Bondeck

Bondeck has just completed a fall prevention project for a large timber frame build for a developer in Cambridge.

The 5 timber frame buildings with an area totalling 550m2 were successfully decked out in under 2 days with our teams working in a rolling programme to keep ahead of the trusses being fitted. This enabled work to proceed without a single delay to the delight of the site manager and the joiners.

The joinery foreman commented how much more quickly and safely the project progressed than usual. “This is the first time I have worked on a safety deck. It saved us a lot of time and obviously is much safer than bean bags which don’t stop you from falling and can’t be worked off. I also appreciated your guys working through the rain to keep things going. Superb job”.

Bondeck will price for any trad, timber, steel frame or other type of build.

Bondeck recently completed this major safety decking project for one of the UK’s largest commercial developers. The build required a 2.8 metre high platform for the construction of a 800 square metre cut roof. Erected in only two days, the decking (a combination of our full-height and Lo-deck systems was installed in a fluid rolling programme to provide a working platform and leading edge protection for the carpenters installing the roof.

The client estimated the use of decking provided a fourteen day saving in the build programme (the alternative had been birdcage scaffold).

The system was fully braced and tensioned to ensure a stable lightweight working platform. Both the client and the carpentry sub-contractor, neither of whom had used the system before, declared themselves delighted with the result commenting that they “liked the simple solution the system brought to the project”.

Bondeck (and our sister company Bond Brick) have attained full accreditation to CHAS (Contractors Health & safety Assessment Scheme). As fully accredited companies, we will be required to undergo an annual audit to ensure our ongoing compliance with Health & Safety best practice.

Rick Bond, Managing Director of both companies, is delighted with the success; “these prestigious awards further demonstrate our ongoing committment to health and safety by ensuring that our personnel, systems and management reflect best practice”.
