Scaffolding can be assembled in different shapes and dimensions.
A scaffold is a structure that allows you to stand on it to carry out work at height . Whoever climbs a scaffold can paint a ceiling or carry out building or restoration tasks on a property , to name a few possibilities.
Supported or hung boards
Scaffolds are made up of boards arranged horizontally, which are supported by feet . When the scaffold is suspended by ropes , it is called a suspended scaffold .
On construction sites , scaffolding is essential. Thanks to the scaffolding, workers can access the different work areas, moving materials and advancing with their tasks. With scaffolding, walkways and bridges can also be implemented to facilitate movement within the construction site.
It should be noted that scaffolding is a temporary and auxiliary framework . Once the actions are completed and the construction or repair in question is completed, the scaffolding is dismantled.
Typically, an outside company is hired to design the scaffolding, which can be more financially costly than owning your own but provides several invaluable benefits, such as increased safety. The process of assembling and maintaining a scaffold must be done with great precision , and that is why it is recommended to take advantage of the experience of those who dedicate themselves exclusively to these tasks.
“Ring Lock” scaffold
The so-called Ring Lock or multidirectional scaffolds are very particular, both for their appearance and their applications. They are ideal for holding the ground , since they are very versatile because they can be assembled in different sizes and shapes, in a straight or curved line, and can also expand in all directions.
Its parts are the following:
* base plate : from it, the surface on which the entire structure will rest must be leveled before assembling it;
* neck : it is the part of the scaffolding that is placed directly after the base plate to begin construction;
* vertical : this is the support of the entire structure. Each of the verticals has a rose window in which the union with the horizontals and diagonals occurs;
* horizontal and diagonal : mentioned in the previous point, these are the parts of the scaffolding that allow it to shape and support the entire structure ;
* Platforms and stairs : the operators move on them, through each level and to go from one to another.
Maintenance and recommendations
The installation and use of scaffolding requires special care to minimize the possibility of accidents. It is important to check the support and fastening parts, signs must be placed to promote safe use and workers must use helmets for protection , for example.
Thanks to its stairs and walkways, workers can move around the structure
Before the design of a scaffold begins, it is important to collect all the data related to its location and its use so that the result fits the needs and possibilities, guaranteeing the greatest safety and stability of the structure . Some of the specific data that contractors request before erecting a scaffold are the following: date it will be needed, use it will receive, dimensions and space available, maximum number of people who will use it simultaneously, types of access to the structure, terrain characteristics, potential limitations and problems that may put its integrity at risk.
Scaffold 90
Andamio 90 , on the other hand, is the name of a theater hall and theater school located in the City of Buenos Aires ( Argentina ). It was founded by Alejandra Boero in 1990 and currently teaches courses in Theater Direction , Theater Teaching and Acting , all of them with official titles. In addition, different workshops are held at Andamio 90 .
