Currently, there are many occupational accidents happening to construction works, mainly due to subjectivity and lack of knowledge leading to unnecessary damage to people and property. For construction equipment such as Scaffolding or other machines, if fully understanding its effects, it is possible to avoid future dangers. So what is scaffolding and how does it work in the construction process, let’s learn through the article below.
What is scaffolding?
Scaffolding is a specialized equipment in most construction works, there are many different construction scaffolding systems during construction such as: Scaffolding, Pal scaffolding, Wedge scaffolding. Currently, Framed Scaffolding and Wedge Scaffolding are more popular, frame scaffolding is used to cover and wedge scaffold is used to support floors in buildings.

The frame scaffolding has a stable structure including 4 legs, 2 scissors and a working tray that are linked together by screws. Depending on the height of the designed scaffolding, frames with height from 0.9 to 1.7 m are installed depending on the structure of the building, they are connected together in a block, a series of scaffolding around the building for construction outside, can also install construction rig inside the building.
There are scaffolding frames up to hundreds of meters high so there must be meticulous assembly regulations and ensure the safest for everyone, as well as reduce the damage to people and property because the foundation is not sure. so it is very easy to happen danger.
With a sturdy steel construction, and stable welded joints, the four-pin, cross-legged and fully-mounted chassis of the components ensures stability and can take the user where they want.
The wedge scaffolding includes D49 steel vertical supports, linked together by the D42 horizontal bracing bars, increasing the bearing capacity for the project many times compared to the frame scaffolding system.

However, you should carefully check the condition of foundations, walls, concrete and scaffolding facilities before construction. Must cover the net surrounding the scaffolding frame. With a total scaffolding height of less than 12m, a ladder or a hanging ladder can be used. Therefore, the total height of over 12m must have a separate cage.
At the same time there is lightning protection system for high scaffolding. Metal scaffolding also requires its own lightning protection system.
Hopefully with the above information, you will have more information about scaffolding and types of scaffolding today.
