Tie Your Scaffolding Correctly: Tips For Good Anchoring Of Facade Scaffolding

After analysing in our first two weeks the need to use an appropriate safety footwear and the prevention of accidents encouraging the wearing of high visibility garments correctly, for today we have prepared an analysis on the correct anchorage and anchorage of scaffolds to the facade.
Let's go by parts. The first thing we must do, during the assembly process of the scaffolding and roofing in Essex, is to fix the place where we are going to tie the structure. Logically, and also for regulatory issues, we cannot carry out the anchoring on any element that does not correspond to the facade's own structure. The reason for this is to eliminate any possibility of the scaffold suffering any movement since it is not 100% stable on its own. Now, the mooring will be done in the following way: once the mooring arrangement has been analysed, we must drill a hole in the structure, trying to damage as little as possible the material of which it is composed.
Once we have made our mooring point, what we will do is introduce a nylon block 14 ⌀ (diameter), on which we will fix the eyebolt that will be attached to a hooked tube on which the scaffold will finally be fixed through a bridle A rough way, this is the way to anchor the scaffolding to a structure, but also, technically, we must take into account a series of essential requirements without which we will not carry out the process correctly:

• We must mount the moorings evenly distributed along the entire scaffolding facade.
• At the last level of the scaffolding, it is important to place moorings on all the uprights.
• We recommend placing scaffolding fixators on the vertical strut, and when it is not possible to place them as close as we can.
• For scaffolding up to 25 meters high without any type of coating, usually, a mooring is required in every 24 square meters. In the event that the scaffold is covered with a wind-permeable network, the ties must be placed every 12 square meters.
• For scaffolding with heights greater than 25 meters or for denser coatings, it is necessary to perform specific calculations.
• Finally, remember that the diagonals must be placed in 4 scaffolding modules.
