Project: Power Plant Boiler
Location: Mpumalanga, South Africa
Scaffolding Solution:
Southey Contracting partnered with Layher South Africa to revolutionize maintenance scaffolding at the Duvha Power Station. Using the innovative Layher Allround modular scaffolding system, the team assembled two 40-meter-high full internal boiler scaffolds, enabling efficient and safe maintenance.
This project marked the first use of the Layher system at the plant, with Layher South Africa providing comprehensive training and on-site support. Scaffolding crews quickly adapted, meeting tight deadlines and delivering a stable, high-performing structure to the client’s satisfaction.
Key Benefits of the Layher Allround System:
- Comfort and Safety: Equipped with staircases and handrails.
- Efficiency: Faster assembly and reduced downtime.
- Lightweight Design: 50% lighter than the original scaffolding design.
- Load-Bearing Capacity: Advanced FW system supports heavy loads.
- Customizability: Special parts allow modifications to enhance usability.
Conclusion:
Layher’s meticulous planning and innovative design led to significant maintenance savings—reducing 21 days off the shutdown period. The lightweight yet robust structure enabled crews to complete more work within the planned timeframe, ensuring the project’s success from start to finish.
