Eddington Development Scaffolding Project

Eddington Development Scaffolding Project

Altrad Generation's Northampton branch have recently partnered with a valued client on the supply of scaffolding equipment for the £116 million Eddington Development project in Cambridge.

Products and Project Overview

Products and Project Overview

Our Northampton branch supplied over 700 tons of scaffolding equipment for the £116 million Eddington Development project in Cambridge, a mixed development of timber framed housing and associated facilities.

Half a million foot of scaffold tube was supplied in conjunction with 5 and 4 Board Readylok, XT Intermediate Transoms and XT 2+1 Hop-up brackets which helped to systemise the tube and fitting and reduce the build time of the scaffold as this was a time critical project

The Eddington Development, a collaboration with the University of Cambridge, aims to construct 373 homes in north-west Cambridge. This project is part of a larger North-West Cambridge masterplan, which will eventually include 3,000 homes, 2,000 student beds, substantial employment space, and retail areas by 2030.

Beyond housing, the development will feature various communal facilities, including a pavilion, gym, yoga studio, private dining room, bike cafe, games room, cinema, and co-working space.

Challenges and solutions

Challenges and solutions

The primary challenge of this project lay in its scale and simultaneous construction approach. Unlike typical phased developments, the entire Eddington project was to be built concurrently. This presented Globe Scaffolding (Cambridge) Ltd with the task of sourcing and managing an unusually large quantity of scaffolding equipment all at once.

By using our extensive range of scaffolding products, Globe Scaffolding (Cambridge) Ltd successfully addressed the project's unique challenges.

Backed by a testimonial from our customer this project highlights Altrad Generation's capability to support large-scale, complex construction projects with substantial scaffolding needs:

"We started on site March 2024 and Generation Northampton have been faultless with their delivery of material."
