Adelaide High School Redevelopment

Meeting the Challenges of Complex Construction

When Adelaide High commenced construction on a new four-story building, BADGE Constructions relied on Pinnacle.

As a job based on school grounds, safety was paramount. But for project success, BADGE Constructions also needed to ensure audits were met, timing was considered at every step, and communication was open.

Safely engineered scaffolding

A complex project requiring full-perimeter scaffolding, we worked closely with the site manager to design a safe and effective solution. With frequent audits from DIPTI, BADGE Constructions were confident that Pinnacle’s superior designs and workflows would never fail the test.

To ensure the safety of workers, students, teachers, and the public, we went the extra mile when implementing safety features. This included:

Mesh wrappings to reduce risk from dropped objects
Fully encapsulated boundaries
Shade-clothed for wind protection

Streamlining the process through adaptability

Working on a school site brought logistical issues that could easily impact construction. To mitigate risk and streamline construction, we:

Implemented exclusion zones
Coordinated delivery and installation times around school
requirements
Accommodated changes required by other subcontractors
Designed solutions for efficiency when adding to hoist

“From the moment I pick up the phone, Pinnacle Scaffolding are always obliging to what I need. They work within a good timeframe, squeezing out the work when we need it the most. Safety wise, nothing is too hard for them. Their punctuality and response time keeps jobs moving safely, in sequence, and on program.”

“Communication and coordination are very important to us. Pinnacle are always available to discuss things and really easy to negotiate with. Sometimes things change on the run, and Pinnacle accommodates these on the fly. They make my life easy.”
