Industry experts give their best tips for buying scaffolding to ensure you get the right equipment for the job, check all the safety boxes and don't have unpleasant surprises. Stick to the standards The number one rule is to find out what international scaffolding standard is used in your region and comply with it. There are several standards available worldwide and all have been developed with good reason, says Dennis Braithwaite, technical manager of scaffolding service provider, Cape. "Many of the standards are similar, but each one sets the specific requirements for individual components, such as couplers, tubes, boards and a specification for the system scaffolding," he says. "We insist that all scaffolding material be purchased with the specified standards and supplied with the appropriate certification." While most accredited companies will already adhere to recognized standards, Braithwaite says that unspecified materials are still commonly ...

Every time any large construction project is conceived; Design and engineering considerations are the first step that starts the project. These are backed by the technology provider and the engineering consultant that make up the project management team. Any major or minor project that involves construction activities always requires work at height that can be accomplished through scaffolding. The project leader should consider the scaffolding as a separate vertical along with important activities such as civil works, mechanical work, electrical work, etc. Here are the 3 key factors that will determine the success of any scaffolding operation: Design philosophy When the scaffold is to be raised at a height of 20 meters or more or when the scaffold is considered critical, a structural engineer will help you make an informed decision about the design aspects of the scaffolding system. Whether your construction requires hanging scaffolding, cantilever scaffolding or suspend...

The history of telecommunications, after the use of primitive means, begins with the first organized postal services, the development of the telegraph, telephone, wireless and digital communications. This is undoubtedly one of the areas where technology has evolved the fastest. Origin of telecommunications:  Telecom Tower The earliest telecommunication processes were the smoke signals used by Native American peoples in North and South America, and the drums used by the peoples of Africa, New Guinea, and South America. These signals made it possible to transmit sometimes complex information. The Yagans, for example, were using smoke signals to indicate beached whales, so the majority can take the meat from the carcass before it decomposes. Perhaps they were using these signals for other purposes, so it is possible that Fernand de Magellan saw one of these fires when he crossed Patagonia, which inspired the name of Tierra del Fuego. Transmission Tower The ancient...

Have you started construction and are you planning to build concrete structures with your own hands? In this case, you cannot do without a properly made formwork. We will talk about this structure and how to build it yourself in this article. Main Features Steel formwork - prefabricated structure of special materials or debris, designed to fill the solution and form one or more concrete products. The base of this building are the shaping elements, which are held in the proper position by means of special supports or fasteners. Important: Did you know that the use of formwork goes back to the time of ancient Egypt? There is a theory that blocks for pyramid formwork in construction were not cut in stone, but were cast from a variety of geo polymer concrete into special forms that could be crushed. During the long history of building cement-based mortar solutions, a wide variety of formwork systems have been developed. But, despite the diversity of modifications, all th...

The need for system scaffolding in the construction industry to carry out demolition, maintenance and repair work is obvious. One of the best staging structures used in Australia is the Cuplock System, which is based on securing nodes with two cups instead of wedges, nuts and bolts. It provides a fast, multiple and simplified system of start-up projects related to this field of work. It offers a quick solution to ensure up to four horizontals at a time through a reliable top cup that makes the joint firm and rigid. This type of structure is easy to lift and disassemble, leaves no loose ends, requires minimal maintenance and does not use components such as nuts, bolts and wedges. It is better for access or formwork support and has a high load capacity despite being quite light. The varied components of the Cuplock system scaffolding are listed below: Standard / Vertical Cuplock It has cup joints at regular distances; The captive moving upper cups are suitable to face the ...

