Methods of Stabilising Scaffolds
Attach the anchor to the structure and then connect it to
the scaffold wall via a tie tube with a proprietary clamp.
Recommendations for Straight
Double Tie
A straight double tie consists of a horizontal tube con-
nected to the inside and outside Ledgers of the scaffold
using Right Angle Clamps, no more than 0.3m horizon-
tally from the Standard. The end of this tube connects
to an appropriate anchor for the surface of the support-
ing structure. To achieve maximum headroom for the
platform below, connect tie and tubes onto the Ledgers.
Note:
Wall anchor not shown.
Single Butress Stabilization
A Buttress is an extension of the primary scaffold.
Install a Buttress to expand the width of the base and to
provide support to the free-standing structure with a 4:1
minimum height to base ratio. Plan brace the buttress
every fourth bay along the façade. Install a butt tie on
the scaffold to prevent it from inclining towards the sup-
porting structure under horizontal forces. The above
illustration is an example of a typical buttress arrange-
ment for a three-lift façade.
