11 Loch Fyne Court, Sorrento

Executive Summary

Alltrade Scaffolding delivered a high-capacity loading bay scaffold system for an upmarket residential construction project at 11 Loch Fyne Court, Sorrento. Designed to support heavy material transfer and multi-trade movement, the scaffold was engineered to meet a 10 kPa loading rating, with full compliance to AS/NZS 1576.

The installation featured multiple platform zones, internal ladder access, and strategically placed bays to serve both the main roof line and façade works. By incorporating vertical and horizontal integration with the existing scaffold, Alltrade provided a safe, efficient, and fully certified loading solution that kept trades on schedule without compromising safety.

‍

Situation

The project involved construction of a large-scale, architecturally designed home in Sorrento requiring elevated access for roofing, façade treatment, and material handling. As part of the scope, the builder needed a dedicated scaffold loading bay capable of supporting a heavy-duty load rating of 10 kPa, above standard residential load capacity.

The scaffold needed to integrate with existing access structures already on site, while providing stable loading zones for timber, tools, and roof materials. With multiple trades working in sequence, timing and staging were critical.

‍

Challenge

• Deliver a high-load scaffold platform to safely support 10 kPa material transfers at height.
• Integrate the loading bay with the existing scaffold footprint, ensuring uninterrupted workflow.
• Scaffold needed to service multiple access points with safe in-and-out movement for workers and equipment.
• Limited staging space along the site boundary required compact yet structurally sound platform configurations.
• Ensure vertical access using ladders and handrails that maintained full WHS and AS/NZS compliance.

‍

Solution

Alltrade Scaffolding designed a modular K‑Stage scaffold system tailored to the site’s geometry and load demands. The solution included:

• 2.4 m × 2.4 m loading bay platform built with a 10 kPa rating
• Main platform height: 2.4 m from ground level
• Integrated roof handrail system with 4-pin configuration for safety
• Access designed as 3 + 2 m in & out bays to maximise flow of materials and workers
• 2.4 m × 0.7 m internal ladders placed at multiple locations for vertical movement
• 10 x 2.4 m lappers (opposite direction) for lateral brace stability
• Existing scaffold interface maintained without needing full rebuild or rework

The scaffold was installed by our licensed and WHS-trained crew, with site sign-off following final safety checks and documentation.

Results

• Scaffold loading bay installed safely and on time
• Achieved required 10 kPa load capacity, allowing for efficient delivery and storage of materials at roof level
• Maintained full integration with existing scaffold system to avoid disruptions
• Zero safety incidents, with full compliance to AS/NZS 1576 and WHS regulations
• Supported multiple trades simultaneously, helping the project stay on schedule during critical phases

Why This Approach Worked

The use of a modular K‑Stage system, combined with engineered lapper integration and certified heavy-duty platform design, meant Alltrade could deliver both strength and flexibility. By using standardised ladder access bays and multi-bay in/out configurations, the scaffold supported fast movement of people and materials, without overloading any single zone. With minimal disruption to the existing scaffold layout, our team provided a high-performance access solution tailored to complex construction staging.
