JDC interfaced well with MCLH from Pre-Construction stage right through to the present on an extremely difficult and logistically challenging project.

They were always on hand to attend site meetings to discuss issues and overcome obstacles which presented themselves in a historic dilapidated building. Their onsite Team has been a great asset to the job from the start, a hardworking, problem-solving team, which was well needed on a project of this scale.

JDC has demonstrated excellent standards of safety performance throughout their time on the COL Annexe project to date. On what is an extremely intricate site, they have designed, constructed and maintained complex scaffolding systems with H&S at the forefront.

I have found JDC to be very proactive in their approach to the safety of its workforce and others utilising their scaffolds on site. They have been cooperative throughout and able to provide innovative solutions for safe access to what are often restricted works areas.

Their designs allowed work to be carried out under a scaffold canopy that protected both the listed building and the operatives carrying out the restoration.

JDC have a wealth of experience and knowledge which puts them in good stead to generate solutions to design problems. They have an in-house design team and they partner with various engineering companies that provide the expertise in overcoming design hurdles.

West Smithfield has been particularly complicated with design loading constraints that have occasionally thrown up problems at site level requiring rapid response to design solutions to avoid project delays. JDC have been committed to overcoming these throughout.

JDC Designers and Management Team have interfaced well with the DBR and Clients Design Team throughout the project to develop a scaffold that delivers access to all the areas we required to carry out the required restoration and conservation works. JDC managed to develop a design that met DBR needs and minimised the need to carry out adaptions throughout the Construction Phase.

The works were carried out during the height of the Covid-19 Pandemic and JDC worked alongside PAYE to ensure that their SSOW adhered to current Government guidance at all times and that the site pedestrian traffic routes had adequate space to ensure Social Distancing could be observed whilst work was carried out.

The use of the HAKI tripod at low level ensured the smallest footprint of scaffolding possible to all of the retail units. This ensured that the client’s commercial tenants were able to continue trading almost unimpeded by the scaffolding configuration to their shopfronts.

JDC’s Team is their greatest asset and everyone has proved to be honest, hardworking, conscientious and personable since joining Project Pegasus. With a low turnover of operatives, many of them are now known to the SRM Team and on first name terms, they are approachable with a willingness to listen, help and provide solutions.

Project Pegasus is fortunate to have had a significant presence from JDC’s Senior Management Team, who are regularly on site to review progress, provide advice. explore options and implement solutions, despite how uncongenial they may be.
