation saved 3–6 months upfront and reduced the total length of the works by more than 12 months.

Once again, a huge thank you to Rail Engineer for the spotlight, and to our dedicated Palmers teams and site partners who made this complex temporary works feat a reality.

Palmers Supports Local Talent Through Heathrow Academy Initiative
The Heathrow Academy, managed by Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL), is a program dedicated to sourcing and developing local talent. Its primary goal is to encourage Heathrow’s supply chain partners to recruit individuals from the five boroughs surrounding the airport.
As a Tier One supplier to Heathrow, Palmers was proud to join this initiative and contribute to the development of local careers through the Academy program.
Participants undergo a structured traineeship, and those who successfully complete the program are offered full-time positions within the airport community. Palmers is delighted to announce that our first joint candidate, Kasey Ricketts, has completed her course and accepted a full-time role with Palmers Scaffolding UK Limited.
We warmly congratulate Kasey on this achievement and welcome her to the Palmers team. We also extend our thanks to Emma Mileham, whose efforts were instrumental in bridging the connection between the Academy and Palmers.
