Temporary structure in the form of the timber or steel framework over which o worker can sit and continues his construction work is called Scaffolding. It is needed to construct a new building, repair the structure, or even demolition the building. When the height of any structural member is more than 1.5 m, then Scaffolding is needed.

Scaffolding is made of strong, sufficient, and stable materials to carry the workers and construction materials placed on it easily. Now a day's many construction companies use aluminium steigers for that purpose because of their reliability. As the work progresses up words during the construction, the height of the Scaffolding is also increased.

Kinds of Scaffolding:

For various types of construction, different types of Scaffolding are used. By understanding the meaning and usage of these kinds, you can easily select the type of Scaffolding according to your requirement.

Trestle Scaffolding:

Tripod-type movable ladders support trestle scaffolding. It is mainly used primarily in indoors for repairs or painting works. This type of Scaffolding is limited to indoors because the height in this Scaffolding is up to 5m only.

Steel Scaffolding:

As the name suggests, this Scaffolding is created using steel tubes set by couplers, and it is easy to assemble and can easily disintegrate. There are many benefits of steel scaffolding. However, it is higher in cost, but it provides higher safety standards during construction.

Steel scaffolding provides strength, durability and it is also fire resistant. Today, it is the most popular Scaffolding because of its benefits. This kind of Scaffolding is mainly used in outdoor structures and for the bigger structures.

Brick-Layer's Scaffolding:

Brick-layer's Scaffolding consists of a single framework of standards, ledgers, putlogs, etc.; it is constructed parallel to the wall at a distance of about 1.20m. Standards are placed at 2 to 3 meters intervals. At the vertical intervals of 1.2 to 1.5 m intervals, ledgers are connected to standards. Putlogs are placed at the one end on ledgers, and the other end right angles on the wall. It is the transverse member, at the intervals of 1.2 m to 1.5 m guards, boarding another member are placed.

Patented Scaffolding:

These scaffoldings are also made from steel; these are ready-made scaffoldings fitted with special couplings and frames. The ready-made scaffoldings are easily available in the market and are ready to use once bought. These brackets are adjustable to the required level and may differ according to the scaffolding type.

Suspended Scaffolding:

Suspended scaffoldings may use in different repair works as well as for painting. It is mainly used in painting as the platform is adjustable to your required length multiples time. Suspended scaffoldings are created by rope or chains, tied to the plate form for the worker, which is then hanged from the roof with the height adjusted at the required level.

Cantilever Scaffolding:

Cantilever scaffolding is also known as Single frame scaffolding; it has limited usage and required various checks before its installation. In this scaffolding type, standards are supported by the chain of needles pulled out from the holes in the wall.
