BASE Industries, previously known as Scaffold Logistics, was established by the Adshead family in 1978, and our company remains family owned and operated to this day.
A lot has changed over the years though, while we began as scaffolding specialists, we are now one of the country’s leading suppliers of a full range of access solutions and associated products and services.
With dedicated and long-serving staff members and outlets in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Hobart and Perth, we’ve gained an outstanding reputation for supplying quality products, service and advice; this has made us a preferred partner for many of the country’s Tier 1 builders as well as Government and leading resource companies.
Our continuous focus on safety, innovation and improvement, a highly skilled workforce and an expertise in project management and end-to-end engineering, allows us to deliver a safe, cost effective, fast and flexible service.
Importantly, we offer important benefits only realised through a family business. Our owners work in the business, so their livelihood is on the line every day, every job. We treat our loyal staff like family. We care that they get home to their families. Every client matters and every piece of work is greatly appreciated. We are genuinely agile – we are not restricted by corporate structures and policies – we do whatever it takes to get the project done safely, on time, on budget.
Infrastructure, Energy, Process
BASE Industries has worked extensively across Construction, Mining and the Oil and Gas industries. We love a challenge and like to tackle the projects that other suppliers might deem to be too difficult or complicated.
Some of the leading companies that we’ve partnered with to delivery successful projects around the country are Delta Group, BHP, John Holland, Probuild, BAE Systems, CB&I, Contract Resources, Lend Lease, Icon Construction, Mirvac, Goldfields Gruyere Mine and others.
This experience enables Base Industries to pre-empt your pain points and work with you to remove or minimise them. The three areas that normally cause frustration and consume a lot of time are; transparency, visibility and flexibility.
While many companies talk about these three attributes, we have lived them for many decades as an agile family business. It’s in our DNA. To bring this culture to life for our customers we have developed an industry leading project management system.
We are determined to create an environment which is fatality-free, where everyone goes home safe and well after every day. Nothing comes before safety. And although our safety performance puts us among the leaders in our industry, we can do better. We are now benchmarking against ourselves against other sectors, such as aviation.
As well as supplying the market’s highest quality products, our company has invested heavily in a Critical Risk Management Program that actively engages every contractor and employee, makes use of critical control checklists and verification tools, and uses interfaces that connect with existing HSE systems.
Additionally, BASE Industries has developed an industry-first Scaffold Compliance Awareness and Safety Program that is available to all our client and can be tailored to suit their individual requirements.
