Icopal has supplied 9,000m2 of its market leading flame retardant scaffold sheeting for Embassy Gardens, a prestigious new residential development close to the River Thames in Battersea. Providing a protective and secure enclosure to the scaffold for the site team, the sheeting solution also offers a valuable advertising opportunity with it being such a prominent central London site.
Located adjacent to the new U.S. Embassy, the development will create a total of 2,000 new homes comprising a mix of luxury suites, one and two bedroom apartments and three bedroom penthouses.
With the complex shapes of the residential buildings, its proximity to the River Thames and the potential for strong winds, the site’s traditional tube and fitting scaffold design had to be clad effectively with high performance flame retardant sheeting during construction.
Icopal’s Monarflex Scaffband Flamesafe scaffold sheeting was secured to a purpose-designed scaffold screen framework to ensure it remained in place. This provided a flush finish, whilst extending the lifespan of the product.
System: Monarflex Scaffband FlameSafe
Project: Embassy Gardens
Contractor: Millcroft Scaffolding Ltd
“Monarflex is a high grade of scaffold sheeting that is less likely to fray or tear, a benefit that was key due to the development’s proximity to the Thames. What’s more, with the development’s prime location, we felt that the product we used to weatherproof the scaffold needed to be of the highest durability and quality as ultimately it was an advert for our company and the main contractor, Ballymore Group. For this, its crisp visual appearance is ideal.”
Sam Jones, Director at Millcroft Scaffolding
