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.

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
