It is generally provided with two rows of standards for better performance and to provide a strong platform. It is also known as independent scaffolding. This scaffolding is mostly used in wall construction (or bricklaying) and is less expensive.ĭouble scaffolding is used when it is not possible to make a hole into the wall to insert putlog and also where the cheap single type of scaffolding cannot be used, for example in stone masonry work. The distance between the standards is about 2 m to 2.5 m.Ĭross braces are also used for strength and stability. One end of the putlog is laid on the ledger and another end of putlog in the hole left in the wall, at an interval of 1.2 to 1.5 m. Ledgers are connected to the standards and are provided at a vertical interval of 1.2 m to 1.5 m. This type of scaffolding is erected by driving it into the ground a single row of standards at 1.5 – 3.0 m c/c ( generally, 2.4 meters c/c). Single scaffolding is constructed parallel to the wall at a distance of about 1.2 m and generally consists of a single framework of standards, putlogs and ledgers etc. Single Scaffolding / Bricklayers Scaffolding There are 7 types of scaffolding that are commonly used. It is used to support the materials during the construction at heights. It is used during the maintenance and cleaning of tall buildings.Ĥ. It is used when painting work is carried out at heights.ģ. It is used to provide a platform to work for masons.Ģ. If putlog is supported by ledgers on both ends then it is called transoms.ġ. This is a rail, provided like a ledger, at the working level. These are the horizontal platform used by masons to support workmen and material. It is a horizontal member which is parallel to the wall firmly fixed in the standard and provides support to the putlog. This is normally 90 cm in length and spaced at 1.2m.īracing members are tied diagonally to stiffen the scaffolding. Horizontal member supporting platform and resting on ledgers is putlog. These vertical members are spaced at 2.4 – 3.0 m. Standards are the vertical member which are embedded into the ground for the support of scaffolding. Scaffolding consists of the following components: These temporary structures which are built very close to the surface of the wall generally are in the form of timber or steel framework are said to be scaffolding.įor safety and integrity, each and every component of the scaffold should be checked properly before using. When the height of the wall or column or other structural members of a building exceeds about 1.5 m, temporary structures are required to support the platform over which the workmen can sit and continue the constructions. The temporary network erected to support several platforms for the convenience of workers is called scaffolding. Scaffolding is a temporary rigid structure to facilitate masons as a “platform to work” as the building height increases. Precautions to be taken for scaffolding safety
