Scaffolding near the coast? There’s no room for guesswork.

From wind loads to salt air corrosion and unpredictable terrain, Cape Town’s coastline challenges every part of a scaffold build. At Alpine, we don’t just drop a standard system and hope for the best - we design scaffold solutions that work with the environment, not against it.

Cape Town’s construction sector is accelerating, but site access is still slowing too many projects down.

We see it often - temporary staircases installed too late, gantries added under pressure, and loading decks that don’t match the structural plan. These aren’t minor hiccups. They delay programmes, create safety risks, and push costs up.

At Alpine, we approach access differently. Every staircase, gantry, and loading deck is engineered to support the build from day one. Designed to spec. Installed fast. Signed off by the right people.

Scaffolding in hospitals and schools demands more than strength and speed. It requires careful planning to protect people who have nothing to do with the project — patients, staff, students, and the public.

Alpine Scaffolding designs access that preserves movement, protects essential services, and keeps noise, dust, and disruption under control. Our crews are trained for sensitive environments, with daily inspections logged to SANS 10085 standards.

If scaffolding is down, the job is down. Daily inspections aren’t bureaucracy — they’re how you keep people safe, sites compliant, and programmes moving.

Alpine Scaffolding builds inspections into every project. We follow SANS 10085 and OHSACT requirements: before every shift, after weather or modifications, and logged daily. Our process catches issues early, prevents shutdowns, and makes audits simple.

Concrete doesn’t forgive weak formwork. When shutters aren’t engineered for the load, failures lead to stoppages, insurance claims, and sometimes full rebuilds.

Alpine Scaffolding designs and delivers engineered formwork systems built for Cape Town’s conditions — accounting for wind, soil variability, access, and pour sequencing. Every system is designed, checked, and signed off by professionals before the pour starts.

SCAFFOLDING BUILT RIGHT!

We're proud to share Alpine's recent Layher system scaffold installation in Cape Town — designed and erected the right way, for the right reasons: to protect workers, the public, and our clients’ projects.

Below is how this approach aligns with the SANS 10085 Scaffolding Code, the Construction Regulations, the OHS Act, and our moral obligation to build safely.

What's important in the design and installation of scaffolding?

- Competent design
- Foundations and base stability
- Ties and bracing for rigidity
- Safe working platforms
- Access and egress
- Edge protection and public protection
- Materials and component integrity
- Inspections and handover

What do we need to comply with in order to align with the various South African scaffolding regulations?

- SANS 10085 (Access, working scaffolds):
- SA Construction Regulations:
- Occupational Health and Safety Act:

But what about the moral obligation? Why “LEGAL” is the floor, not the ceiling?

People over program: Every board and brace
protects someone’s life, not just a schedule!
-Public trust: Scaffolds often span pavements,
storefronts, and busy streets.
-The public never chose the risk — we owe
them layers of protection.

-Professional integrity: Cutting corners is not a
cost-saving; it’s a transfer of risk to workers
and bystanders. Ethical practice means
building as if your family will be walking under
it.

-Social licence to operate: Safe scaffolding
sustains reputations, communities, and the
industry’s credibility.

If you’re a client, demand safe, compliant scaffolds.

If you’re a scaffolder, deliver safe, compliant scaffolds.

If you’re a worker or member of the public, you deserve safe, compliant scaffolds.

Factories and warehouses can’t afford downtime when maintenance takes place. Scaffolding needs to protect workers while keeping production lines moving.

Alpine Scaffolding designs engineered access systems that fit around live equipment, maintain safe routes, and pass compliance checks without disrupting operations. From breweries to processing plants, our solutions have kept projects safe and productive across the Western Cape.

Construction in Cape Town doesn’t stop daily life. Offices, retail centres, and streets stay active while projects rise around them. Public protection scaffolding keeps people safe without slowing progress.

Alpine Scaffolding designs and delivers engineered gantries, protection fans, and temporary staircases that manage pedestrian flow, catch debris, and satisfy compliance standards.

High-rise construction in Cape Town leaves no room for piecemeal scaffolding. Mixed components and worn stock create safety risks, inspection failures, and programme delays.

Alpine Scaffolding delivers system scaffolds – Kwikstage and Layher – designed for stability, load capacity, and speed of er****on. Our portfolio includes 16 on Bree, Merriman Square, Portside, and other landmark projects where programme certainty and compliance were critical.

Scaffolding hire might look interchangeable on paper, but the differences show up in rework, failed audits, and hidden costs.

Alpine Scaffolding has built a procurement checklist that helps QSs and buyers separate reliable suppliers from risky ones. From engineer-signed designs and certified inspections to galvanised systems and proven track records, these are the details that protect projects from downtime and penalties.

Events and film productions push tight schedules and carry high visibility. The scaffolding behind stages, towers, and viewing decks must perform under the same standards as permanent works.

Alpine Scaffolding designs, engineers, and certifies temporary structures that pass audits, support live loads, and keep crews moving on deadline. From Cape Town Cycle Tour staging to international film sets, our scaffolds have stood up under scrutiny.

WRITING OUR OWN STORY

4.5 years in, and our story is written in grit, determination, and staying true to our values. Since Alpine Scaffolding began, we’ve shown up every day with a single focus: be better today than we were yesterday. It’s this hyperfocus on continuous improvement—in safety, agility, and service—that has shaped our success.

Grit has carried us through delays, tight deadlines, and complex projects. We’ve stayed steady, leaning into hard work and learning from every challenge to deliver safe, high-quality scaffolding you can rely on.

Determination has kept us moving forward: facing tough challenges, turning bold goals into concrete outcomes, keeping safety at the center, and celebrating progress—no matter how small—along the way.

Staying true to our values has been our north star. Safety first, integrity in every conversation, excellence in every detail, and a team-first culture that empowers people to grow and succeed together.

The result? Trust built with clients and partners, reliability you can count on, and a community that believes in doing the right thing, the right way, every day.

To our amazing team, clients, and communities: thank you for helping us stay true to who we are. The best is yet to come!
