Latest projects we worked on

Our approach to Safety & Quality has proven to be the main focus of our success. Here are a few projects we’ve worked on.

Trussout scaffold – Odycy hotel Malta

Odycy hotel - Qawra Malta
2021-10-12

Makaw Scaffolding was approached to provide a cantilevered solution for a challenging project involving the scaffolding enclosure of a hotel perimeter during the construction of additional storeys. Our team efficiently deployed over 450 running meters of trussed-out scaffold, supported by 380 750mm X beams. This extensive setup facilitated the safe and certified installation of over 7,000m2 of overlying Layher allround scaffolding, adjusted gradually to align with construction progress and concurrent finishing tasks. Makaw Scaffolding's precise execution and strategic planning ensured the seamless completion of this complex project, showcasing our proficiency in delivering effective solutions for intricate construction requirements.

Plaza shopping centre – suspended scaffolding platform

2023-09-04

This suspended scaffolding platform covering a footprint of 300m2 was engineered and certified for safe access over one of Malta's busiest shopping centre's atrium, facilitating the replacement of the existing roof structure by third-party contractors. The suspended structure was constructed by means of support structures constructed on either side of the atrium with scaffold lattice beams spanning a stretch of 15.00m in length in order to bridge the distance required safely over the underlying areas.
