RNDV Industries Crowned ScaffChamp 2025 Champions

RNDV Industries from Lithuania have been named the winners of ScaffChamp 2025 following a flawless performance in front of a home crowd in Vilnius.

Competing in Round One, the Lithuanian team were among the first to complete the challenging scaffold structure. While referees issued a couple of warnings during the inspection, no official penalties were applied.

Their clean execution and fast, safe dismantling helped secure the top spot. “We’re proud to win it at home and even more proud of the standard we showed today,” a team member from RNDV told ScaffMag.

The team also collected the Health & Safety Award, recognising their methodical and disciplined approach throughout the build, earning them double honours at this year’s event.

A global contest of precision and pace

Held on Saturday, 7 June, in Vilnius, ScaffChamp 2025 brought together 20 teams from around the world to participate in one of the industry’s most demanding and respected competitions.

The event was powered by Layher’s world-renowned Allround Scaffolding System and co-organised by Layher Baltic and the Baltic Scaffolding Association with support from Layher Germany.

This year’s contest followed a two-round format, with 10 teams competing in each round. Every team was timed during the erection phase before referees scrutinised the scaffolding structure and applied any necessary penalties.

The global event drew a strong audience, with over 600 tickets sold and more than 10,000 viewers tuning in to the live stream from around the globe.

First woman competes at ScaffChamp

The 2025 edition also marked a historic moment for the competition. FTF Servicios, representing Chile, included the first woman to ever compete at ScaffChamp.

Her participation was widely welcomed and celebrated by fellow competitors and attendees. “It’s inspiring to see more diversity at ScaffChamp. This is a proud moment not just for Chile, but for the industry as a whole,” one spectator told ScaffMag.

A demanding structure

This year’s competition structure was unveiled to the teams for the first time during Friday’s technical briefing and was designed jointly by Layher Baltic and Layher Germany, digitally modelled with ScaffPlan. The brief was to push boundaries and force teams to rethink their habits.

“We wanted to surprise the teams,” said Martin Doelker from Layher Germany. “The lead designer from Layher Baltic and I had almost the same idea right away, it came together quickly. From the start, we knew we wanted a mix of parts that would challenge expectations.”

The build featured a technically demanding combination of components, including the Twix Beam, FW System, TG60 Shoring, and a staircase configuration.

The design challenged teams to work with mixed elements and required precision planning, team synchronisation, and technical accuracy throughout.
