Interview Question & Answers regarding Scaffolding I Component of Scaffolding I Types of Scaffolding
Definition of Scaffolding
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.
What is the purpose of scaffolding?
Scaffold, in building construction, temporary platform used to elevate and support workers and materials during the construction, repair, or cleaning of a structure or machine; it consists of one or more planks of convenient size and length, with various methods of support, depending on the form and use.
Types of scaffolding that are used in construction
Single scaffolding. Also referred to as or Brick Layers Scaffolding, Single scaffolding is often used in brick masonry works
Double Scaffolding
Steel scaffolding
Cantilever scaffolding
Suspended scaffolding
Trestle scaffolding.
List of Scaffolding Components:
Standards
Ledgers
Transoms
Scaffold Tubes
Scaffold Couplers
Adjustable Base Plates
Diagonal Braces
Toe Boards.
List of Scaffolding Components:
The standards also known as uprights; they are perpendicular tubes that shift the entire weight of the structure to the ground where they lean on a square base plate to scatter the weight.
Ledgers are flat tubes that join between the standards.
Transoms lean on the ledgers at the right angles. Major transoms are positioned next to the standards; they support the standards that are in place and give support for the boards. To render additional support for the boards, intermediate transoms are placed between the main transoms.
Other Basic Components of the Scaffolding
Scaffold tubes are generally made of aluminium or steel though there is composite scaffolding that utilises fibril-wound tubes of glass fibre in a polyester or nylon matrix due to the high cost of composite tube, which is normally used only when there is a danger from overhead electric cables that can’t be cut off.
Scaffold Couplers
Couplers are fittings that hold the tubes together. The most familiar are known as scaffold couplers and there are three basic types, which are Putlog Couplers, Right-angle Couplers and Swivel Couplers.
Adjustable Base Plates
You can select from different height-adjustable base plates that come with strong and self-cleaning round threads to adjust to the ground. It comes with colour and notch markings to render safeguard against over-winding.
Diagonal Braces
The diagonal braces with wedge locks further support the basic structure comprising of vertical standards and ledgers. Additionally, their high connection standards assist special structures.
Toe Boards
Between vertical standards, toe boards are placed. Toe boards are obtainable in aluminium, steel or wood. The toe board of steel lowers the fire hazard and also lasts long. Because of its design, there are no openings or gaps between the deck and the toe board.
Decks/ Platform
Decks are also referred as planks and they are available in aluminium frame with plywood board and hot-dip galvanised steel. Decks are a structural component and so ledgers aren’t needed at the deck level, which not only saves cost but also weight.
What is the maximum height for a guardrail?
The top edge height of top rails, or equivalent guardrail system members, are 42 inches (107 cm), plus or minus 3 inches (8 cm), above the walking-working surface.
For construction work, the top guardrail should be a minimum of 950mm above the working platform and any gap between the top rail and the intermediate rail should not exceed 470mm.
The height of the top rail for scaffolds manufactured and placed in service after January 1, 2000 must be between 38 inches (0.9 meters) and 45 inches (1.2 meters).
What are five requirements for scaffolding?
safe working load / load class. maximum leg loads. maximum tie spacing both horizontal and vertical and tie duty. details of additional elements such as beamed bridges, fans, loading bays etc, which may be a standard configuration or specifically designed.
What is a scaffold tag?
A scaffolding tag is signage that is placed onto erect scaffolding and used to indicate whether it is compliant with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations. By tagging equipment, workers know if the scaffolding is safe to use and that it has been inspected and to a high standard.
• Red Tags
This indicates that the scaffold is unsafe or that it is an incomplete scaffolding structure and therefore it should not be used
• Green Tags
This indicates that scaffolding is safe and ready to use, so construction work and repairs can go-ahead
• Yellow tag - "CAUTION” tag(s), will replace all green "Safe Scaffold" tag(s) whenever the scaffold has been modified to meet work requirements, and as a result could present a hazard to the user. This tag indicates special requirements for safe use.
