<p>A modular scaffolding system is being used for the refurbishment of the Elizabeth
Tower. A UK sub-contractor is erecting the modular system, which is made from high
tensile galvanised steel supplied from Germany, through a UK-based company.</p><p>The
modular scaffolding system is supported by a steelwork gantry. The steelwork for the
gantry has been procured through a UK manufacturer (Sir Robert McAlpine’s sub-contractor).
The origin of the majority of the steel is British, but due to the quantity and size
of the components required it has been necessary to source some steel from overseas
suppliers, including in Brazil and the United Arab Emirates.</p><p>All of the steelwork
structures have been assembled in the UK.</p>
