Maintaining Business Continuity & Public Access

In busy commercial environments and high-street locations across Cornwall, floor space is at a premium. Temp Scaff provides specialist gantry scaffolding (also known as "bridging") to create elevated work platforms that span over pavements, roads, or shop entrances without obstructing the flow of people and traffic below.

Our gantry solutions allow you to undertake major facade repairs, signage updates, or structural maintenance while ensuring your business remains open and the public stays safe.

Versatile Elevated Frameworks

We design bespoke gantries to solve complex logistical challenges in urban and commercial settings:

  • Pedestrian Protection Gantries: Heavy-duty "walkway" tunnels that shield pedestrians from overhead works while keeping high streets like Truro or Falmouth accessible.

  • Loading Gantries: Reinforced platforms designed to hold heavy materials, plant machinery, or site huts, elevating your logistics when ground space is unavailable.

  • Public Highway Bridging: Engineered spans that arch over roads or car park entrances, allowing for essential maintenance without closing vital transport links.

  • Shopfront Scaffolding: Specialist builds that bridge over retail entrances, ensuring customers can enter your store safely while work continues above.

Safety, Licensing & Logistics

Operating in public spaces requires a higher level of planning and compliance. When you partner with Temp Scaff for gantry solutions, we manage the details:

  • Pavement Licensing: We assist with the necessary local council permits and "Street Works" licenses required for erecting structures on public highways.

  • Structural Engineering: Every gantry is professionally engineered to ensure load-bearing capacities meet the specific needs of your trades and materials.

  • Public Protection: Our gantries feature high-clearance heights, integrated lighting for nighttime safety, child-proof guarding, and non-slip walking surfaces.

  • Minimal Impact Builds: We offer out-of-hours installation and dismantling to avoid peak trading times and minimize disruption to local residents and businesses.
