As a temporary structure, scaffolding is a vital tool in the construction industry. It provides workers with safe access to elevated levels or hard-to-reach places. Due to its flexibility, durability, and strength, Kwikstage scaffolding has firmly found its efficacy in many industry sectors that rely on safe working platforms and the simplistic assembly and dismantling offered by this scaffold solution. We at Disc-O-Scaff are the leading manufacturer of superior-quality Kwikstage scaffolding – the most favourable, versatile, and cost-effective scaffold option.
The Multiple Uses of Kwikstage Scaffolding
Whether the task at hand requires a scaffold tower to build skyscrapers, carry out inspections, do routine building maintenance, or form part of a support structure for installations, when it comes to carrying out tasks or staging at heights, Kwikstage scaffolding is the safest solution and dispels the myth that scaffolding is only used in construction.
- Construction
The most common use of scaffolding is in construction. The modular design of Kwikstage scaffolding makes it the preferred access solution as it has fewer loose parts, allowing for quick assembly and making it easily adjustable to suit the job at hand. Sturdy working platforms, together with additional safety features, such as toe boards and hook-on ladders, enable workers to keep their tools handy and get to higher platforms safely.
- Inspections
Quite often, visual inspections need to be carried out both internally and externally, especially on industrial sites. Kwikstage scaffolding can be both static and mobile, making it easier to carry out inspections of storage vessels, buildings, and electrical work, for example.
- Maintenance and Renovations
As much as it sometimes makes sense to use a ladder for routine maintenance and renovations, it isn’t a safe or practical solution when these jobs need to be carried out at heights. Scaffolding not only allows workers to gain access to all elevated areas but it also provides them with stable and safe working platforms whilst doing so.
- Kwikstage Scaffolding’s Role in Formwork
Falsework is scaffolding that is temporarily created to support the formwork needed to build elevated structures and, more commonly, bridges. The symbiotic relationship between scaffolding and formwork provides construction companies with the means to stabilise and support fresh concrete forms, giving the concrete time to cure. The falsework can be removed carefully without compromising the structure.
- Concerts, Exhibition Stands, and more
The stability provided by the base jacks on Kwikstage scaffolding can easily transform simplistic scaffolds into observation decks, additional concert seating, part of art installations, stage exhibitions, and structured on which to strategically hang lighting for numerous events.
