Guide for return of rented scaffold material: what you should avoid doing
Especially in the case of high order quantities or the need for special parts, you can increase your stock at short notice with scaffold rental and thus save storage costs. At the end of your project, you simply return the extra material. In our last post, we summarised how the rented scaffolding material should ideally look like when you return it at the end of the rental period. However, it happens from time to time that this doesn't always work out so ideally. We have summarised a few possible sources of error when returning rental equipment.
Guide for return of rented scaffold material: How to properly return rented scaffolding material
Basically, you can use your rental material just like your own. The only major difference is that you can return it at the end of the project. Therefore, you should always keep an eye on the condition of the material. You can read more about what you should pay attention to when returning your rental equipment here.
Advantages of BIM for scaffolders
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is becoming increasingly relevant in the construction industry. The method has already been or is planned to be made a requirement for public construction projects in many countries. And BIM also has the potential to make work considerably easier for scaffolders.
What is BIM? – Building Information Modeling explained
Have you ever heard of BIM? Building Information Modeling is actually used more and more in the construction industry. And this also applies to scaffolding. So, if you want to be well positioned for the future, you should deal with the topic early on. But what does BIM actually mean? We have explained the method briefly here.
Impressive scaffolding projects at the world's most famous landmarks
Extraordinary large buildings and structures are always an impressive sight and they almost automatically become tourist magnets. But while we are craning our necks to see the top of them, hardly anyone thinks back to the building phase. Today we want to change that and introduce you to a few of the biggest scaffolding projects in construction and renovation. Because the enormous architectural and structural achievements behind the world's most impressive buildings would hardly be possible without scaffolding.
How to deal with the summer heat on the scaffold
This year, we are once again in for a particularly hot summer. In parts of southern Europe, temperatures have already reached over 40 degrees. The heat is also a big challenge for your work on the scaffold. Read here what you can do to get through the hot working days.
Tips for good scaffold maintenance
Your safety on the scaffold is not only about PPE and a high-quality scaffolding system but also about the proper maintenance of your scaffolding material. So, before you even begin to erect your scaffolding on site, you should make sure that all components are safe to use. Read here how to keep your scaffolding material in good condition.
How to save time and labour during scaffold assembly and dismantling
Material transport during scaffold assembly and dismantling does not necessarily have to be labour- and time-intensive. With clever scaffolding solutions, you can significantly increase the time and cost efficiency of your scaffolding projects.
Summer's here: What you should consider on the scaffold now
As nice as the first rays of summer sunshine are, we have to reckon with more sudden, heavy rain showers, storms and heat thunderstorms in many regions. Here, there is a risk of slipping on the wet scaffolding or that the statics could be impaired by strong winds. We have summarised here how you can prepare yourself and your scaffolding for all the weather conditions that the hot season has to offer.
Innovation in construction: three building materials of the future
The future of the construction and scaffolding industry is shaped by new building materials that no one will soon be able to ignore. The great demand for sustainability as well as space-saving and lighter materials urgently requires innovations. Learn more about three of the most innovative building materials here.