Fundamentals of the fabric basically, there are three types of fabrics on the market today; these are natural mixtures, synthetic (made by man) or fabrics. Fabric blends are fabrics where natural and synthetic fibers are used to make a type of fabric. Natural fibers are derived from plants or animals; some of the animals used are sheep, goats, alpacas, rabbits and the silkworm, which is used to make fine silk. Fabric Interlock Some of the plants used are bamboo, cotton, linen, hemp, and even pineapple leaves are used. Some of the natural fabrics are wool, silk, cotton, linen and hemp. Synthetic fibers are manufactured by a chemical process where chemicals are forced through small holes called rows. Some of the fabrics produced from these fibers are polyester, nylon, acetate and spandex. When natural and synthetic fibers are used together to create fabrics, many different fabrics can be created, because each fiber acts differently and has its own qualities. When wool and cotton...

Scaffolding as an aid in construction and maintenance has been in use for more than 5000 years with its first mentions of the Chinese and the Egyptians. Therefore, scaffolding has been fundamental to the progress of mankind. Bamboo, one of the most basic elements used for a long time in scaffolding has been called the "grass that built Asia." However, as time progresses, superior, safer and more versatile materials and designs have been made available for scaffolding . The complexity and aesthetics of the design, as well as the large scale of modern projects, build, demand safer and multipurpose scaffolding that can withstand work at height and at the same time guarantee the safety of workers. There are several different forms of scaffolding in terms of their shape and structure, such as trestle scaffolding, steel scaffolding, patented scaffolding, cantilever scaffolding, suspended scaffolding, simple scaffolding and double scaffolding. These forms are based on...

A scaffold is a structure widely used in most work sites. It represents a temporary and safe work platform to help in building maintenance repair access audit, etc. When it comes to choosing the structure that best suits a construction site, engineers or technicians play a crucial role. His experience in the subject will ensure the best advice: type of work, workplace conditions, etc. If we classify the types of scaffolding according to the intrinsic mechanical differences of the many models, we would say that there are 3 types of scaffolds used in construction sites, such as: Tube and coupler scaffolding H / frame frame scaffolding Multidirectional scaffolding In this issue, we will carefully analyze the first and oldest type, the tube and coupler scaffolding. The tube and coupler scaffolding is conceived as a temporary structure at a construction site. The work is auxiliary and temporary. Its objective is to support the work tea...

Benefits of Scaffolding: 1. Provides a welcoming and supportive learning environment 2. Students do not feel free to ask questions and support each other through new learning 3. Learner frustration is reduced 4. Learners feel involved and encourage them to learn 5. A teacher using scaffolding becomes more of a mentor and a facilitator of knowledge, not a mainstream content expert. 6. This teaching method allows students to play a more active role in their learning process. 7. Scaffolding engages students in meaningful and dynamic discussion 8. Students are challenged through deep learning and discovery 9. Scaffolding provides individualized instruction and as a result increases the likelihood that students will achieve educational goals. 10.

Scaffolding is a basic temporary structure that includes existing or future structures that are used extensively in industrial and private property, helping designer’s secure and ergonomic access to design work. For the construction and use of scaffolding coupler , it is necessary to provide optimal protection and supervision, as it may cause death that may result in death. This event also contributes to the loss of working hours, resources, human life, environmental impact and innumerable aspects of personal and professional life.   There are several standards that can be considered for steel scaffolding construction (eg, the US OSHA standard). Us British Standard, Australian Standard, etc. Personal and business choice and standard implementations are largely determined by local legal compliance and personal standards.   The UK standards for scaffolding provide clear exposure to relevant aspects of construction and safety from the start of construction and routine in...

The type of scaffold that provides the best support for workers is largely up to the task at hand. There are several types of scaffolding that you can choose from to choose the type of scaffolding that will help make your job safer. Scaffolding provides a reliable support to the worker while performing a much higher level of work than the ground. They may be an immovable support structure that remains in place unless disarmed and installed in another location. Other types of footrests have wheeled rollers that allow the operator to move the footrests in certain areas without having to move them to where they are needed to dismantle and disassemble the footrests and continue the work. The cable helps to move the platform from front to back or raise or lower the footrest to a new position, and has fixtures that move the footrest to the desired position and lock the footrest in place. The tubes scaffolding is made of various kinds of materials. Aluminum is a very popular material in ma...
