‘NEXT GENERATION’ SYSTEM SCAFFOLDING LAUNCHED

Major access and scaffolding specialist adds to product range

Access and scaffolding product specialist, Turner Access Ltd, has announced a new addition to its range with the Turner OCTO® System Scaffolding – described as the “next generation in system scaffolding”.

The Turner OCTO® adopts “factors required in a scaffolding system for the future” including:

safe assembly, alteration and dismantling achieved with OCTO® GuardAid® enabling advance guardrail methodology;
tamper-resistant decks with the OCTO® Lock function removing risk of unauthorised modification and reducing inspection time;
reduced cost potential through reduced labour and other operating costs;
environmental benefits by utilisation of longer life materials; and
system components manufactured within a BS EN ISO 9001:2008 environment.

Turner Access Contracts Manager states;

“Turner OCTO® has opened doors for us with many local authorities. We have been awarded term contracts because the client knows our System will ensure the job is completed on schedule.

The modular nature of the System allows us to assemble runs of scaffolding very quickly before other sub-contractors are on site. This type of work is very common in social housing projects where time is of the essence.

Turner OCTO® is often the client’s choice because it is aesthetically pleasing, unlike some traditional types of scaffolding. This is a benefit for works on Government buildings, landmarks or areas in tourist hotspots.”

The SPE Offshore Europe conference and exhibition takes plsace in Aberdeen from 3rd to 6th September 2013 and the system will be on display at Stand 1C41 or can be seen on the Turner website.
