Now when you walk on the street and see houses being built, you can see different types of scaffolding. There are many kinds of scaffolding products and types, and each scaffolding has different functions. As a necessary tool for construction, scaffolding protects the safety of workers very well, so what other functions does scaffolding have?
First. What is scaffolding?
Scaffolding refers to various supports set up at the construction site for workers to operate and solve vertical and horizontal transportation. A common term in the construction industry, it refers to the use of exterior walls, interior decoration, or places with high floor heights that cannot be directly constructed on construction sites. It is mainly for construction workers to work up and down or for the maintenance of peripheral safety nets and the installation of components at high altitudes. To put it bluntly, it is to build a frame. The materials used to make scaffolding are usually: bamboo, wood, steel pipes, or synthetic materials. Some projects also use scaffolding as templates. In addition, it is also widely used in advertising, municipal administration, traffic roads and bridges, mining, and other departments.
The main functions of scaffolding
1. Enable construction workers to work in different parts.
2. A certain amount of building materials can be stacked and transported.
3. Ensure the safety of construction workers during high-altitude operations.
4. Ensure that construction workers have the necessary footholds for construction at high altitudes.
5. Provide peripheral protective frames for high-altitude construction workers.
6. Provide a platform for unloading for high-altitude construction workers.
Second. How to choose scaffolding
1. Pay attention to whether the accessories are complete. The built scaffolding occupies a large area, so it is usually sold in the form of unpacked and packaged accessories. The lack of any kind of accessories in a set of scaffolding will cause it to be unable to be built normally. For example, if the docking buckle connecting the two vertical poles is missing, the main body of the scaffolding cannot be built. Therefore, when purchasing, pay attention to whether the accessories in a set are complete, and you can check them according to the given accessories table.
2. Consider whether the overall design is reasonable. The use of scaffolding is to lift objects or people of a certain weight to a specified height. In this process, it is necessary to consider whether the scaffolding can bear the weight. Generally speaking, from a mechanical point of view, the overall design of the scaffolding and the good connectivity of each point can reflect whether it has a good load-bearing capacity. Therefore, when choosing a scaffold, you should consider whether its overall design is reasonable to choose a scaffold with sufficient load-bearing capacity.
3. Observe the surface material and appearance. Scaffolds are usually produced using steel pipes. The scaffolds that have just been produced have a consistent overall glaze color and good flatness and smoothness. If there are no cracks, stratification, or dislocations to the naked eye, and no burrs or indentations can be felt from top to bottom with the hand, such a scaffold is worth choosing.
