Scaffolding is used for a variety of activities these days. Here are some of the common:
Cleaning
Workers commonly can stand on scaffolding to clean windows and other parts of skyrise buildings.
Construction
Scaffolding can be crucial for construction, since it allows workers to stand at height on a stable surface. This is especially true for skyscrapers and other highrise structures, but its use is also common for construction work done closer to the ground.
Industrial inspections
For inspections, scaffolding allows inspectors to reach areas they couldn’t otherwise access in order to perform visual inspections or other kinds of NDT testing. Inspectors commonly use temporary structures for internal inspections, like those performed inside huge industrial boilers or pressure vessels, as well as for external inspections. Regardless of the specific inspection, the use of the scaffolding is the same—it allows inspectors to stand at height and conduct various types of testing in order to satisfy inspection requirements.
Maintenance
Inspections are typically the first step in a maintenance process, since they uncover areas that may require maintenance. After inspectors find these areas, maintenance workers will address those defects by standing on scaffolding to perform their work.
Other uses
Various types of scaffolding are also used in:
Art installations
Concert stages
Exhibition stands
