NSG Spends £500k On New System Scaffold

UK scaffold and industrial services company NSG UK has invested £500,000 in new Altrad scaffolding. 

The Altrad Plettac Contur System scaffold, will replace all of NSG UK’s old system scaffolding stock.

Mike Carr, NSG UK managing director, said: “This is the most modern system scaffolding available on the market and we are now one of only three firms in the UK to be using it. It is a big investment for us but we believe that this demonstrates our commitment and desire to build a reputation as the best scaffolding provider in the UK.

“This also rationalises all of our stock, the Contur scaffolding is even more flexible and secure, allowing us to design better bespoke systems for our clients, whatever the size or shape of the building or facility.”

“We are still able to design and erect ‘tube and fitting’ scaffolding where it is needed but the larger projects – particularly working at greater heights – are better suited to system scaffolding.”

NSG was acquired by Montpelier France, based scaffold producer Altrad last June.
