Scaffold Encapsulation for Industrial Maintenance and Remediation

Many industrial maintenance and remediation projects require more than an open scaffold. Where works generate dust, debris, or hazardous materials, or where the structure needs protection from weather during long-duration programmes, a fully encapsulated scaffold system is the right solution.

Alti Access designs and installs scaffold encapsulation using scaffold sheeting, shrink wrap systems, and custom containment solutions, all coordinated with the scaffold structure from the outset. The encapsulation system is designed to the same specification as the scaffold itself.

With 30 years of experience in heavy industrial environments, the team understands the compliance requirements around encapsulation, the material performance demands of industrial sites, and the importance of maintaining containment integrity throughout the works.

Encapsulation Services

A full range of scaffold encapsulation solutions for industrial maintenance, hazardous material works, and environmental protection.

1
Scaffold Sheeting and Debris Containment

Full scaffold sheeting systems for debris containment during industrial maintenance and demolition works. Designed to prevent material escape at height and meet site environmental and safety requirements.

2
Shrink Wrap Encapsulation

Scaffold shrink wrap systems for weather protection and full containment during long-duration maintenance programmes. Suitable for structures of all sizes and geometries, including complex industrial plant.

3
Hazardous Material Containment

Encapsulation systems designed for works involving hazardous materials including asbestos, lead paint, and other controlled substances. Systems designed to meet HSE guidance and site-specific environmental requirements.

4
Weather Protection Systems

Fully enclosed scaffold structures providing weather protection for sensitive works or structures requiring protection from the elements during extended maintenance or refurbishment programmes.

From Assessment to Installed System

Every encapsulation project is planned and coordinated from the outset, with the containment system designed alongside the scaffold structure.

1
Site Assessment

We review the works scope, the hazard profile, and the environmental and compliance requirements for the project.

2
System Design

The encapsulation system is designed alongside the scaffold — material specification, fixing method, and containment performance all confirmed at this stage.

3

Installation

CISRS-trained teams install the scaffold and encapsulation system together, with containment integrity checked before the structure is handed over.

4
Maintenance & Adaptation

We maintain and adapt the encapsulation throughout the programme as access requirements change, and carry out controlled removal on completion.

Why Clients Choose Alti Access for Encapsulation

Three things that matter on encapsulation contracts — and how Alti Access delivers them.

Designed In, Not Bolted On

The encapsulation system is designed as part of the scaffold from the start. That means the structure performs as a single system.This provides better containment performance, fewer on-site problems, and a cleaner handover.

Compliance Experience

Alti Access understands the regulatory requirements around encapsulation for hazardous materials work. Method statements, RAMS, and inspection records are produced as standard, formatted for principal contractor and environmental authority submission.

Industrial Environment Track Record

Encapsulation on industrial sites is more demanding than standard construction environments. Alti Access has 30 years of experience on the sites where it matters — power stations, refineries, and heavy process plant.
