STEP SCAFFOLDING

Consist of one or more platforms supported by

outrigger beams, brackets, poles, legs, uprights, posts,
frames, or similar rigid support.
SUSPENDED SCAFFOLDING
Suspended scaffolds are platforms suspended by
ropes, or other non-rigid means, from an overhead
structure. Because two-point scaffolds are the most
common type of suspended scaffold, this E-tool uses
the two-point module to describe requirements that
apply to all suspended scaffolds. Requirements specific
to other types are described only in their respective
modules.
SINGLE SCAFFOLDING
Usually used for brick masonry and so it is also known
as brick layer’s scaffolding. Single scaffolding
comprises of standards, putlogs, ledgers etc, which
corresponds to the wall at a distance of around 1.2
meter. Distance amongst the standards is around 2 –
2.5 meter. Ledgers join the standards at an upright gap
of 1.2 to 1.5 meter. 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 meter.
DOUBLE SCAFFOLDING
Usually used for stone masonry job, therefore , it is
also known as mason’s scaffolding. Its 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 – 30 cm
away from the wall, and another one is 1 meter 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.
CANTALIVER SCAFFOLDING
This is a type of independent scaffold which is erected
on cantilever beams and secured to a building at only
one end. The other side is left hanging or exposed.
This type of scaffold is efficient in that it provides
access to areas that would be difficult or uneconomic
to reach using a scaffold system erected from ground
level. Worker operating on cantilever scaffold system
must be fitted with safety harnesses.
BIRDCAGE SCAFFOLDING
This is a type of independent scaffold which is
typically used for interior work in large buildings such
as halls, mosque, museums and so on. It is generally
only used for one level, typically to provide easy access
to ceilings and soffits. It consists of parallel rows of
standards connected by ledgers in both directions and
supporting a single working platform.
RAKING STRUT
A shoring technique deploys rakers, or scaffolding tube,
set at an incline from the ground to the top of the wall and
providing support from the side along the way. The rakers
originate from a sole plate embedded in the ground and
continue upward to link to a wall plate screwed into the
structure near its top. Rakers should be angled at 45
degrees, though an incline of up to 75 degrees is also
acceptable. Rakers must be secured at intervals with
braces that bolt into cleats on the wall. Experts advise
against using construction wedges to connect rakers to
sole plates, because wedges can fail if the building vibrates
or shakes.
HORIZONTAL STRUT
Uses shores that don’t touch the ground, but rather
span in mid-air the widths between the walls you’re
propping up. The flying shoring technique focuses on
a horizontal strut or shore placed between the walls,
secured to wall plates and supported by a network of
needles, or shorter beams, and steel construction
cleats. Additional inclined struts brace into wall plates
and angle upward to the horizontal shore to provide
additional strength. Inclined struts gain extra support
from needles at the top and straining pieces, or
straining sills, at the bottom.
DEAD STRUT
Provide vertical support to roofs and floors. The method
is designed to arrange a system of beams and posts that
can both support a building’s weight and transfer the
weight to a foundation on the ground. Builders install
dead shores by cutting holes into walls and inserting
vertical beams or girders to prop up the structure above.
Dead shores, which are vertical props, are braced to a
sole plate on the ground, and needles are secured
horizontally to the tops of the dead shores. Builders
should leave enough distance between the dead shores
and the walls to allow workers to pass through the space.
