Commercial Scaffolding, Sydney, NSW
What is scaffolding?
Undoubtedly, you’ve seen a building with ongoing construction at one point in your life, but more likely than not, you weren’t able to fully see its structure just yet because there was an assortment of wooden planks and metal rods covering it.
That is the scaffolding.
It is an elevated working platform used temporarily to support workers and their tools and give them access to great heights. Using a mere ladder to reach high areas can be daunting and generally dangerous, and they don’t offer mobility and space to place necessary tools and equipment. Thus, scaffolding is utilised by workers for efficient construction, restoration, and maintenance of exterior parts.

What is the scaffolding process?
Building and setting up the scaffolding must be done in a meticulous manner to prevent any mistakes that might lead to grave accidents. Below are the steps that we undertake to guarantee utmost security:
· Gather necessary materials. Before everything else, we gather every tool, material, and equipment that we’ll be needing to erect the scaffolding. We then ensure that they are all up to Australian standards.
· Locate a stable foundation. This chosen ground must be levelled and without any slopes. Otherwise, if we have no choice but to build the scaffolding on uneven ground, we use base plates. Optionally, using casters would be helpful if the project requires us to work in different areas so that we won’t have to set up the scaffolding repeatedly.
· Assemble the structure. Lay out the opposite ends of the frame, along with their ladders, then attach the cross braces. These provide extra support to the scaffolding frame. Afterwards, we move it to the positions where we’ll be using it then inspect its stability.
· Install planks and guardrails. Put the planks into place and secure them with swivel locks. Slide the guardrail posts on each corner, fastening them with bolts, then attach the top and bottom rails in between.
· Conduct an inspection. Before having someone climb up the scaffolding, we conduct a thorough inspection to make sure that no accidents will occur due to any oversight. Are the casters locked in place? Base plates secure? Nuts and bolts fastened? We ask these many times after we finish the scaffolding and a few more times again upon every arrival to the site.
