History
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.
In 2004, Rapid Scaffolding was restructured through a successful management buyout. Since then, the company has focused on streamlining its quality and safety systems, with a renewed emphasis on customer service.
Expansion
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 proud to have tendered to Arcelor Mittal for the past 20 years, and formed a synergy on requirements from various plants in respect of urgency and performance on priority 1 and call out situations.
In 2012 we were awarded the tender to supply and erect the scaffolding on the Billiton Samancor plant M14 project. This was successfully concluded in November 2013.
We have done work on both Samancor and the Letaba Power Stations Ash Plant. Their operating also required breakdown and emergency call outs.
