Scaffolding contractor sets the standard for safety
Erecting Scaffolding is our speciality

Rapid Scaffolding was registered in 1976 with a 50% shareholding held by founder directors, Roy Russell and Malcolm Pipe. The company has had a close business relationship with major industry players such as Murray & Roberts Building, Murcoms, Rapp & Maister and A Gibbs. It was responsible for the supply, erection, access equipment and dismantling, though Murcoms, who were contracted to build the Superbowl at Sun City in the early 1980s.

Rapid Scaffolding was also responsible for the supply and erection of scaffolding at most of the Hyperama buildings in Gauteng. These contracts were managed by Murray & Roberts Building. Also responsible for rebuilding the Sappi Ngodwana Plant after a large explosion at the premises, the company was proud of its achievement as continuous 24-hour operation at this site was a prerequisite for the contract.

The company was also awarded the tender for maintenance scaffolding from AngloGold’s ERGO operations division, a contract which was in operation for over two decades.

Rapid Scaffolding expanded its operations in the Vaal Triangle some 25 years ago, to supply the former AECI and Iscor groups. It is currently engaged in a contract with Arcelor Mittal.
Although we are not currently tendered to do work on Sasol I, we have been fortunate that by having had a tender for some ten years, we have been able to design scaffolds to Sasol’s stringent requirements.

We are currently tendered to Arcelor Mittal and have formed a synergy on requirements from various plants in respect of urgency and performance on priority 1 and call out situations.
We are currently engaged doing work on both Samancor and the Letaba Power Stations Ash Plant. There operating also requires breakdown and emergency call outs.

The company has achieved a Three Star NOSA rating and is currently working towards an ISO 18001 certification.

The reason behind the company’s success is the positive attitude from management and its staff, in ensuring that the customer is always a top priority. Ongoing training is a major part of our company philosophy. With the wide experience and technical expertise in all aspects of scaffolding applications, as well as the reputable backup facilities of its branches, the company is confident that it can and does service its clients for any scaffolding specifications required, with a commitment towards quality, safety and economical service excellence.
