37-39 St Andrew Square has been an incredibly exciting project for City Access. The building itself, is a piece of Edinburgh’s architectural history.
A temporary roof was required to protect external and internal historical listed features.
The scaffolding had to be designed to allow critical basement works to progress. We provided a designed truss out scaffold solution which was supported off the existing building at high level to allow the temporary roof to be erected early on.
The scaffold solution included a large, bespoke bird cage platform to allow the sensitive restoration of both the ornate plastering and the gold gilding to be completed.
Another key area was for City Access to provide access solutions to the six ornate statues to aid careful works to allow the restoration to be carried out.
