  1. 7 Advantages of Using Scaffolding for Construction

  2. Introduction • Scaffolding is an integral part of the construction industry and makes life easier for workers. In spite of being around for a long time, it remains a valuable and life-saving structure for workers regardless of the size of the construction. • Safety apart, scaffolding also makes the task of construction easier. You could be a construction firm building large commercial structures or a small builder constructing homes, scaffolding is a must and makes life easy for you. • It also bears mentioning that it also quickens the pace of construction which can help a firm beat tight deadlines. • In keeping with that, here we look seven advantages of using scaffolds when building, renovating or repairing any structure.

  3. 7 Advantages of Using Scaffolding for Construction 1. Enables easy access Construction, along with the various other activities it involves, becomes a whole lot tougher if access to any part is absent or limited. This is a major conundrum addressed by scaffolding as it allows unhindered access to any part of the structure. This is immensely useful when the said structure is a tall building and where support is important. 2. Provides perfect balance In addition to accessibility, the other advantage of scaffolding is the balance. There are a lot of precision tasks in construction that require workers to be at their deftest. That is only possible when a worker is put on a firm footing, which is something that scaffolding does brilliantly. 

  4. Cont.. 3. Ensures safety Safety is among the top advantages of scaffolding in construction and few would argue against it. Depending upon the task at hand, construction workers might be required to work at dizzying heights (100 feet or more). The exact height of the scaffolding is a function of the number of floors a building has. With scaffolding, workers are ensured a safe working surface. 4. Boosts productivity One of the less apparent advantages of scaffolding is an increase in overall productivity. This is a direct benefit of the greater efficiency that results from the increased safety and access that are provided by scaffolds.

  5. Cont.. 5. Offers easy assembly & dismantling Contrary to popular perception, assembling and dismantling scaffolding does not take time. In fact, they are simple to assemble and disassemble and save a lot of time. For builders, who are forever battling construction deadlines, anything that can save time is more than welcome. Scaffolding firms do just that by taking the least amount of time to put up and take down scaffolds. 6. Acts a bridge Construction involves a number of activities where workers might need to take a long and winding route to access a certain point. This is a huge waste of time and makes workers unnecessarily tired as well. Scaffolding works around this problem by offering numerous bridging points which significantly reduce the distance that workers need to cover. 

  6. Cont.. 7. Lasts for a long time Scaffolds last for a long time, like really long. While wooden scaffold is slowly going out of fashion, they too can last for a really long time. Steel, however, is the clear winner when it comes to lifespan. The more important thing here is that it manages to last long while also offering a high level of security. • If you’d like to know more about scaffolding companies in Essex, do get in touch us.
