Precision, Performance, and 92 Tonnes of Layher Gear.
The Sudima Hotel in Kaikōura presented a demanding scaffolding challenge – remote location, coastal weather, and a two-year timeline impacted by COVID-19. Elliott Scaffolding needed a solution that delivered strength, flexibility, and efficiency across every phase of construction.
Modular Strength Meets Coastal Conditions
To meet the challenge, Elliott Scaffolding chose the Layher Allround Lightweight system, deploying over 92 tonnes of gear across external and internal scaffolds – reaching 12m high, running 250m around the building, and fully encapsulating the façade for uninterrupted work through winter.
For Elliott Scaffolding, Layher’s lightweight components meant faster handling, reduced freight costs, and easier on-site movement – especially important in a costal location like Kaikōura. The modular design allowed for quick adjustments as the build evolved, saving time and improving crew productivity.
For their client, the result was a safer, more efficient work environment, minimal downtime during seasonal challenges, and a scaffold solution that adapted to every phase of construction – helping keep the project on track and on budget.
Supported by Layher’s local design team, Elliott Scaffolding delivered a professional, future-proof scaffolding solution – backed by precision-engineered gear, built to perform.
