4 TYPES OF SCAFFOLDING COMMONLY USED IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION

COMMON TYPES OF SCAFFOLDING

a) Brick layer’s Scaffolding or Single Scaffolding
b)Mason’s Scaffolding or Double Scaffolding
c)Steel or Tubular Scaffolding
d)Needle Scaffolding or Cantilever Scaffolding

a) Brick layer’s Scaffolding or Single Scaffolding:
In these  type of scaffolding a series of vertical member made of bamboo or timber, are firmly fixed into the ground in a row parallel to the building wall. These standards are connected to each by a longitudinal horizontal member. The height of the scaffolding is a very high to maintains its the  stability, sometimes diagonal members  are provided. 

b)Mason’s Scaffolding or Double Scaffolding:
This type of scaffolding is commonly used to the case of stone masonry. It is stronger than brick layers scaffolding. The primary differences between brick layer’s scaffolding.

c)Steel or Tubular Scaffolding:
The construction of steel scaffolding is similar to that of brick layer’s and mason’s scaffolding. The primary differences are Instead of using timber. These standards are fixed on a square or round steel plate by means of welding.

d)Needle Scaffolding or Cantilever Scaffolding:
In these  type of scaffolding instead the fixing the standard in the ground, . Platform on which stand are placed is called needle. A needle is a cantilever structure, projected out from the holes in wall.
