Guidelines for Scaffolding Erection Standards that Construction Companies Must Follow

This article will sort out the current mainstream Scaffolding Erection standards for construction companies, and analyze them in combination with common product systems such asRinglock Scaffolding, Cuplock Scaffolding, Kwikstage Scaffold, etc., to help companies improve construction quality while ensuring safety.

1. Preparation before scaffolding
Before erecting any form of Construction Scaffolding, the construction party must clarify the following preparation links: 

Select qualified Scaffolding Materials and Building Materials;

Clarify the working height and load requirements, and determine the use of Steel Scaffolding or Pipe Scaffolding and other types;

Check in advance whether the site ground meets the support structure requirements;

Use standardized Scaffolding Parts and Scaffolding Components to ensure interface matching.

2. Mainstream scaffolding systems and erection specifications
The common scaffolding systems on the market currently include the following:

(1). Ringlock Scaffolding System
Ringlock Scaffolding is widely used in large projects due to its efficient and fast erection method. It mainly consists of Ringlock Scaffold, Ringlock Scaffolding Ledger, Ringlock Scaffolding Standard and Ringlock Scaffolding Accessories. According to the Ringlock Scaffolding Standard, all accessories must meet the national standards for shear resistance, torsion resistance, etc.

(2). Cuplock Scaffolding / Cup Lock Scaffolding
Cuplock Scaffolding is a system suitable for medium and high-rise construction. It has a simple connection method and high construction efficiency. It is suitable for projects that require large-scale erection. The specification requires that the connection between the main poles should be firm and must be double locked when used with Scaffolding Clamps.

(3). Kwikstage Scaffold
Kwikstage Scaffold is commonly used in the European and American markets and is a detachable modular system. The standard stipulates that its bottom support structure must use an adjustable base and ensure that the Scaffold Tube and Scaffold Plank meet the load standards.

3. Key accessories and safety settings
During the construction process, the company must configure a complete set of Scaffolding Accessories, such as:

Scaffolding Ladder: used for safe up and down passage;

Scaffolding Tower: used for high-altitude work points;

Scaffold Clamps: ensure that the connection between different structures is firm;

Scaffold Ringlock: a ring lock that provides stable support for the Ringlock System Scaffolding;

Ringlock Scaffolding Stairs: used to build vertical structures for high-rise passages.

All accessories must undergo strength testing before leaving the factory and meet national and industry safety standards.

4. Balance between construction cost and benefit
Although the high-standard scaffolding system has a slightly higher Scaffolding Cost, it has obvious advantages in safety, efficiency and life. In the long run, the use of standardized Scaffold Plank, Scaffolding Pipe and high-quality accessories will help reduce the risk of accidents and reduce maintenance costs.

In addition, with the segmentation of market demand, light products such as Home Scaffolding are gradually emerging, providing more possibilities for interior decoration and small-scale construction.

5. Summary: Standards determine safety, and specifications determine efficiency
Standardized scaffolding is not only an important measure to ensure the safety of construction workers, but also the basis for enterprises to establish a good engineering brand. It is recommended that construction companies strictly abide by national and industry scaffolding standards, choose regular suppliers, and use high-quality Ringlock Scaffolding Components and Scaffolding Parts to achieve both construction efficiency and safety.
