J Gunn Scaffolding worked with Colt Construction, who are in partnership with Network Rail, on new major roof repairs to the Grade 2 listed building at Filey Train Station.

J Gunn Scaffolding erected fully designed independent scaffolding to the full perimeter of the train station. It also had to bridge over the rail tracks at both sides of the building for roof repairs.

A 1800m2 scaffold crash deck was also built with design from RV Engineering, The crash deck was designed by bolting the scaffolding to the walls with very minimal scaffold on the platform due to the platform size. Shear and pull tests were done to demonstrate the weight calculations could hold the scaffolding crash deck.

The scaffolding has a 60-minute fire rating with mechanical ventilation and natural ventilation for train exhausts.

The station remained open at all times during the erection of the scaffolding. The project has been designed to avoid any disruption to the public, allow safe operation of trains, and retain access and egress to the station including maintaining Fire Escapes at all times.
