When walking along a street in a town or city or commuting to and from work, you will see countless scaffolding structures. You may see them every day and not even think twice or really notice them. But, what are they all for? Why do we need them?
The construction industry requires scaffolding structures for accessibility and safety reasons, but there are a handful of other jobs that also need scaffolding. In our latest blog, we are going to discuss what jobs and activities require scaffolding.
Scaffolding enthusiasts will already be aware of all the different types of scaffolding from bamboo scaffolding to putlog scaffolding. Different types of scaffolding are used across the world, but today we’d like to focus on providing an overview of cantilever scaffolding.
When we think of scaffolding we often picture large scaffolding structures erected outside of construction projects and buildings, as this is what we are used to seeing when we wander around cities and towns. However, scaffolding can also be used indoors for a variety of purposes and applications. In this blog, we are going to take a look at what those uses for indoor scaffolding are. Here is our brief list of indoor uses for scaffolding.
Yes, you can. Uneven or sloping grounds rarely prevent a sturdy scaffolding structure being erected by our experienced scaffold experts.
To tackle bumps and lumps in the ground, it is necessary to use scaffolding with adjustable components. This will ensure that the scaffold doesn’t get destabilised by any uneven surface.
Putlog scaffolding, otherwise known as bricklayer’s scaffolding or single scaffolding, is a system that involves using the wall of a building or structure as a support for the working platform. It is erected using a single row of standards and a single ledger. The ‘putlog’ is a component that links the wall and the ledger together.
Steel is the most commonly used material for scaffolding. Steel scaffolding is extremely durable with high strength and is comparable to other scaffolding materials such as aluminium and wood.
Scaffolding is a temporary structure that is used in various areas of construction, maintenance and repair work. This is because it provides access to work in locations that are high and/ or remote. Predominantly, it is made from steel, bamboo or timber. The main purpose of erecting scaffolding is to provide a platform for a worker to work at different heights, or to lift materials for immediate use.
