Transforming Work-at-Height Efficiency in Airport Terminals
Completing glass roof glazing in high-traffic, large-scale facilities like the Delhi T3 terminal requires precision, safety, and efficiency. Traditional methods involving MS scaffolds often demand significant labor, time, and effort, making them unsuitable for fast-paced environments such as airport terminals.
Singapore Airlines and Lufthansa terminals at Delhi T3 faced these challenges while glazing glass roofs at a height of 14.2 meters. They required a safe, reliable, and time-efficient solution that adhered to international safety standards.
The Challenge: Ensuring Safety and Speed at Extreme Heights
The project presented several critical challenges:
1. Safety Concerns: Conventional MS scaffolds lacked guardrails and platforms, posing significant safety risks for workers operating at 14.2 meters.
2. Labor and Time-Intensive Setup: The heavy and bulky nature of MS scaffolds increased setup time and required excessive manpower.
3. High Productivity Demands: The project involved glazing 253 glass panels within a short timeframe, necessitating an efficient work platform.
The client needed a modern scaffolding solution that prioritized safety, mobility, and speed while ensuring adherence to international standards.
The Solution: Y Equipment Services’ XO Aluminium Scaffold System
To address the challenges, Y Equipment Services proposed the use of an XO Aluminium Scaffold System, designed to provide safety, versatility, and efficiency at height.
Key Features of the Solution:
