Scaffolding FAQ

The best scaffold system depends on your project height, load demand, geometry, and duration. Frame scaffolds suit repetitive facades. Tube-and-fitting systems adapt to irregular structures. Suspended platforms are mandatory for high-rise access above 24 storeys. Our engineering team evaluates these parameters and recommends the optimal configuration.

Every scaffold exceeding 4 metres requires design approval by a Professional Engineer, erection by MOM-certified scaffold erectors, and handover inspection before use. We manage all regulatory requirements including PE endorsement, BCA submission, and weekly competent-person inspections.

Steel delivers higher load capacity (up to 6.0 kN/m²) and lower deflection, ideal for heavy-duty construction and long-term use. Aluminium offers 50–60% weight reduction, enabling manual handling and faster assembly, perfect for interior fit-out and maintenance with restricted floor loading.

MOM mandates weekly inspections by a competent person for scaffolds in continuous use. Re-inspection is required after every weather event, structural alteration, or impact. We provide weekly inspection services under maintenance contracts with photographic documentation and corrective-action tracking.

Yes. Every non-standard scaffold, system exceeding 30 metres, or cantilevered configuration requires PE-endorsed structural calculations. Our in-house engineers produce finite-element models, load-path verification, and stability analysis for BCA submission.
