What Is a Temporary Scaffold Bridge?
A temporary scaffold bridge is a covered or open walkway structure built from scaffold tubes and boards. It spans an obstacle and provides a safe route for people or materials to pass over it. Bridges can also provide overhead protection for pedestrians on pavements adjacent to construction sites.
Common Uses
- Pedestrian protection alongside construction sites on public roads
- Safe crossing points over trenches and excavations
- Covered walkways protecting the public from overhead work
- Access routes between buildings on multi-structure sites
Our Approach
We design and build temporary bridges to suit the specific site requirements, including span, load capacity and any local authority conditions. Where the bridge is on a public highway, we can advise on scaffold licences and pavement closure notices.
All bridges are built to current safety standards and inspected regularly throughout the hire period.
Common Questions
Do I need a licence for a scaffold bridge on a public road?
Yes. Scaffold on or over a public highway requires a licence from the local council. We can advise on the process for Havering and other authorities in the area.
Can the bridge accommodate vehicle access?
Scaffold bridges are typically designed for pedestrian and light material traffic. For vehicle access, alternative solutions would be needed.
