Grosvenor Waterside Development, London SW1
Efficient PERI UP Rosett Flex scaffolding
compliments SKYDECK slab formwork
Midgard Ltd, the main contracting arm of John Reddington Ltd, are managing the Grosvenor Waterside development of luxury city centre apartments consisting of two RC frame buildings of ten and twelve storeys. Using SKYDECK and TRIO to cast the concrete frame, John Reddington Ltd also used PERI UP Rosett Flex scaffolding to provide access and increase site safety.
Midgard Ltd, who were additionally responsible for cladding the building, worked with PERI design engineers to produce an adaptable scaffold design that was compatible with all phases of the construction process.
The scaffold was offset from the footprint of the building to allow room for the cantilevering SKYDECK slab formwork. When this was removed to the next floor, a console bracket arrangement was added that extended the scaffold onto the slab.
As a result, the perimeter of the building was edge protected without the need for additional barriers. At the cladding phase, the width of the scaffold extension was reduced, by removal of a board, allowing room for safe and efficient placement of anodised aluminium cladding.
The PERI UP scaffolding provided a stable and adaptable safety “cage” around the structures that eliminated many of the hazards that are generally associated with working at a buildings edge. In addition, new Aluminium Staircases 75 allowed access to all levels of the building.
This entire arrangement of scaffolding for both buildings – equivalent to a façade area of over 12,000 m² - was erected and maintained by a team of just three men.

Senior Engineer
“We found both the PERI UP scaffolding and the SKYDECK slab formwork system extremely quick and easy to use. They worked well together and contributed hugely to the success of the project.“
