Special Materials

ISL does not restrict itself to scaffolding using tube and fitting, or system scaffold materials. Where standard scaffolding solutions are not practical, we will liase with our clients to create bespoke temporary works by combining different types of other materials, including formwork soldiers and fabricated steelwork.
