Types of Scaffolding Platforms in Shrewsbury
The use of scaffolding is easily the safest and most efficient way of undertaking refurbishment and renovation projects on various levels of a building. Regular household maintenance through to large scale projects on industrial or historical buildings such as churches and listed properties can benefit from the use of scaffolding to complete the work. At PMP Scaffolding we can supply and erect different types of scaffolding Shrewsbury depending on your needs and the size of the building being worked on.
There are two main types of scaffolding platforms that are commonly installed when looking to allow builders to effectively work on all levels of the exterior of your property.
Self Supporting Platforms
This type of scaffolding is supported from the ground through poles and frames to offer the highest levels of strength, reliability and sturdiness. Workers can stand on the various platforms located at differing levels of the property safe in the knowledge that they are being securely supported from below.
The platforms each have guardrails with a top, middle and lower bar to further improve safety along with mesh guards and panels to protect all those below the structure should anything fall through from a great height.
Suspension Scaffolding Platforms
This is more commonly used on high rise buildings where it is not viable for regular self supporting scaffolding to be installed. The platform is supported from an overhead structure rather than from below and is moved through the use of ropes and pulleys.
Workers should always consider wearing body harnesses to protect from falling in addition to hard hats to protect against the possibility of any falling objects.
