Construction scaffolding for use in industry
Construction scaffolding for use in industry

Scaffolding is used not only on construction sites for building houses, repairs and restoration, but also in industry. Manufacturing plants, chemical plants and other industrial facilities also use scaffolding.

For what purposes is scaffolding used in industry?

  • Installation of pipelines,
  • Boiler maintenance,
  • Repair and adjustment of furnaces,
  • Work in cooling towers,
  • Access to pressure vessels,
  • Replacement and cleaning of windows,
  • Access to external walls and roofs of industrial buildings.

What are the requirements for scaffolding in industry?

Adaptability and versatility

Scaffolding can be erected both near straight walls and near complex structures. Dismountable scaffolding can be delivered through standard-sized doors and driveways. The design can be adapted to the individual requirements of the plant. Scaffolding is able to connect units and machines to guarantee access for plant workers and ensure the continuity of the work process.

Safety

Potential hazards must always be minimized, especially during work at height. Therefore, enterprises always pay special attention to safety and labor protection. Scaffolding used in factories and process shops must have a quality certificate. Special requirements are imposed on the scaffolding material (it is recommended to use steel scaffolding to avoid fire), measures are taken to prevent parts and materials from falling (gaps and special steps).

Easy assembly

Scaffolding used at the enterprise must be quickly assembled. Easy assembly and large incoming units are exactly what is needed when erecting scaffolds in industry! Repair and maintenance work at enterprises is strictly planned. Tight deadlines are intended to minimize interruptions in production.

Frame scaffolding is easy to assemble and has the shortest assembly time. No tools are needed to erect frame scaffolding.

Durability and fire resistance

In workshops where production processes take place at high temperatures, high-rise equipment must be made of fire-resistant material, such as steel. Other materials that are adversely affected by high temperatures (aluminum, wood, fiberglass) cannot be used in high-temperature conditions. Scaffolding can be equipped with metal platforms with lattice flooring.
