Rebar Scaffold
Rebar Scaffolds are used to access formwork or wall
rebar without the need for wall ties.
Scaffold stability is maintained by widening the base
and using pressure ties against the existing wall.
If counterweights/ballasts are required for lateral stabil-
ity, the counterweights/ballasts are to be placed at
every bay and uniformly distributed along the length of
the scaffold.
When base collars are used, the counterweight must
be supported above the base collar level.
Rebar scaffolds can be craned or lifted similar to other
scaffolds. Temporary braces are required to provide
structural integrity during the lifting process. For more
information regarding temporary bracings and lifting
methods, see 'Lifting by crane' section.
up to 4.2 m platform height
At a maximum height of 4.2m, the minimum width of the
rebar scaffold base is 1.4m.Additionally, pressure ties
are required directly underneath the top decked level at
every bay as shown below.
over 4.2 m platform height
Based on Model Building Code (Musterbauordnung),
scaffolds with height of more than 5m must be accessi-
ble via stairway access. Horizontal plan braces are
required to ensure lateral stability of the rebar scaffold.
At a maximum decked level of 8m above the base lift,
the minimum required pressure ties must be utilized
beneath the planking level of 6m above the base lift as
shown below.
