Sterk Systems has supplied its Triangular Bridge scaffolding system for Waveney District Council in Suffolk to improve safety and efficiency in its building maintenance operation.
Previously, maintenance of its housing stock had been carried out on pre-fabricated scaffold towers and lean-in systems but the council was keen to reduce the weight of its scaffolding whilst improving manual handling operations and working conditions for staff.The council's existing mix of aluminium and steel scaffolding systems was heavy and unwieldy and was causing handling problems for maintenance teams.
The erection of the scaffolding required the platform to be lifted into place by rope from a ladder - a difficult and hazardous operation.
After investigating available alternatives, Sterk's Triangular Bridge System was identified as the most user-friendly option.The Triangular Bridge scaffold is light and easy to erect: a 12-metre span weighs less than 50kg and can be erected by two people in 15 minutes.
The length of the scaffold also compares favourably with traditional scaffold towers.
The Triangular Bridge's adjustable supports are positioned against the wall and stabilised before the bridge section is clicked into place and the floor boards, hand rails and end rails installed.
"Erection of the system is very easy and fast," confirms Andy Elvin of Waveney District Council.
"The complete system can be fabricated on the ground and simply winched up the wall - operatives do not have to lift heavy objects, either at height or on the ground".
The council will use the system mainly for roofline replacements such as fascias, soffits and guttering, although it will have many other potential uses, including soil stack and window replacement.
Sterk's system can also be linked to tower and steel pole scaffolding, should the need arise.
"Health and safety considerations must play a large part in any purchase of this type of equipment and I am confident that our risks from manual handling and falls from height have been greatly reduced by moving to the Triangular Bridge System," adds Andy Elvin.
Waveney is the most easterly district in Britain, situated in north-east Suffolk and Waveney District Council serves around 116,500 people.
Designed by Dutch aluminium specialists Artilan, the Triangular Bridge System is made from high quality, lightweight aluminium, with all-round welding to eliminate crevice corrosion.
The system has a wide range of uses, from construction and painting and decorating to roofing, plumbing and theatre productions.
