AT-PAC Australia supplied a comprehensive Ringlock scaffolding solution to support JVAT Industries in delivering a complex headstock refurbishment project at Hastings Port, Victoria, Australia.


Working in a challenging marine environment, the project required a fully engineered suspended scaffold system that provided safe access to every headstock and pile beneath the jetty. Designing a solution capable of performing in tidal conditions while withstanding harsh marine weather presented significant engineering and logistical challenges.


Parts of the scaffold system were required to operate below the waterline, demanding careful planning, innovative engineering and close collaboration between AT-PAC, Dre Designs and JVAT Industries. Through detailed design and technical expertise, the team delivered a solution that provided safe, reliable access while standing up to the demanding marine environment.


AT-PAC's versatile Ringlock system delivered the strength, adaptability and performance required for this highly specialised application, enabling JVAT Industries to deliver a critical access solution for refurbishment works with confidence.


This project demonstrates how engineered access solutions, backed by technical expertise and strong collaboration, can overcome even the most demanding industrial access challenges.
