OUR FEATURED PROJECTS
TESTIMONIALS
After participating in the Greenfields construction phase, SMS were selected as the principle maintenance/ operations scaffolding contractor for the BHP Ravensthorpe mine-site.
They assisted in establishing site procedures, day to day scaffolding priority planning requirements and more complex shutdown activities, which included total management of individual projects.
This was the first of two major projects that I worked with SMS and experienced their professional attitude towards new and complex issues.

I would like to extend my thanks to all your people who worked on Crane 7 on Monday and Tuesday.
I understand conditions were less than ideal with the service crane being out of action and the weather closing in yesterday. This coupled with a tight time frame meant that the cooperation between the maintenance crew and your boys was essential.
Please pass on my thanks on to all involved, it was appreciated.

The organisers of the Perth Night Jump (PNJ) would like to thank you for being a Product Sponsor for the above event over the last three years. SMS contribution helped promote Perth to a worldwide audience who speak highly of the event and it is considered a template for other cities to use.
Working with Brad and his onsite scaffolders was an experience that others in the building industry could learn from and adapt. Obstacles were easily overcome, and we were able to agree on a working time frame that was suitable for all. The working platforms for media and TV cameras were commented on by visiting members of the IWWF as being the best they had seen in our sport.
The venue owners were very appreciative that the promised dismantling and removal of equipment off site was completed as scheduled, as they have had experiences in the past of being let down. The PNJ organisers look forward to working with SMS in the future.

Over the course of more than 12 months, SMS was employed for all scaffolding works at our workshop facility in Henderson. The scope of works was to erect and dismantle safe scaffold for our civil works (pre-cast) and our mechanical works. SMS also was employed to undertake scaffolding works on the NAAN3 Expansion Project, CSBP site in Kwinana. The task here was to erect and dismantle safe scaffold, especially for the insulation trade. It is a pleasure for me to thank Mark and the team for the works which they performed:
- In a safe manner without any LTI and all the time in accordance with the safety requirements
- Responding in an effective manner to the needs and requirements of our works in civil and mechanical
- Utilising the gear efficiently, and
- Performing the works in a productive manner
If there is a need, I will be ready to give reference any time.

I would like to take this opportunity to pass on our appreciation to you and your team for all the takes undertaken during the recent Crusher Shut Outage. All planned tasks undertaken were done in a timely and safe manner with extra tasks prioritised and completed as well.
Without the effort of these men this would not have been achieved, as nothing was too hard or too much trouble. Well done and thanks, I look forward to the opportunity to work together again.

I have to say that the work conducted by SMS Scaffolding on the lithium plant, Kwinana, has been of a consistently high standard. The blokes have always been approachable and although it must be a pain at times to move a tube here and there, they have done it pretty much immediately with no grumbles.
I want to commend the all the fellas on behalf of Stella. Their work ethic has been exemplary and whilst being safe, the scaffolds are handed over quickly and neatly. They are definitely some of the best I have worked with.
Although I’m sure they are all good, the men I have worked with are, Gerry Byrne, Craig Lang, Julian Mitchell and Ryan Plaziuk.
They are a credit to your company.

The Southern Port Authority, Esperance, had a corrosion control issue on an iron pre-conveyor gallery which fed the Berth 3 ship loader. There were many constraints to this task, such as gallery load weights, access, and time restraints. I contacted SMS and worked through the issues. Mark and the team engineered a safe and cost-effective solution which included the use of an aluminium type scaffold. Prior to site mobilisation, the SMS team engineered and trialled the scaffold installation in Perth, ensuring all issues were dealt with in a controlled manner. Consequently, the shutdown was a success with all tasks completed safely.
Throughout all my dealings with SMS, I have always found that they place a high priority on safety and customer service, with all issues dealt with in an honest, open, and timely manner. I have no issue recommending this company for projects and hope to use them myself again in the future.
