Engineered access · Work-at-height risk management · Temporary works
World-class site safety and engineering discipline, built to Singapore standards and delivered for industry and infrastructure in Bangladesh.
Our core engineering is from Singapore.
Dhaka, Bangladesh
Who we are
We bring the way the world’s most demanding sites work — engineered, documented, zero-harm — to every job we take on.
Core Access Engineering is a Bangladesh company managing work-at-height risk for industrial plants, facilities and infrastructure projects — from advising whether work at height can be avoided to engineering safe scaffolding and access where it can’t.
Our people built their careers on high-specification international sites, where nothing goes up without a design, a risk assessment and an inspection. That way of working is exactly what we deliver for our clients here.
Leadership with more than 20 years of combined experience on complex sites — refineries, data centres, pharmaceutical plants and major civil structures.
Scaffolds laid out to the Singapore codes of practice, with design calculations and certified drawings from our Singapore core engineering when a project calls for them.
Supervisors, erectors and inspectors trained to international safety practice — and a local workforce we develop to the same standard.
Our name, our method
Core Access starts every job with advice, not equipment. First we ask whether the work at height can be eliminated, then whether a safer method can replace it. Only when neither is practicable do we engineer safe access: a designed scaffold with protection built in.
We advise whether the task can be done without working at height — from the ground, or by pre-assembly.
If height can’t be avoided, we advise a safer method or equipment, even if it isn’t ours.
Only then do we step in: a layout drawing to the Singapore codes, system scaffold (ringlock or aluminium mobile tower), with guardrails, toe boards, boarded platforms and ties built in.
Core Access: eliminate first, substitute next, engineer the rest.
The order follows the upstream risk controls of Singapore’s Code of Practice on WSH Risk Management and ISO 45001 — going beyond the Bangladesh minimum.
Our model
Three strengths come together in one Bangladesh contractor — so you get international standards without managing an overseas supplier.
Two decades on high-spec international projects
Singapore standards and design review, plus calculation and certification from our Singapore core engineering when a project needs it
Crews built on international safety practice
Your single contracting partner in Bangladesh — one point of responsibility for design, people, equipment and safety.
Dhaka-basedBuilt to Singapore standard configurations; calculated and certified when the design demands it
RAMS, permits, certificates, tags and inspection records
Trained crews and equipment, on schedule
Our core engineering is from Singapore.
It gives our Bangladesh team senior engineering depth — and Singapore’s standards — on projects where the stakes are highest.
Independent and locally owned. Core Access is a Bangladesh company.
Who we serve
Operating sites in Bangladesh that answer to global HSE standards. We plug straight into your permit, audit and reporting systems.
International contractors and consultants delivering development-partner projects in Bangladesh, who need a local partner already fluent in their safety systems.
What we deliver
Access solutions designed for your site to Singapore standards: system selection, layout drawings, method statements and risk assessments, plus load and tie calculations and remote design certification when the project calls for them.
Supervisors, erectors and inspectors who build, inspect, tag and dismantle safely — for a single job or a long-term contract.
A maintained, inspected fleet of access systems that meet the Singapore and European standards below, delivered to site — with or without our crews. Steel props for formwork and back-propping are available for hire or sale.
Light, fast and clean — for indoor and sensitive areas.
Data centres · Pharma BS EN 1004 · SS 659
Modular and strong — fast to erect for heavy industrial work.
Refineries · Shutdowns SS 280-2 · BS EN 12811-1
Fully flexible — built around complex shapes and structures.
Civil · Power · Bridges SS 311 · SS 659
Adjustable single props with U-head or flat head, for formwork and back-propping. Sizes and safe working loads on request.

Every project follows the same disciplined path — from the first site visit to the final handover.
Why every job starts with advice: our method →
Zero harm is how we work — every site, every shift.
We work to Singapore’s scaffold and work-at-height standards and comply with Bangladesh’s building and labour regulations, alongside each client’s own HSE requirements.
Singapore standards
Singapore runs one of the most tightly regulated scaffold and work-at-height regimes in the region. We apply its codes of practice and standards as our benchmark on every project in Bangladesh — on top of Bangladesh law and each client’s own HSE rules.

Standard scaffolds are built to the standard configurations of the codes above: generic, pre-calculated arrangements accepted as standard practice in Singapore. When a design or site goes beyond them, we prepare project-specific calculations for client and consultant approval.
An optional service: when a client, consultant or authority requires a certified design, a Singapore PE firm checks, signs and issues the design certificate remotely, and a Bangladesh-registered PE can verify the erected scaffold on site.
Standards are applied at their current editions. Bangladesh law — including the Bangladesh National Building Code and the Bangladesh Labour Act — always applies on Bangladesh sites.
