November 2012. The older Wildeck work platform is now being used for storage by the university’s School of Music. The lower level is secured with fencing and used to store computers and other electronic equipment. Both platforms are freestanding modular structures that can be disassembled and relocated to accommodate changing needs.

As for how it’s all working out, Nicholson reports that the work platforms are exceeding expectations and that he’s very happy with their performance.

“I would certainly buy Wildeck products again,” he says. “For what we need our work platforms to do, they do the job extremely well.”
