NSS Special Access is a global leader in innovative special access scaffolding systems, with 50 years of experience across all industrial sectors. Their solutions are frequently chosen for prestigious, complex, and challenging projects where originality of design, economy, and speed of erection are highly valued. They have a proven track record as an approved supplier to railway, military, industrial, and government facilities, where health, safety, and commercial sensitivity are paramount.
The company works closely with clients from the initial design phase through to installation, offering tailor-made scaffold systems and services. Their process involves engineering a solution, preliminary design, and often erecting a test rig for client evaluation. Structural aluminium forms the core of their systems, with adaptive components manufactured in-house.
NSS is committed to efficiency and workplace safety, operating to high standards and employing experienced scaffolders managed by senior foremen and supervisors. All scaffolding is designed and erected to international standards, with worldwide operations. NSS offers unique shaped access systems for any project size, with spans up to 45 metres, fully enclosed sheeted systems, and tracked or mobile towers and platforms.
Their lightweight aluminium systems are significantly faster to erect than traditional scaffolding, offering clients savings of up to 20%. They also design and erect temporary buildings for any usage, hire period, or sale, providing secure, weatherproof structures with spans up to 42m. Additionally, NSS provides structural steel design, manufacturing, and erection, as well as wall and roof cladding and sheeting, and building and civil engineering works.
