Bridge-Cum-Façade Scaffolding Solves Complex Stairwell Challenges
Addressing Inefficiencies in Multi-Level Interiors
Interior fit-out projects often involve constrained spaces, irregular surfaces, and complex architectural features — making work-at-height particularly challenging. These conditions demand scaffold solutions that are not only safe but also flexible and time-efficient.
ANJ, one of India’s leading turnkey interior contracting firms, faced such a challenge at a large commercial project in Noida. With staircases of varying elevation and glass railings obstructing conventional scaffold placement, their team needed a solution that could provide uninterrupted access across both walls and ceilings — without disrupting progress or compromising safety.
The Challenge: Limitations of Conventional Mobile Towers
ANJ initially considered standard mobile towers and base-plate scaffolds but encountered several critical limitations:
- Stair Obstruction: Uneven stair elevation made standard scaffold placement unsafe and unstable
- High Space Consumption: Covering the full 22m x 11m area required repeated scaffold shifts, affecting efficiency
- Mobility Restrictions: Moving towers across the stairwell would require dismantling each time
- Time Loss Risk: Frequent repositioning and re-installation would increase project duration significantly
- Custom Bracing Challenge: Glass railings on-site were incompatible with standard 1.8m bracing, requiring special adaptations
The Solution: Y Equipment Services’ Custom Bridge-Cum-Façade
Recognizing the need for a flexible, high-coverage, and safe scaffold solution, Y Equipment Services provided a custom-engineered Bridge-Cum-Façade system, specifically designed for irregular staircases and elevated interiors.
Key Features of the Solution:
• Single Setup Coverage: Spanned the entire 22m x 11m area without blocking stair access
• Custom Decking: 2.5m decks used to bridge glass railing safely and efficiently
• Multi-Height Access: Accommodated uneven stair levels via multi-level façade structure
• Tool-Free Assembly: Reduced time and complexity during installation
• Safe Working Platform: Included guardrails and anti-slip platforms for worker safety
The Impact: Time, Labor, and Safety Gains
Y Equipment Services’ custom scaffold solution delivered immediate and measurable improvements:
✅ 3–4 Days Saved in Project Timeline: Eliminated repeated dismantling and repositioning
✅ 60% Reduction in Setup Redundancy: One structure served multiple access points
✅ 40% Lower Manpower Requirement: Enabled shared platform use and reduced idle time
✅ 100% Safe Navigation: Ensured stable movement even across glass railing zones
Smarter Scaffold Solutions for Complex Interiors
This project demonstrates how Y Equipment Services goes beyond standard rentals to deliver tailored scaffold systems that improve efficiency, safety, and on-site productivity. For projects involving staircases, atriums, or glass-heavy interiors, a customized aluminium access solution is the smart way forward.
