Some trigger heights can be as high as 125 feet/38 meters, others can be as low as 33 feet/10 meters for certain types of scaffolds. Tall Scaffolds: Depending on your jurisdiction, and the type of scaffolding used, your regulations may require an engineered scaffold design.
Here is a list of some of the more common scaffolding situations: There are quite a number of scenarios where additional engineering and verification may be required for access scaffolding. “I don’t know what I don’t know”) when it comes to proper scaffolding design. Inexperienced engineers often fall victim to their “unconscious incompetence” (i.e. Modern industrial system scaffolding is more than just a series of 2 inch pipes! It’s a manufactured product - with HUGE VARIANCES (up to 50%) between manufacturers in terms of strength, deflection, and engineering models. I have worked with some great scaffold engineers and designers over the years.)Įven more troubling, is when we have witnessed engineers with NO SCAFFOLDING EXPERIENCE take on a complex scaffold design. Sad to say, good experienced scaffold engineers are often few and far between. In general, scaffold engineering has been one of the more challenging parts of the North American scaffolding industry. In this final article, we will get into some of the situations where additional engineering/design services may be required for supported industrial access scaffolds. In the first two parts of “Scaffolding’s Dirty Little Secret” we discussed some useful TIPS to check your site’s scaffold loading information and the TYPES of scaffold load calculations required for scaffolds.
