Contact Our Engineers →Designspool Limited is a specialist scaffold design engineering company dedicated to delivering safe, innovative, and cost-effective temporary works solutions across the world's most demanding industrial environments.
Our team of highly skilled engineers combines deep technical knowledge with practical field experience to develop scaffolding solutions that are structurally sound, compliant with global standards, and tailored to each project's unique requirements.
We serve clients across oil & gas, petrochemical, construction, power & energy, offshore & marine, and infrastructure sectors — bringing the same unwavering commitment to safety and precision to every engagement.
At Designspool Limited, safety, precision, and engineering excellence are at the core of every design we produce.
We combine analytical engineering talent with hands-on site knowledge to develop solutions that are both safe and practically buildable.
Safety is at the heart of every engineering decision we make. Our designs incorporate strict compliance with international standards, load path verification, and risk elimination at source through engineering controls.
We maintain a zero incident philosophy driven by engineering precision and proactive hazard identification across every project, regardless of scale or complexity.
From concept to construction, our engineering team covers every stage of scaffold design, analysis, and site support.
Designspool delivers complete scaffold design packages for the full spectrum of scaffold types used in industrial and construction environments. Our designs are engineered from first principles, backed by rigorous structural calculations and fully compliant with BS EN 12811 and relevant NASC guidance.
We produce comprehensive design reports including calculations, load plans, and safety notes — providing contractors and clients with everything needed for construction, inspection, and regulatory approval.
Our BIM and 3D modelling capability allows us to develop fully coordinated scaffold designs that integrate seamlessly with digital construction workflows. Working in Revit and Navisworks, we produce accurate 3D scaffold models used for clash detection, construction sequencing, and visualisation.
3D modelling significantly reduces on-site errors and supports more efficient planning, particularly on complex industrial and petrochemical facilities where space is critical.
Beyond scaffold, our temporary works design service covers the full range of supporting structures required during construction. We design shoring and propping systems, work platforms, access and egress solutions, and formwork support structures — all engineered to the same standard as our primary scaffold work.
Using STAAD, Robot Structural Analysis, and Scaffold Designer, we carry out detailed structural and load analysis for scaffold systems of all complexities. Our analysis covers wind loading, point loads, UDL, and global load assessment, with full verification of scaffold stability and deflection performance against limits.
Our consultancy service extends the value of our engineering team directly to your site. We produce method statements and risk assessments, provide on-site technical supervision, carry out scaffold inspections, and verify design compliance throughout the construction phase.
This service is particularly valued on complex industrial shutdowns and large-scale projects where ongoing engineering input is essential to safe and efficient delivery.
Our engineers are ready to provide a tailored scaffold design solution for your requirements.

From upstream production facilities to downstream refinery units, we design scaffold access systems for the most complex oil and gas environments. Our engineers understand the critical safety and operational requirements unique to this sector — ATEX zones, live plant, confined spaces, and extreme loadings.
Petrochemical plants demand precision scaffold designs capable of navigating dense pipe networks, overhead obstructions, and hazardous material zones. We have extensive experience designing access scaffolds for planned and emergency turnaround activities.
We design scaffold systems for the full range of construction and civil engineering projects — from high-rise building facades to infrastructure maintenance. Our BIM-integrated approach improves coordination and reduces construction programme risk.
Power generation facilities require highly engineered scaffold solutions for maintenance access to turbines, boilers, cooling towers, and electrical infrastructure. We work across conventional and renewable energy sectors.
Offshore and marine environments impose extreme environmental loading conditions on scaffold structures. Our designs account for wave action, wind exposure, deck loadings, and marine-grade material requirements to ensure structural integrity in open-sea conditions.
