In-House Scaffold Design and Temporary Works Engineering
Complex industrial scaffolding requires more than standard configurations. Restricted access, heavy load requirements, proximity to live plant, and tight structural tolerances all demand a designed solution. Alti Access carries out scaffold design and temporary works engineering in-house, giving clients a single point of contact from design through to erection.
Every design is produced to BS EN standards, with full structural calculations, method statements, and handover documentation. Designs are prepared by qualified engineers with direct experience of heavy industrial environments: power stations, refineries, biomass plants, and process facilities.
Bringing design in-house means faster turnaround, tighter coordination between the design team and the erection crews, and full accountability throughout the project.

- how we work
From Brief to Approved Design
A structured process from initial enquiry to design sign-off and erection handover.
Enquiry & Brief
We take the access brief, review any existing drawings, and agree the scope with the client and principal contractor.
Site
Survey
An engineer visits the site to assess conditions, structural constraints, and any hazards affecting the design.
Design & Calculations
The design team produces the scaffold drawing, structural calculations, and associated documentation to BS EN standards.
Handover to Erection
The approved design package is handed to the erection crew. The design engineer remains available throughout the build.
Why Clients Specify Alti Access for Scaffold Design
Three reasons clients bring Alti Access in for scaffold design and temporary works engineering.
Design and Erection Under One Roof
Alti Access handles both the design and the erection, which means the engineers who produce the drawings work directly with the teams who build to them. Fewer handover gaps. Faster resolution when conditions change on site.
Industrial Environment Experience
The design team has direct experience of heavy industrial sites — not just standard construction environments. That means designs account for live plant proximity, access restrictions, and the realities of working in complex process facilities.
Full Documentation
as Standard
Every design package includes structural calculations, method statements, risk assessments, and inspection records. All documentation is formatted for principal contractor submission and client record-keeping.
