Scaffold Info
Northern Adelaide, the Fleurieush Peninsula and Victor Harbor Scaffolding, also called scaffold or staging, is a temporary structure used to support a work crew and materials to aid in the construction, maintenance and repair of buildings, bridges and all other man-made structures. Scaffolds are widely used on site to get access to heights and areas that would be otherwise hard to get to. Scaffolding is also used in adapted forms for formwork and shoring, grandstand seating, concert stages, access/viewing towers, exhibition stands, ski ramps, half pipes and art projects.

TYPES OF SCAFFOLDING
Different types of scaffolding have various functions. There are two main characteristics of scaffolding. First, supported types use a system of frames, poles and planks from the base up, with the ground serving as the foundation.
Supported varieties are very common and considered the easiest, cheapest, most convenient and safest way to erect scaffolding. They accommodate multiple tiers from which workers can perform their duties. As supported types scale up, the frames and planks connect by bolts and couplers or from steel tubes held in place by clamps. Hanging brackets connect different levels of scaffolding.
The precise names and terminology used to describe scaffolding types and terminology may differ from Northern Adelaide to the Fleurieu Peninsula to Victor Harbor! Types of scaffolding refer to the interaction between an existing building or structure, the weight supported and the construction.

SCAFFOLD SPECIFICATION & SAFETY
While scaffolding appears to be a relatively straightforward structure, its safe construction and use often relies on sophisticated engineering and interaction of multiple forces. Important specifications of scaffolding include:
- Safety load specifications
- Maximum bay lengths, lift heights, leg loads and tie spacing (horizontal, vertical and tie duty)
- Platform boarding arrangement
- Information of additional elements
- All detail pertinent to the design, installation and use of the scaffolding
SCAFFOLDING INFORMATION
Scaffolding is a network of support frames and planks connected by joints that is temporarily erected to provide workers and their equipment access to the sides of buildings, interior walls and ceilings. Standard scaffolding is built modularly and for easy transport to multiple locations from our Northern Adelaide, the Fleurieu Peninsula and Victor Harbor sites.
It is utilised in adjusted forms for grandstand seating, exhibition stands, film sets, sporting events and formwork and shoring.
The purpose of scaffolding remains the same throughout history: provide laborers access to perform work in an area too high to reach. However, the technology has changed.
Standards for safety, improved materials and stronger designs emerged in the early 20th century, significantly improving dangerous working conditions.
Advances in metallurgy in the first part of the 20th century introduced tubular steel water pipes in place of timber poles, helping to standardize dimensions and improve structural stability.
For the modern history…Daniel Palmer Jones and David Henry Jones led the revolution in scaffolding construction. Several scaffold components developed then are still in prominent use today.
Their “Universal Coupler” which allowed for the construction of scaffolding without using rope, debuted in 1919 and quickly became an industry standard. Diagonal bracings began to appear in scaffolding around the middle of the century, further improving stability, particularly in scaffolding used on tall buildings.
USES FOR SCAFFOLDING
The use and application of scaffolding are vast and diverse, matching numerous work purposes.
Various uses throughout Northern Adelaide, the Fleurieu Peninsula and Victor Harbor building and job sites include:
- Initial construction of a building
- Renovation work to exterior walls, interior walls and ceilings
- Roofing installation, upgrade and repair
- Restoration work on historic buildings and art or sculptures attached
- Window washing
- Window replacements
- Siding work
- Painting and sealing
SELECTION ADVICE
General construction, interior and exterior painting, window washing and roofing are normal applications of scaffolding solutions today. Selection criteria in these areas are based on varying degrees of uniqueness needed for each job. For example, roofing scaffolding requires the necessary scaffolding functions of performing roof work safely.
However, particular climates and work environments narrow the choices. This concept applies to all applications of scaffolding. An expert understanding of scaffolding is necessary as additional features are evaluated for proper selection – Talk to us.
EXAMPLES & ADVICE
Examples of climate and environment considerations are as follows:
- Freezing temperatures – platform materials that are less slick under icy conditions
- Storms – climates with high chance of lightning should use less metal materials
- High Wind – requires extra safety harnessing options
