scaffolding types and its uses

Scaffolding Types with Their Uses
2
What do we understand by the word Scaffolding?

• All things considered, framework is only a
  temporary structure which is utilized to offer
  help to the first structure and in the meantime,
  it likewise works as a stage for the laborers to
  play out the development works. As per the sort
  of development work, the kind of platform will
  contrast. Framework should be well-fabricated,
  solid and firm to help specialists and other
  development material laid on it. Both of steel or
  timber, platform is comprised of.

Trestle Scaffolding

• The working platform is supported on movable
  ladders or tripods in trestle scaffolding. It is
  used up to a height of 5m and is normally used
  for work inside the room like repairs, paintings
  and likewise.

4
Steel Scaffolding

• Steel scaffolding is made from steel tubes that
  are set jointly by steel fittings or couplers. It
  is simple to erect and to dismantle. It has
  better robustness, greater durability and
  superior fire resistance. Though it is not
  affordable cost wise, it provides greater safety
  for workers. Thats the precise reason it is used
  so widely these days.

5
Patented Scaffolding

• Patented scaffoldings are also made from steel
  however, they are fitted with special couplings
  and frames etc. These are readymade scaffoldings
  that are obtainable on the market. Working
  platform is set on the brackets that are
  adjustable to the required level in this type of
  scaffolding.

6
Suspended Scaffolding

• Suspended scaffolding is mainly used for
  paintings, repair works, etc. Here, with the
  assistance of chains or wire ropes etc., the
  working platform is suspended from roofs. It can
  be lifted or lowered to the desired level.

7
Cantilever Scaffolding

• In cantilever scaffolding, the standards are
  supported by a chain of needles and these needles
  are pulled out via holes in the wall. This is
  known as single frame scaffolding-type. In
  another type, needles are supported inside the
  floors via the openings and this is called
  independent or double frame scaffolding type.
  When constructing cantilever scaffolding, good
  care should be taken. Normally, under below
  mentioned conditions, cantilever scaffolding is
  used. scaffold board is used as the platform.
• When the upper part of the wall is under
  construction
• When ground is close to the wall and is free from
  traffic
• When the ground is not capable of supporting
  standards

8
Single Scaffolding

• Single scaffolding is usually used for brick
  masonry and so it is also known as brick layers
  scaffolding. scaffold board is used as the
  platform. Single scaffolding comprises of
  standards, putlogs, ledgers etc., which
  corresponds to the wall at a distance of around
  1.2 m. Distance amongst the standards is around 2
  to 2.5 m. Ledgers join the standards at an
  upright gap of 1.2 to 1.5 m. Putlogs are
  extracted from the gap remaining in the wall to
  one end of the ledgers. Putlogs are positioned at
  a gap of 1.2 to 1.5 m.

Double Scaffolding

• Double Scaffolding is normally used for stone
  masonry job, therefore, it is also known as
  masons scaffolding. scaffold board is used as
  the platform. It is also known as the independent
  scaffolding. Typically, in stone walls, it is
  tough to make holes in the wall for supporting
  putlogs thus, two scaffolding rows are made to
  make it robust. Basically, the first row is about
  20 to 30 cm away from the wall, and another one
  is 1m away from the first row. Then after putlogs
  are positioned that are supported by both the
  frames. In order to make it sturdier, cross
  braces and rakers are supplied.

 Kwikstage Scaffolding

• The Kwikstage system is manufactured from hard
  wearing galvanized steel. Kwikstage scaffolding
  system is effortless to assemble and erect and
  simple to take down. For builders working on big
  or small projects, this scaffolding system is
  very helpful. Wherever regular scaffold is used,
  Kwikstage scaffolding can also be used as an
  alternative. Using a strong and safe interlocking
  system, the patented Kwikstage modular system can
  be built to any height.
