CDM
Regulations
We comply with regulation 13 of the CDM regulations 1994. All
designs take into account health and safety and also keep risks to
a minimum. We also provide information relating to any hazardous
structures and substances encountered.
Insurance
Designers hold Professional Indemnity cover of £1million
Estimating
Our Estimating Department utilises a recognised scaffold
estimating software package for producing estimates. We have a full
design and calculation input into all contracts, but we invariably
do not commit to design prior to an order being placed. Cost
savings are achieved by designing out problems spotted early and
detailed design is included to show exactly what would be included
in the trade contractor's packages.
Modular
Construction
Tilson Scaffolding Ltd utilise the sliding transom to meet the
challenge of fast track modular construction projects. The sliding
transom and Tilson’s methodology offers the ability to:
• erect a full height braceless scaffold; and
• make rapid, safe and efficient alterations to the scaffolds.
The sliding transom allows many trades to work on the scaffold
with minimum number of alterations.
The sliding transom and double arm system

The adjustable transom is a board bearing component, utilised by
Tilson Scaffolding Ltd to significantly enhance the efficiency of
alterations.
The adjustable inside board bearer used with double arms allows
boards to be removed without altering the main body of the
scaffold. On sheeted scaffolds this greatly enhances the aesthetic
appearance, as it does not result in tubes poking through
sheeting.
