Layher’s present product characteristics and services help customers achieve long-term success and increase the profitability of their companies. Layher Scaffolding has been established as a synonym for modular scaffolds on the market. The Allround and SpeedyScaf Scaffolding offers unsurpassed versatility for construction sites, the chemical industry, power plants, aircraft, shipyards, the event sector, theatres and arenas.
Layher 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 strong, structurally rigid one. The face of the wedge head is now precisely positioned against the standard.
To transfer pulling force, every frame is secured by locking pins or bolts to each other. This way, the tower can be assembled on the ground and placed by crane. The scaffolding around the new office/business/apartment complex using SpeedyScaf equipment from Layher was “roundly” praised.
Application of Layher Scaffold for high-rise building
The Construction of a Façade Scaffold about 90 metres high is the big challenge of this project (Construction of Residential Building) into the sky. The skyscraper also lives up to its name. The corner and projected balcony of the building is the challenge of this project. During the construction, the biggest challenge was posed by the recessed balconies on every second side of the building. Providing scaffolding around these drew on all the scaffolding erectors’ experience and the Systems’ flexibility. But this problem, too, was quickly overcome with special structures. Attach the necessary anchoring continually as the scaffolding assembly progresses.
Before starting the Construction of Scaffolding, we need to confirm the surface load-bearing capacity and lay a suitable load-distributing base. These bases must extend over both uprights. When positioning, stay within the maximum clearance from the wall; otherwise, there is the risk of falling. Following the design is sometimes difficult due to site conditions; stiffen the scaffolding with a vertical, diagonal brace.
By bracing the work scaffolding vertically with SpeedyScaf lattice beams, even the increased wind loads could be transferred without putting unnecessary strain on the structure.
With Layher SpeedyScaf Systems, the scaffolder had the ideal equipment for the economical provision of scaffolding around the façade of 90 metres. Easy assembly and using a hoist meant that the assembly time was just five weeks. Thanks to the outstanding quality of Layher’s products, the lower assembly frames and the spindles can withstand enormous loads. The bearing capacity of individual spindles (baseplate) is subjected to a weight of up to 5 tons.
Especially on irregular designs due to different corner sizes, the Allround/Speedyscaf Scaffolding impresses with its flexibility and safe and easy handling. With its advantages like screw-less quick and self-explanatory assembly, form-fitting and solid connection, dimensional stability and rigidity, scaffolders quickly create safe workspaces for the following assembly sections, even in the highest altitudes – and under high loads. After all, heavy stones have to be stored temporarily on the scaffold during the Construction/renovation.
Layher is the leading scaffolding company on the market right up to today, its extensive range of parts makes even round scaffolding quick to build. To do so, the scaffolding experts chose short bay lengths to comply with the permitted wall clearances, individually positioning every bay at the appropriate angle – connected to a coupler on the inner standard. This allowed even structures with widely varying radii to be enclosed with scaffolding.
Layher Scaffolding Systems has a suitable solution for all access to fulfil needs on the construction site. Access Landing type stairway towers (External Access/Robust Access deck with ladder (internal access) for a broad spectrum of applications and requirements are created at the site for the hoisting of concrete buckets and passenger hoist and to accommodate and safe Modular Stairway/Access modular, accesses that always fit and that match the system can be constructed [(replacement traditional scaffolding) huge quantities of scaffolding pipes and clamps) are possible by using Allround Scaffold Systems.
The load classes regulate the live load and dead load (theoretical load) on scaffolding, which must match the type of work to be performed. All live load effects must be considered separately, and effects must be superimposed.
The system-based advantages of Layher Scaffolding have proven it to be the more economical solution in all fields of scaffolding use (industrial construction, power station, shipbuilding, facade work, construction sites, stair towers, suspended scaffolding structures, aircraft maintenance, sub-structure for podiums and stands, theatre scenery and trade fare construction as well as for strong shoring and support structure)
