Project Overview
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the NHS required a reliable, weather-proof structure to ensure the continuity of testing services. Milton Keynes Scaffolding Specialists were contracted to construct a temporary roof system over a designated testing site to protect staff and equipment from the elements.
The Challenge
- Time Sensitivity: The site needed to be operational quickly to meet urgent public health needs.
- Weather Protection: Providing a robust shelter to safeguard staff, equipment, and patients from adverse weather.
- Safety Compliance: Ensuring all work was carried out safely and efficiently in line with strict site protocols.
Our Solution
Design and Planning
We developed a temporary roof solution using a combination of tube and fitting and Layher scaffolding systems. The design incorporated:
- A sturdy framework with weather-proof sheeting.
- Secure platforms for easy access and operational efficiency.
- Multiple access points for NHS staff and equipment.
Construction and Installation
- Speed and Precision: The structure was erected within a short timeframe to ensure the testing centre could operate as scheduled.

- Reliability: The combination of Layher and tube and fitting ensured a strong, adaptable structure.
Outcome
- A fully enclosed, weather-proof facility that enabled uninterrupted testing operations.
- The project was completed on time and to the client’s satisfaction, meeting all safety and operational requirements.
Key Highlights
- Materials Used: Combination of Layher scaffolding and tube and fitting, along with weather-proof sheeting.
