Camera Towers and Broadcast Platforms
Stable, Elevated Structures for Live Coverage
Our scaffold towers provide safe and secure platforms for camera operators, directors, and OB teams. These builds are wind-load compliant, fully accessible, and designed with clear sightlines in mind. We offer open or enclosed platforms depending on weather and camera spec, with access stairs, rails, and hoarding as needed.
Front-of-House Risers and Production Decks
Reliable Scaffold Builds for Control Teams and Engineers
We supply FOH platforms for sound, lighting, and production control, custom built for each site. Whether it’s a single-rig event or a full festival setup, our FOH structures are quick to build, safe to access, and can be enclosed or covered where required.
Viewing Platforms and VIP Terraces
Branded Scaffold Structures for Guests and Sponsors
Scaffold systems can be used to create high-capacity viewing decks for VIPs, press, or ticketed audiences. With custom finishes, hoardings, and weather protection available, we help create elevated experiences that are practical, polished, and safe for crowd-facing use.
Scaffold Support for Stages, Signage and Rigging
Back-End Reliability for the Front of House
We provide scaffold-based support structures for main stages, side wings, screen rigs, signage, lighting towers, and more. Every build is engineered and installed to meet site load requirements and crew safety standards.
Custom Scaffold Structures for Retail and Brand Use
Pop-Up Platforms That Support Sales, Promotion and Activation
We use scaffold to create modular, reusable structures for merchandise stalls, sampling stations, and brand showcases. These builds can be dressed in printed hoardings, wrapped in vinyl, or fitted with timber finishes, depending on the look you want to achieve.
Access Structures, Walkways and Site Bridges
Safe and Functional Movement Around Your Event Site
From pedestrian bridges to elevated crossings and temporary staircases, we provide scaffold-based access structures that help you manage site layout and footfall. Every build is compliant and constructed with safe public access in mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you only use Layher scaffold?
We primarily use Layher for most of our event builds because of its strength and speed, but we can also work with other systems if required for a specific site or finish.
Can scaffold be used for public viewing areas?
Yes, and we build them to meet all crowd safety requirements. We include handrails, access stairs, edge protection, and optional weatherproof finishes.
Can your scaffold structures be branded?
Yes, we offer full branding services. Structures can be finished with hoardings, printed banners, vinyl wraps, or scenic cladding, depending on your event style.
Are your scaffold structures compliant and safe?
Yes, every structure we install includes full RAMS, structural sign-off, and public safety planning. We are experienced in both crew-only and public-facing builds.
How quickly can scaffold structures be installed?
Very quickly. With a clear site and access plan, we can build most platforms, towers, and FOH risers in a day or less. Larger multi-level builds are typically phased over two to three days.
