ALPINE EVENTS & SEATING are proud to be involved in the Kobus Wiese Super Series 2026!

Named after 1995 Rugby World Cup-winning Springbok lock Kobus Wiese — himself a Paarl Gim old boy — the Super Series brings together almost 50 schools from across the country for a multi-day showcase of South Africa's best schoolboy rugby talent.

With AfriForum as a headline sponsor and SuperSport broadcasting live, this is a tournament that demands world-class event infrastructure.

Alpine Events & Seating designed, supplied, and erected tiered grandstands with tip-up seating, as well as multi-level camera and broadcast towers — all engineered to strict safety standards and delivered on a tight turnaround to ensure the venue was match-ready.

South African schoolboy rugby is the foundation of the Springbok pipeline, and the Western Cape is its heartland.

Events like the Kobus Wiese Super Series are where future Springboks are forged — and we're proud to play our part in making them happen.

ALPINE EVENTS AND SEATING

An Iconic Cape Town event, built from the ground up!

Proud to have been part of the infrastructure team behind the 48th Cape Town Cycle Tour in March 2026 — the world's largest timed cycling event.

Alpine Scaffolding supplied and erected event scaffolding throughout the route, and spectator seating structures at the Green Point finish area, helping create a safe, world-class experience for the thousands of fans who lined the route to watch Ryan Gibbons sprint to a legendary maiden victory.

From grandstand seating to stage and broadcast platforms, it's the kind of work that most spectators never think about — but without it, the event doesn't happen. That's where we come in.

Events of this scale demand precision engineering, tight turnaround times, and zero margin for error. That's the standard we hold ourselves to, every single day.

ALPINE AT K-DAY 2026

Alpine was proud to be involved in this years K-Day event!

K-Day 2026 took place on Saturday, 28 March, at Sandringham Farm, Stellenbosch — running from dawn till dusk. Presented by Kfm, the event offered general access for families with picnic setups, a Chill Zone with a private bar and shaded seating, and a Meerendal Experience including estate dining options.

One of the Western Cape's biggest annual outdoor music events, K-Day brings together thousands of Capetonians for a full day of live local music, food trucks, brand activations, and good vibes in the Winelands.

Event scaffolding doesn’t give you room for error.

Tight deadlines, complex layouts, public safety - everything hits at once. The system you choose either keeps the job moving or slows it down.

That’s why modular systems like Layher are taking over.

Faster to erect. Structurally consistent. Built to handle real-world site pressure — especially in Cape Town’s coastal conditions.

We break down exactly why traditional scaffolding is falling behind, and what modern event builds actually demand: https://alpinescaffolding.co.za/why-layher-modular-systems-set-standard-event-structures/

ALPINE SCAFFOLDING AT ST MARY'S CATHEDRAL

​Alpine is proud to have provided the access acaffolding for the recent works at the historic Saint Mary’s Cathedral in Cape Town.

​Working on such a landmark requires a solution that is both incredibly safe and technically precise. By utilizing our Layher Allround system, we were able to provide the versatility needed to navigate the unique architecture of this iconic site while ensuring maximum safety and efficiency for all contractors on-site.

​It’s a privilege to contribute to the maintenance of Cape Town’s heritage. Great work by the team on another successful project!

ALPINE EVENTS & SEATING

​We are incredibly proud to introduce the newest addition to our inventory at Alpine Scaffolding: our brand-new Layher Seating System!

​As the latest extension of our world-class Layher Event System, this modular grandstand seating allows us to provide safe, comfortable, and premium viewing experiences for spectators at events of any scale.

​We recently rolled out this fantastic new system for the iconic Cape Town Cycle Tour, providing fans with the perfect vantage point to cheer on the riders. Now, our team is right back at it, setting up these versatile stands for the spectacular upcoming Cape Town Carnival!

​A huge shoutout to the Alpine team for their hard work and flawless ex*****on on these builds. It's great to see our event infrastructure supporting the best of what Cape Town has to offer.

​Check out some of the photos of the setup!

When people attend at event, they rarely think about the engineering beneath the stands.

But temporary stands are serious structures.

They must safely support dozens (or even hundreds) of people, account for crowd movement, and remain stable under changing loads and weather conditions.

In our latest article, we unpack how these structures are actually engineered — from crowd load calculations and dynamic movement to structural bracing, anchoring, and the role of modular scaffold systems like Layher.

For event organisers and project teams, understanding these fundamentals is a must-do. Because when temporary structures are designed properly, safety is built in from the start.

Petrochemical plants don’t allow for mistakes.

Between volatile gases, corrosive vapours, coastal conditions, and live operations, scaffolding on these sites has to do more than provide access. It must reduce fire risk, resist corrosion, and stay stable through time-critical shutdowns.

In our latest blog, we unpack how galvanised Layher systems, engineered load calculations, compliant inspection routines, and shutdown-focused planning protect both people and production.

If you’re planning maintenance at a refinery, brewery, or industrial facility in the Western Cape, this is essential reading.

Cape Town’s coastline isn’t forgiving. Salt-heavy air corrodes steel. Winds put lateral pressure on tall structures. Sloped sites make stability a real engineering challenge.

Scaffolding in these conditions can’t be standard issue.

In our latest blog, we break down how engineered wind-load calculations, galvanised systems, compliant tie patterns, and properly founded base solutions make the difference between a scaffold that survives the programme — and one that causes delays, audit failures, and façade damage.

If you’re building along the Atlantic Seaboard, Southern Peninsula, or foreshore, this is worth reading.

When you’re building for a festival or film set, there’s no room for uncertainty.

Stages, camera towers, viewing decks and access staircases all need to go up fast — and they need to carry real loads, real crowds, and real scrutiny from inspectors.

At Alpine Scaffolding, we engineer temporary event structures to the same SANS 10085 and OHSACT standards we apply on construction and industrial sites. That means calculated live loads, wind considerations, signed designs, and formal handovers on every structure.

From the Cape Town Cycle Tour to major music festivals and broadcast setups, our scaffolding has supported lighting rigs, production crews, performers and public audiences across the city.

Temporary doesn’t mean basic. It means engineered properly, erected efficiently, and signed off without drama.

If you’re planning an event or production in Cape Town and need reliable scaffold support behind the scenes, speak to our team.

We’ve worked on enough projects to see where scaffolding tenders go wrong.

It’s rarely the tubes and boards.

It’s the documentation, inspections, equipment condition, and scope clarity.

In our latest article, we share the procurement checklist we believe every QS should use.
