FROM THE GROUND UP<br />

Scafpro stands out for safety<br />

There’s only one place to go to that<br />

provides the full package for safety across<br />

residential and commercial projects around<br />

<strong>Waikato</strong>, and that's with Scafpro.<br />

Scafpro Ltd stands out<br />

from the rest by providing<br />

clients all three areas<br />

of safety expertise: scaffolding<br />

- utilising the latest Ringlock<br />

systems - safety nets and temporary<br />

fencing requirements.<br />

They provide a range of safe<br />

and reliable scaffolding for hire<br />

on residential and commercial<br />

buildings, have qualified<br />

installers who provide a range<br />

of different sized safety nets<br />

and can keep your workplace<br />

safe around the clock with tem-<br />

porary construction site fencing<br />

panels. Temporary fencing can<br />

also include swimming pools<br />

under construction, demolition<br />

sites, landscaping and property<br />

development, and temporary<br />

boundary fencing.<br />

The company began three<br />

years ago in Te Awamutu.<br />

<strong>Business</strong> was booming, and in<br />

that small amount of time they<br />

have grown from three workers<br />

to a team of twelve.<br />

In November last year, to<br />

keep up with demand they relocated<br />

to a bigger site at Titanium<br />

Park, near Hamilton Airport.<br />

The new location is closer<br />

to the main highways, proving<br />

beneficial in saving crucial time<br />

on travelling to their clients in<br />

the wider <strong>Waikato</strong> region.<br />

“<strong>Business</strong> has been going<br />

non-stop and growing since we<br />

started,” Scafpro director Karl<br />

Morrow said. “Our team has<br />

been working extremely hard<br />

to provide and facilitate for a<br />

range of single and multilevel<br />

builds for commercial and residential<br />

projects.”<br />

Morrow said their main<br />

goal is to keep maintaining<br />

their professional service,<br />

doing their jobs well and continuing<br />

to do better. But most<br />

importantly, it is about being<br />

safe and promoting safety in<br />

the workplace.<br />

“Safety is paramount in this<br />

industry, safety pays the bills,<br />

so treat it with respect,” Morrow<br />

said. “It is not only about<br />

people paying us to keep them<br />

safe, but keeping our own guys<br />

safe as well."<br />

The new addition of a Hiab<br />

hire crane has made deliveries<br />

and picking up scaffolding<br />

more efficient. Morrow said<br />

upgrading the work vehicles<br />

lifts the positive professional<br />

look. The company is also<br />

looking into more hire equipment,<br />

such as scissor lifts.<br />

Current projects keeping<br />

them busy are the new Summerset<br />

retirement villages in<br />

Rototuna, Hamilton, and the<br />

Chatsfield subdivision in Te<br />

Awamutu. They have recently<br />

worked on a range of construction<br />

projects in Hamilton,<br />

Cambridge, and Te Awamutu.<br />
