Scaffolding is also referred as scaffold or staging, which is a provisional structure used for supporting a work team and materials to assist in the construction, repairs and maintenance of buildings, tall residential as well as commercial structures, bridges including all types of manmade structures. Let’s take a look at the basic components that are used in scaffolding.
List of Scaffolding Components:
1. Standards
The standards also known as uprights; they are perpendicular tubes that shift the entire weight of the structure to the ground where they lean on a square base plate to scatter the weight.
2. Ledgers
Ledgers are flat tubes that join between the standards.
3. Transoms
Transoms lean on the ledgers at the right angles. Major transoms are positioned next to the standards; they support the standards that are in place and give support for the boards. To render additional support for the boards, intermediate transoms are placed between the main transoms.
