In preparation for another major Network Rail Station roof with repairs to the Grade 2 listed building at Filey Train Station, J Gunn Scaffolding are working with Colt Construction who are in partnership with Network Rail on the new works.

J Gunn Scaffolding erected a fully designed independent scaffolding to the full perimeter of the Train Station that also had to bridge over the rail tracks at both sides of the building for roof repairs.

A 1800m2 scaffold crash deck was also build with design from RV Engineering, The crash deck was designed by bolting the scaffolding to the walls with very minimal scaffolding on the platform due to the platform size. Shear and pull tests where done to demonstrate the weight calculations could hold the scaffolding crash deck.

The scaffolding has a 60-minute fire rating with mechanical ventilation and natural ventilation for train exhausts requiring complex fire modelling system.

The station remained open at all times during the erection of the scaffolding and has been designed to avoid any disruption to the public, safe operation of trains and access and egress to the station including maintaining Fire Escapes at all times.
