ISS was contracted to fabricate
and a 6m mast extension and 7
instrument booms for an existing
met mast. This also required us to
lower the existing mast and relocate
it to another part of the country for
the install.
The new location had a high degree
of difficulty as due to it being at the
top of a large hill it only had 30m of flat sloping
ground, not enough to assemble a 66m mast.
The decision was then made to orientate the
mast over a small gully and across a ridge
between two rocky out crops. This meant that
the team had to support the mast where it
spanned the gully and the sections of the mast
that extended out past the ridge line. Using a
tractor we pulled all the mast components and
equipment to the work site. This was due to
the access track being too steep for a 4x4 and
trailer. Scaffolding was trailered in for the mast
supports.
An air compressor and winch was anchored
to the ground using rock anchors and the
booster pole and gin pole were set up. More
rock anchors were drilled and grouted in for
the guy wires. Lifting guy wire length were
calculated and installed on the mast and gin
pole. Once the lift wires and side support wires were installed
a 6m booster pole was used to lift the 18m gin pole. With the
winch rigged up to the gin pole the mast was lifted in stages
adjusting the side support wires as it lifted.

for scaffolders & riggers
Scaffolding and rigging is high-risk work - accidents, injury, theft and other
misfortune can strike at any time. That’s why it’s vital to have the right
insurance so you’re financially covered if things go wrong.
In conjunction with the Scaffolding, Access & Rigging Association of New
Zealand (SARNZ), we’ve developed Vertigo, an insurance package specifically
for SARNZ members. With a range of covers, Vertigo contains the important
insurances you need for your scaffolding and rigging business.

Reaching new heights of productivity
Builders have always faced huge workloads and tight deadlines. The building industry
is under more pressure now than ever and this doesn’t look set to change anytime
soon. With this increased and consistent pressure on construction, employers and
teams are looking for solutions to enhance efficiency while ensuring safety remains
paramount.
Workdek is a platform system that allows builders to work quickly, efficiently and
safely, at any height. The decking system is so sturdy, it’s like working on stable
ground. A simple but strong and robust platform system, Workdek was created for
builders by builders. Its strength is in its solid, modular construction system that can
be easily configured to work on any building site.
Counterproductive nets and safety hazards can now be a thing of the past. With
Workdek, this stable, modular platform allows builders to work twice as fast at
whatever height is needed. With the
capacity to hold 200 kilograms on
each deck, Workdek lets workers to
take their tools and machinery with
them as they go, contributing to
increased productivity.
Build better, faster and safer.
Workdek supplies modular, stable
work platforms to builders who need
to work effectively without hindrance
at any height. Preventing the fall is better than capturing the fall. Working on the
Workdek platform is as stable and fast as working on the ground. The added benefit is
significantly reduced stresses on the body and a happier work crew.
Twice as fast, at any height.
With Workdek, builders can work twice as fast as builders on sites that have inferior,
competing products. Teams can build with a sense of urgency without fear of falling.
Doubling building speed without doubling staff results in enhanced productivity, which
leads to increased profitability.
36 | THE SARNZ PLATFROM SPRING 2021Platform
Work anywhere, anytime, safely.
Because builders are on solid ground at any height with Workdek, they can find
their footing without thinking about it. This means that work can be completed at
speed without hassle, because the crew can walk anywhere and take their tools and
machinery with them.
Built for builders, by builders.
The people behind Workdek owned a building company and like other builders, have
experienced the frustrations of working with nets and inferior fall protection systems.
“Nets rarely stopped items falling through to lower levels and hurting our team,
causing all kinds of health and safety issues as well as building delays,” said David
from Workdek. “We wanted our teams to work at any height with the same speed
they would have when standing on firm
ground. We needed to eliminate costly
falls and improve safety for our teams.”
Other inferior, competitive systems either
don’t focus on preventing accidents on-
site and/or are limited in their features
to help builders to work more efficiently.
Thanks to Workdek, the industry now has
the ultimate tool to improve productivity,
agility, efficiency and safety.
Workdek lets builders build more properties because their productivity increases by at
least 50%. This becomes a huge asset in the environment of the Covid-19 construction
boom. Common feedback from builders who have used Workdek on their builds
include:
- “This is an absolute game changer!”
- “With Workdek, we’re now working twice as fast.”
- “We’re now more efficient and my team is guaranteed not to fall.”
It’s clear that adding Workdek to a builder’s toolkit really is a smart solution.
Rugged and reliable, and easy to install.
Workdek’s modular platforms are made from injection moulded panels that snap
together creating a stable work platform at any building height. The decks are
supported by a complete system that’s as easy to put together as playing with Lego.
THE SARNZ PLATFROM SPRING 2021 | 37Platform Workdek and Worksafe NZ are on the same page Worksafe NZ endorses Workdek’s view on the hierarchy of fall protection, which is that eliminating the fall is better than capturing the fall. Nets are outdated, unsafe and counterproductive. And Worksafe NZ has issued safety alerts over the use of nets. Workdek is the alternative, safer solution. Get Workdek working for you By working more efficiently and literally adding more builds to their schedule, builders can safely make more money with Workdek. Workdek is now being hired and sold to scaffolding companies, builders and large construction companies who quickly see what a powerful tool Workdek is for their teams. Get your hands on it then get your feet on it. There is a better way to build on all building site levels, quickly, safely and more profitably. Workdek allows builders to work faster and safer. It really is a no brainer. To learn more and get started with Workdek, visit www.workdek.com 38 | THE SARNZ PLATFROM SPRING 2021

Trade Careers – promoting
connection between employers and
women keen to get into the Trades
What? Skills has supported this
cross ITO project, funded by TEC.
Outputs
• Surveys of 2000 women and
1000 employers, focus groups
with women and employers
across the country, codesign
groups to see where we should
focus efforts in this short project plus built a website tradecareers.co to provide a
home for this material
• An online toolkit has been made for both women and employers including an online
video series. Filming has included 7 episodes and 11 case studies with employers
and female tradies
• Videos use humour (‘Dave’ the Tradie is a female comedian) and much of ‘his’
script is verbatim quotes from employers. Employing women is demystified with
tips on how to make this easy.
• 43 women were selected for a Career Reboot matchmaking event with 40
employers preparing them to connect with the trades
• Project handover end September.
