Impressive restoration and renovation projects using scaffolding
All over the world we have historic buildings and other masterpieces that need to be restored and renovated due to damages caused by the passage of time or even disasters like fires. Whether in preservation efforts or reconstruction works, utmost care is usually required on the part of scaffolders to avoid damaging the structure through the scaffolding. Here, we present three of the currently largest projects in the field of restoration and renovation of historic buildings and artworks.
Scaffolding in the oil, gas and chemical industry
The assembly and dismantling of scaffolding in oil, gas and chemical plants is often a complex matter. Not only are the safety requirements for scaffolding in refineries and other plants particularly high, but tight schedules must also be adhered to for scaffold erection and dismantling during maintenance, shutdowns, or turnarounds.
Scaffolding in the construction and infrastructure industry
Undoubtedly, the construction industry is the undisputed number one among the sectors that require scaffolding. In structural and civil engineering projects, scaffolding provides safe access to work areas at height. Scaffolding is not only used for the construction of various types of buildings but also for subsequent maintenance, inspection, and cleaning work on the building.
Construction crisis in Europe - how scaffolders can deal with it now
The European construction industry is currently facing a series of challenges. Global shortages of resources, particularly wood, steel, and other crucial materials, have led to significant price hikes and delays. Additionally, bottlenecks and delays in global logistics have resulted in construction projects being delayed or halted in recent years.
Types of scaffolding for bridge construction, maintenance and renovation
Larger bridge construction and maintenance projects often involve the use of several types of scaffolding at the same time, for example, when the bridge substructure and the piers are scaffolded separately. Which types of scaffolding are suitable for such projects depends, as is so often the case, very much on the work to be carried out, but also on other factors such as the available floor space or transport routes to the bridge.
Types of scaffolding stairs and stair towers
The good old ladder would probably win the race for the easiest way to access scaffolding or other work areas at height. But when it comes to safety, ergonomics and comfort, other access solutions are ahead. Read on to learn more about three of the most popular stair solutions in scaffolding, their key features and applications.
Here's why you should consider a career in scaffolding
Are you looking for a varied job with lots of action and team spirit? Then scaffolding is probably the right career for you! To help you decide if a career in scaffolding is right for you, we have put together 5 good reasons to become a scaffolder.
How to stay safe on the scaffold in cold and icy conditions
Winter can be a challenging season for scaffolders, with freezing temperatures, biting winds, and icy scaffolding decks. However, by implementing a few crucial measures, you can increase both the safety and comfort of your work during the colder months. Here are three essential practices for working on the scaffold in ice and cold weather.
Three reasons why you should invest in hot-dip galvanized steel scaffolding
High quality scaffolding can take a lot - partly because of the way it is protected from corrosion and other damage during manufacture. Hot-dip galvanising of steel scaffolding components has proven to be particularly effective here. Read on to find out why this is the case and what benefits hot-dip galvanised scaffolding offers you.
Guide to scaffolding load classes in the USA, Australia and New Zealand
The load classes indicate the maximum load you can place on your scaffolding and therefore the type of work you can safely use it for. If you need to assemble scaffolding in the USA, Australia or New Zealand, click here for an overview of the applicable standards for scaffolding load classes.
