  • Design of cable supported roof

This project involved the design of a full enclosure scaffold system for the rehabilitation of a large, elevated storage tank. Scaffolding was approximately 115 feet in diameter and 160 feet tall with a cable-supported airbag roof. The scaffold provided complete access for abrasive blasting and coating operations while fully enclosing the work area to support environmental containment and worker safety.

The tank's size and unique roof geometry required careful coordination of the scaffold layout and enclosure system to provide continuous access from the foundation to the roof. The resulting design gave the contractor a safe, efficient work platform capable of supporting large-scale surface preparation and coating operations throughout the project.
