01 / PROJECT OVERVIEW

THE PROJECT

KGK Scaffolding was entrusted with delivering an extensive scaffolding, edge-protection and temporary-access package at Project Redkite, a major hyperscale data-centre development in Slough.

Forming part of Slough’s established data-centre cluster, Project Redkite represents the type of large-scale, mission-critical digital infrastructure increasingly essential to the UK’s technology sector. Projects of this nature are characterised by demanding construction programmes, extensive building services and significant coordination between specialist contractors.

KGK provided access solutions supporting multiple disciplines across the development, including steelwork, roofing, cladding, concrete and M&E activities, requiring the scaffolding package to continually respond to changing construction sequences and site requirements.

The works incorporated extensive edge-protection systems, HAKI stair access, scaffold access towers, temporary staircases and platforms, loading arrangements, exclusion zones, lifting gates and bespoke protection solutions across the project.

With construction progressing across numerous work fronts simultaneously, ongoing scaffold alterations and adaptations formed a significant part of the package, ensuring access arrangements continued to support the evolving requirements of the wider programme.

Delivering within such a large-scale and technically demanding data-centre environment required detailed coordination, flexibility and responsive temporary-works planning throughout, demonstrating KGK’s capability to support complex mission-critical construction projects.

03 / REQUIREMENTS & CHALLENGES

Project Redkite presented a fast-moving and continually evolving access requirement, with multiple specialist trades operating across different areas of the development simultaneously.

KGK was required to coordinate scaffold access supporting steelwork, roofing, cladding, concrete and M&E installations, with access requirements changing as different stages of construction progressed.

Extensive edge protection, HAKI stair systems, loading platforms, access towers and temporary staircases had to be carefully integrated with the wider construction programme. Bespoke edge-protection arrangements, lifting gates, exclusion zones and revised loading configurations were introduced where standard access arrangements were not suitable.

A major challenge was the need for continuous scaffold alterations and adaptations, allowing the temporary works to evolve alongside the structure while maintaining safe access for multiple trades and avoiding unnecessary disruption to programme-critical activities.

The scale and pace of the hyperscale development meant the scaffolding could not operate as a fixed installation; it had to function as a responsive temporary-access system capable of adapting to changing site conditions throughout the build.
