Scaffold Design Engineering

Scaffold isn't just about access — it's a structural system that has to carry loads, withstand wind, and stay standing for the duration of the works. We design scaffold schemes that work for the contractor, the certifier and the people working on it.

Arion's scaffold experience covers perimeter scaffold for high-rise buildings, marine scaffolds for harbour-side events, and bespoke systems for unusual geometries. Including projects like 499 Botany Rd Zetland (Buildings 9A & 9B) and the Sail GP Sydney 2026 marine scaffolds.

What We Design

• Perimeter scaffolds — access and protection scaffolds for new build and refurbishment.

• Marine & over-water scaffolds — engineered for harbour-side and aquatic event venues.

• Event scaffolds — grandstand support, broadcast positions, structural backdrops.

• Specialised access scaffolds — heritage façades, internal voids, tight tolerances.

• Needle beam and cantilever scaffolds — where standard tube and fitting won't reach.

How We Work

Every scaffold design accounts for the actual loadings the system will see — not just live loads but wind, debris, brick guards and crowd loads where relevant. Documentation is provided ready for SafeWork notification and certifier review.
