SCAFFOLDINGS (ON SALE / ON RENTAL)
Steel Scaffolding has now a days became the most popular, safe, fast and economical method used in construction industry. There are various different systems of scaffolding since inception. I would brief some of them over here.
BAMBOO (WOODEN) SYSTEM SCAFFOLDINGS
Conventionally, BAMBOO system was introduce for the scaffolding purpose. The system was well running and still it is used at some sites in the market. There are many reasons for cut down of usage of this system. Now a days the construction has gone to peaks. There are many high rise buildings, so there this system has shown found little bit risky. And even government has also banned this system as scaffolding at their sites, only due to risk involved in it. Secondly it takes lot of time for erection & dismantling. Thirdly, the labour cost increases due more time. Fourthly, you required special labourers for erection & dismantling and Finally, on the whole in this system the safety norms are not covered much.
PIPES & COUPLERS
This system was introduce to overcome the difficulties faced in the bamboo system. Due to this system the risk factor has reduce to some level. The system consist of one vertical pipes is to be clamped with one horizontal pipe with the help of couplers. But the drawback of this system was that if the clamps are not tied or fixed properly, then there were chances of accident at times. So, system did not captured the market for longer period.
‘H’ FRAMES SYSTEM SCAFFOLDING
This system was designed in such a way that the problems faced in the above was eradicated due to its prefabrication of horizontal and vertical pipes. There are no clamps required to fix it up. Hence the risk factor is reduced a lot. Secondly, the erection speed is increased as less no. of pipes are to be fixed up rather than PIPES & COUPLERS. Thirdly, during special heights, this scaffolding erection becomes very much risky as the whole weight of ‘H’ is heavy and it is difficult to fix it up at heights.
CUPLOCK SYSTEM SCAFFOLDINGS
The latest and the best option available in the market is CUPLOCK system of scaffolding. It is the safest system of scaffolding at present. It is made out of 40 mm NB scaffolding pipes with special designed cups fabricated at every 500 mm to get optimum strength and support. CUPLOCK system is very versatile in erection & dismantling. You can erect in whatever pattern you want. The cuplock system can be erected in circular way also. The material here in this system in single pipes only, so it is very easy to transport, transfer and erect. It requires less space for storage, no loose members are there which gets misplaced, the locking system here is such designed that no chances of accidents. The life of scaffolding is very long. We can say it pays back in long run.

ADVANTAGES OF CUPLOCK SCAFFOLDING:
Quick fastening of horizontals. Four horizontals can be fastened at one time with firm clamping action of top cup making the joint rigid.
Quick erection and dismantling results in time and labour saving.
Versatile use in construction, demolition or maintenance projects for any type of structure i.e. straight or curved.
Easy erection with no loose components.
Lightweight but high loads carrying capacity up to 57 KN per vertical.
Low maintenance.
Safety with proven track record.
A multi-purpose scaffold system which can be used for all forms of access and support structures in the building and construction industries, shipbuilding, offshore construction and industrial maintenance.
It provides major savings in erection and dismantling times thus minimizing on-site costs. When not in use, its modular construction ensures minimal space requirements for storage.
A unique node point connection allows up to four horizontal members to be connected to a vertical member in one single action - without the use of nuts and bolts or wedges. The locking device is formed by two cups, a fixed lower cup which is welded to the vertical component at pre-located intervals and a sliding upper cup. The forged blade ends of the horizontal components are located into the lower cup, the upper cup is moved down and rotated to secure the components in place and a hammer blow then results in a positive and rigid connection.
It is extremely versatile. It can be erected for straight, curved and circular configuration for both access and support, and also for independant and mobile towers.
With no loose parts and with corrosion protection by hotdip galvanising to British Standard 729, minimum thickness of the zinc coating is 85 microns.
