Layher’s systems offer a persuasive combination of rapid assembly, dependable weather protection and attractive appearance for constructing a temporary loading hall
 The brand promise made by Layher is the expression of a brand philosophy that it has been living by for over 65 years. More speed, more safety, more proximity, more simplicity and more future: values with which Layher strengthens its customers’ competitiveness in the long-term. With its innovative systems and solutions, Layher works relentlessly on making scaffolding construction even simpler, even more economical and, above all, even safer.
The Layher Cassette Roofs have established themselves as a firm favourite at construction sites for conversion, renovation and restoration. The structure and all the equipment is protected during the conversion or roof repair and normal business operations can continue under a secure roof.
For building a temporary loading hall, scaffolding and protective systems from Layher were the optimum solution: unlike with drawn-out construction work or expensive one-off products, it was possible not only to build the interim hall quickly and with precise adaptation to the individual situation, but also to provide dependable protection from rain and snow together with an attractive appearance.
Application of Layher Cassette Roof For uninterrupted production work, halls are often required at short notice: for temporary roofs over outdoor sites used as storage areas, for protection of machinery and goods, or for a temporary production hall. Interim solutions can be put up both cost-efficiently and safely using scaffolding and protective systems from Layher. For example when building a loading hall as an annexe to an existing building. To allow work to continue regardless of the weather and even during the winter, a combination of Allround Scaffolding, protect system and a cassette roof were used. Their simple and logical assembly sequences and their bolt-free connections ensure rapid assembly and effective weather protection for the customer. For an indoor area without supports and hence fully usable, an efficient solution was required for the temporary roof: the cassette roof from Layher. The enormous load-bearing capacity of the system, using rainproof and walk-on roof cassettes, provides effective protection from adverse weather conditions. A few weight-optimized components plus an intelligent wedge connection also permitted easy, fast and flexible assembly. The individual bays were assembled on the ground. The complete truss bays were then swiftly lifted by crane into the required position thanks to their high fitting precision. During assembly of the supporting structure for the about 40 metres long and about 25 metres wide temporary hall, the scaffolding erectors deliberately used – apart from a steel profile beam structure at the transition to the immediately adjoining hall – Allround scaffolding from Layher. The bolt-free wedge-head connection of this leading modular system ensured rapid assembly, while ballasting with appropriate concrete weights afforded the necessary stability. Adjustments to the requirements on the spot were also possible without any problem. The flexible and strong Allround Scaffolding also allowed gable walls to be made with wide passage openings for unobstructed fork-lifter traffic. As a durable wall covering, the erectors finally assembled the Layher Protect system, which optimally caters for the stringent requirements of contemporary environmental protection, noise prevention, weather protection and pedestrian safety. The system solution consists of dustproof cassette elements easily fitted to the scaffolding. Its exceptional acoustic insulation properties mean that the system can also be used for temporary noise control walls, for example to reduce the noise generated at construction sites in urban areas or at major events. The scaffolding team built in just two weeks, using Layher scaffolding and protective systems, a loading hall that was both sturdy and practical – because the light cassettes of the cassette roof and of the protect system create daylight conditions even underneath a roof. Thanks to its top-quality appearance, the temporary hall solution from Layher is not only suitable for factory premises, but also ideal for residential areas or in inner cities. The cassette roof is a non- insulated, rainproof covering under which condensation may from and drip depending on the outside weather. The connection between the cassettes is not sealed and rainwater may penetrate due to unfavourable wind conditions.
