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 />
