Geevor Tin Mine – A Historic Landmark
One of our standout projects that contributed to this recognition was our work on Geevor Tin Mine in Pendeen. As one of the largest preserved mining sites in the UK, Geevor played a vital role in Cornwall’s rich mining history. The mine operated from 1911 to 1990, extracting tin from deep underground tunnels beneath the rugged coastline. Today, it is a heritage site and museum, offering visitors a glimpse into the lives of Cornish miners and the region’s deep-rooted mining heritage. Geevor is also part of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site, recognised by UNESCO for its historical significance.
Our team was tasked with designing and installing scaffolding that allowed for essential maintenance and preservation work while ensuring minimal disruption to the site's historical integrity. Working on such an important landmark required careful planning, precision, and a deep respect for the site's legacy.
This recognition is a testament to the dedication, experience, and professionalism of our scaffolders, who consistently go above and beyond to meet the highest safety and quality standards. We are incredibly proud to have been acknowledged among the best in the industry, and we remain committed to providing top-tier scaffolding solutions across Cornwall and beyond.
We’d like to thank our team, our clients, and everyone who has supported us along the way. Here’s to more successful projects in the future!
