Crown Casino Perth faced a significant safety issue in its entrance foyer, where the original ceiling-lined sheets were peeling away, posing a risk of falling objects. The project required scaffold construction over two escalators and two stair accesses, while keeping the area open to pedestrian access during scaffold erection and subsequent work. This presented the dual challenge of maintaining public safety and ensuring uninterrupted access to the casino.
Our Solution
Skill Access devised a strategic solution to meet Crown Casino’s requirements while ensuring public safety and minimal disruption. The scaffold was erected in two halves, allowing continuous public access. Key measures included maintaining pedestrian pathways, using barricades and spotters for safety, and keeping the escalators operational.
The Results
This innovative approach ensured the project was completed efficiently within the client’s strict timelines. The scaffold spanned across the escalators, keeping them free from obstructions and operational. Public access was maintained throughout the project, ensuring minimal disruption to the casino’s operations while addressing the critical safety issue.
