HAKI has Covent Garden covered

HAKI provided four separate roof sections to cover the Grade II listed building, which had an additional storey built and a new permanent roof installed. The £35 million project also involved removing all the internal floors and rebuilding the interior to create a new head office for an international technology company.

The roof was supplied through Harsco Infrastructure. Throughout the project, HAKI worked closely with Harsco Infrastructure and the main scaffolding contactor, SGC Scaffolding, to ensure a successful solution for the project.

The roof was installed using a ‘roll-out’ method, which allows all work to be done from one gable end scaffold with no need to climb beams. This system ensured a safe system of work that complied with Work At Height Regulations and suited the restricted space requirements on site. The roof’s unique design allowed it to be opened at any time to allow the craning of materials.

The innovative HAKITEC 750 Roof System is the first choice for static, mobile or crane lifted structures. It can be tailored to any structure and is lightweight, safe, fast and easy to erect, providing maximum protection against the elements or helping to contain hazardous materials.
