17. AUSTRALIAN SCAFFOLDS PAST PROJECTS Our experience goes right back to 1974. Australian Scaffolds have been in the building and construction industry for generations. And like many industries, there have been significant changes during this time. Improvements in health safety have been dramatic and as a result, many lives saved. Other significant changes over time include; computer-aided design, aerated concrete, robotic equipment, drone technology, and communication. Improvements in building technology in design, engineering, and construction have completely changed building methodology. Today’s build times were unimaginable only 10 years ago. In the future will see 3D printed houses, transparent aluminum, self-healing concrete, robotic construction, smart bricks and many more.  However, despite the improvements somethings will never change. Builders and project managers still require more than ever, highly skilled and experienced contractors to get the job done on time, on budget, and with minimal site disruption. Experienced contractors with innovative solutions that do not compromise on quality or safety are critical to meeting ever faster construction programs.

18. TALLOWA DAM 1974 We are very proud of our family involvement in the building and construction industry in Australia. We have obstacles where others could not. In the early 1970s, Neil and George Butlin were contracted to make changes to the spillway to the under-construction Tallowa Dam. Developed by the Snowy Hydro Authority and built by Civil & Civic (later bought out by Lendlease). Other contractors were unable to create a safe and practical solution to access the steeply inclined spillway work face. Our solution involved floating a barge to the top of the dam wall. Lowering a lightweight aluminum modified scaffold onto two steel rail tracks. The equipment moved up and down by an electric winch and powered by a diesel generator. To this day, 45 years later, the Snowy Hydro Authority and Lendlease are still active customers of Australian Scaffolds. always overcome

Our experience goes right back to 1974 and we know, no matter how fast or how many things change, some things will always stay the same.

20. TO BUY OR RENT SCAFFOLDING So, you’re beginning a new construction or renovation project, and you’re trying to determine whether to buy or rent scaffolding. Is scaffolding hire is right for you, or if you should purchase your scaffolding for the project. For commercial and industrial jobs, it can be hard to understand what will be more cost-effective. Should you rent light duty aluminum scaffold products, or invest in your own steel scaffolding, acrow props, edge protection, and other such products? In this article, we’ll help you understand a few of the factors that may determine whether buying or renting scaffolding may be right for you. Let’s begin now, and discuss all of the factors that may affect your decision.

21. WHAT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER THE LENGTH OF YOUR PROJECT Most of the time, we recommend renting scaffolding for any project that will take three months or less. It doesn’t make sense to search for trestles for sale or to buy scaffolding for a project that’s this short – it’s just not cost- effective. THE AMOUNT OF SCAFFOLDING YOU NEED If you are undertaking a very large job, it may be more economical to rent scaffolding materials and equipment, compared to purchasing it. STORAGE FOR YOUR SCAFFOLDING This is another important consideration when thinking about purchasing scaffolding. If you rent scaffolding, your rental partner will disassemble it and take it away to their own storage facility after your project is done.

22. YOUR OVERALL BUDGET In the short term, renting scaffolding is cheaper, which allows you to spend more money on other parts of your project, and invest in the other tools and materials that you may need for your job. This is ideal if you are on a tight budget. YOUR ABILITY TO ASSEMBLE AND DISMANTLE YOUR OWN SCAFFOLDING This is the final consideration, and one of the most important. A scaffold hire service is responsible for the assembly and disassembly of a scaffolding installation, in most cases. They arrive, set up the scaffold properly, and follow Australian standards and regulations for safety and proper setup. Read our article on advanced scaffolding.  Turn to a third-party scaffolding company to make sure that your scaffolding is safe, and professionally installed. You can’t put a price on the safety of your workers!

42. ACROW PROPS Australian Scaffold has a complete range of Acrow Props for sale.We deliver Australia wide. An Acrow prop is a telescopic tubular steel piece of construction equipment and is used as a temporary support. Acrow props are known by several names including shore prop, acro prop, acro jack, adjustable prop and post shores. Height adjustable by a wide diameter screw thread which is on the outside of the tube. The use of a screw thread means that the props are able to be tightened when already in place, which allows the user to adjust the load that each one bears. The safe working load (SWL) that each Acrow Prop can bear depends on the size.

43. Acrow Prop Inner What Is An Acrow Prop? An Acrow prop is a telescopic tubular steel piece of construction equipment. It is used as a temporary support. Acrow props are known by several names including shore prop, acro prop, acro jack and post shores. They are height adjustable by a wide diameter screw thread which is on the outside of the tube. The use of a screw thread means that the props are able to be tightened when already in place, which allows the user to adjust the load that each one bears (adjustable load bearing). The safe working load (SWL) that each Acrow Prop can bear depends on the size . The SWL decreases as the prop is extended. Uses Acrow props are used mainly for shoring to provide temporary support during building repair or alteration work for overhead structures during construction. A typical use is to support an existing vertical beam whilst supports are removed or restored. Strongboys are used when masonry itself is to be supported; the strongboy is positioned into the bed joints.

44. The base and top plates of Acrow props have a 150mm x 150mm surface area, so they are great for supporting a vertical load but are at risk of toppling if there is any sideways force. If this is a possibility, props should be strutted or braced with scaffolding tubes. Although the original Acrow prop was only envisioned for vertical support, the range has since been expanded. Shoring ‘push and pull’ props with swivelling footplates are used to support concrete formwork. Trench struts are used for shoring horizontal trench work. These are similar, but have a ‘claw’ form to their baseplates. GENERAL INFORMATION If you divide the weight to be held by the kN capacity of the prop this will tell you how many props you need. Adding bracing to a propping system will increase the capacity the propping can 101.971621298 kilograms – force. Always seek the advice of a professional before undertaking any propping/shoring projects.
