Types of Scaffolding Systems
WHAT IS A SCAFFOLD?
A scaffold is a temporary work platform and its supporting structure used for supporting workers and/or materials Scaffolds are used to aid in the construction, maintenance and repair of buildings, bridges, and all other man-made structures. Scaffolds are widely used to gain access to heights and areas that would be otherwise be difficult and/or unsafe to access. hard to get to.
Most new construction and maintenance jobs require scaffolding. Whether the work involves repair, demolition, or new construction. Working above ground without an elevated safe working platform can be very impractical and inefficient, but also unacceptably dangerous.
Tube and Clamp
Tube and clamp scaffolds consists of steel or aluminum tubes with wedge or bolt clamp connectors and accessories. Tube and clamp scaffolds are versatile and economical. Tube and clamp scaffolds allow for infinite variations. Therefore, it is adaptable for any circumstance.
System
System scaffolding consists of posts with fixed connection points at predetermined levels. In many scenarios, system scaffolding can be erected/dismantled faster and more efficiently, especially in open areas.
TYPES OF SCAFFOLDING SYSTEMS
Supported
A supported scaffold consists of one or more platforms supported by outrigger beams, brackets, poles, legs, uprights, posts, frames, or similar rigid support. These scaffolds are built from the ground up.
Suspended
A supported scaffold consists of one or more platforms suspended from a permanent or temporary structure overhead.
