To ensure the safety and reliability of disc-lock scaffolding during use, a series of specifications and requirements must be strictly followed during its erection. The following points are all crucial links in the safety chain and are indispensable:
First, Height Limits and Special Designs for Disc-lock Scaffolding.
The erection height of disc-lock scaffolding should not exceed 24m; this is a basic safety limit. When project requirements exceed this height, simple conventional erection is insufficient to meet safety requirements, and specialized design calculations are necessary. This process requires professional engineering technicians to utilize their extensive knowledge and experience, combined with the specific project conditions, to conduct detailed analysis and calculations of the scaffolding’s structure and stress, ensuring its stability and safety during high-altitude operations.
Second, Strategies for Handling Special Situations with Disc-lock Scaffolding.
In actual construction, special situations often arise, such as the inability to temporarily erect connecting wall components at the lower part of the disc-lock scaffolding. In such cases, we must not blindly proceed with construction but rather adopt scientific and reasonable countermeasures. Multiple rows of scaffolding should be installed on the external expansion tower, with diagonal bracing forming an additional trapezoidal frame on the outer slope. This additional trapezoidal frame acts as a temporary stabilizer, providing extra support and stability to the scaffolding in the event of missing connecting wall components. The additional trapezoidal frame can only be removed, and the normal structure of the scaffolding restored after the upper connecting wall components are erected.
Third, meticulous installation of safety facilities for disc-lock scaffolding.
Safety facilities on the outer side of the working layer of disc-lock scaffolding are a crucial barrier to ensure the safety of construction workers. Toe boards and guardrails should be installed, and a dense safety net should be hung on the exterior of the disc-lock scaffolding. Guardrails should be precisely positioned 1000mm above the working layer; this height effectively prevents accidental falls without affecting the convenience of construction operations. Toe boards should be positioned no more than 180mm above the working layer to prevent small objects from falling and injuring people. The dense safety net further prevents personnel and objects from falling from the exterior, forming a comprehensive safety protection system.
The load-bearing capacity and safety requirements of modular scaffolding are two crucial principles in construction, interconnected and mutually influential. Due to the diversity of product design and manufacturing standards, it is essential to strictly adhere to the manufacturer’s recommendations for use and installation, referring to the product manual and relevant standards. Furthermore, regular maintenance and inspection are indispensable. Regular inspections allow for the timely detection of wear, deformation, and other problems that may arise during scaffolding use, enabling appropriate repair measures to ensure it remains in good working order.
