The article discusses Layher’s approach to reducing scaffolding costs and improving safety through innovative design and lightweight materials. It also showcases the application of Layher’s Allround Multi Talent system in a challenging construction project, highlighting the system’s flexibility, speed, and safety features.

For more than 70 years now, Layher (the name of a German company) has been the undisputed pioneer for top-class scaffolding systems “made in Germany”. With its ideas, this future-looking and highly innovative family-owned company has continually given vital new impulses to scaffolding construction and profoundly influenced developments. But Layher not only means highquality scaffolding, protective and event systems, rolling towers, and ladders; it is also a dependable partner for customers in scaffolding, crafts, construction, industry, and the events business when it comes to outstanding services. Every day, highly qualified and motivated employees are creating “more possibilities” at the highly automated production plant or at the sales subsidiaries in more than 45 countries all over the world.

More Possibilities: Layher Products and Services
Layher’s present product characteristics and services help customers achieve long-term success and increase the profitability of their companies. Layher Allround Scaffolding has been established as a synonym for modular scaffolds on the market. Allround scaffolding offers unsurpassed versatility to be used in construction sites, the chemical industry, power plants, aircraft, shipyards, the event sector, theatres, and arenas.

Layher lightweight: the next dimension in scaffolding
Assembly, dismantling, and transport make up 80 percent of scaffolding service costs. Studies have clearly shown that by reducing component weight, our customers can considerably enhance both their assembly and dismantling performances and use their transport capacities more efficiently. This is where our new Layher Lightweight philosophy comes into play. By using higher-strength steel grades, new production processes, and design improvements, we have succeeded in minimising the weight of the basic components of all-round scaffolding systems without reducing their high load capacities. As part of our integrated system, the lightweight products can also be combined with our previous product versions. Combination approvals are, of course, available.

To make scaffolding even more economical and safer, Layher’s development engineers are constantly working on ingenious new developments. Our focus here is on the influencing factors for assembly performance, such as weight, shape, and the number of components. To achieve this, we constantly search for new materials and new production processes. Just a few additional components also continuously provide our customers with new fields of business, since the utilisation of their material stocks is also a crucial economic factor.

Application of Layher Allround Multi Talent
Layher Allround Shoring TG 60 (the false work frame—even more possibilities) Allround scaffolding uses a simple, unique, and bolt-free connection technology. Sliding the wedge head over the rosette and inserting the wedge into the opening immediately secures the component. There is still sufficient play to secure the other end of the ledger. A hammer blow to the wedge transforms the loose connection into a superbly strong, structurally rigid one. The face of the wedge head is now precisely positioned against the standard.

When renovating the facade and roof of two gymnasiums, their exposed location on a slope was just one of the challenges for the construction company. There were also numerous requirements on the construction site, including the assembly of metre-wide working scaffolding and scaffolding inside and outside. Bridging an adjacent staircase. Partial scaffolding support. Construction of stair towers Selective integration of shoring to support beams. And the complete enclosure of the construction site. In order to tailor the construction precisely to the needs of the construction site, the technical team planned it in 3D using LayPLAN CAD. This enabled intensive coordination of the digital scaffolding model with the client. All-round scaffolding was chosen for implementation. This offers suitable supplementary components for every task, such as the Allround Shoring Frame TG 60, and can also be easily assembled and dismantled by crane. The housing with Protect-System, including noise insulation mats, provides the necessary noise protection, enables heating of the construction sites during the winter months to avoid construction site stops, and, thanks to light cassettes, ensures daylight for the construction work. A systematic solution. enables the construction sites to be heated during the winter months to avoid construction site stops and, thanks to light cassettes, ensures daylight for the construction work.

On the other hand, every requirement on a construction site can be economically implemented using the comprehensive range of Allround components. It doesn’t matter if it’s for geometry adaptations or for adding working levels and stairway towers: compatibility with the Allround system and its wedge-head connection ensure highly flexible shoring construction. In this project, the scaffolding erectors from Marti were not only able to optimally match the shoring structure, about seven metres high, to the shape of the already present binding beams but also to provide the required vehicle access in an economical way using a lattice made from Allround Shoring Frames TG 60 instead of steel beams or lattice beams. The loads were transmitted directly into the adjacent shoring towers. Adjustment at the edge area was achieved in a material-saving way using a bracket, likewise using Allround components.

During assembly of the structure, which was some 250 square metres in size, Allround Shoring TG 60 proved to be not only very fast to build but also very safe. Due to the use of Allround standard material, time-consuming bracing using tubes and couplers or measurement of individual towers to ensure they meet planning requirements, for example, was no longer needed. After the assembly of a single tower, the distance to the next tower results automatically from the positioning of all-round ledgers on the ground. Rectangularity is also assured. The safe assembly sequence for Allround Shoring TG 60 also provides scaffolding erectors with all-round side protection, even without additional components. This allows valid safety regulations to be met in full during shoring construction.
