....and you also didn't have the media and internet reporting every scaffold collapse mate. Same sh1t different decade that is all apart from we now have more Pokski's
It was not far off a being a beach, it was a birdcage in an old banking hall which had to be suspended above the existing central tiled floor, the bearing strata was sand based which they were aware of and advised the bearing capacity to work to. However, when they removed the timber floating floor make-up, where the base plates where to be located, they found that the sand base was very poor and inconsistent such that they installed a new concrete slab which was suitable for the leg loads, (it was always the intention to install this slab but the original programme had this being done after the scaffold was down, even though i suggested doing it before).
I was looking at using road plates, but given the condition of the "bearing" strata these would have ended up being huge too.
