Got a flying shore to start soon, never done one before.
Have a pretty good idea in my head how i am going to do it but Any advise + tips would be helpfull.

is it better to run the middle of the beams up so when you strike your temp scaffold it pushes a bit more on the screw jacks?
I know these are drawing jobs, but can these be done in alloy or steel beams?
Or are they generally allways steel?
Apparently they both take the same loads but in my eyes is bull **** as i have seen a haki beam snap!
Cheers

Yes drawing is being done, but by a building firms own engineer, and we all know how **** they can be compared to those done by ex scaff's!
 
Erect it to the drawing mate, can't go wrong...

I could do it off my own back but obviously will do job to drawing.

I just wondered if running the beams up to the middle is a good idea or will it put to much stress on the walls?
Surely if beam work was totally level the screw jacks would have to be extra tight??? to the point of smashing them round with a tube lol

I may be wrong , haki beams for light use only (as per manufactures specs) ,strength in depth ASP ,X beam best option ??
What is the span ?
 
The ledgers should deviate, up towards the centre of the shore this is called creating a camber once the struts are removed the scaffold will lock against the structue either side.

This scaffold requires a design under TG 20:08.

20 ft i think mate aint seen it yet to be honest.
X beams are great even though there alloy there still weighty and do a fantastic job on bridging

Mate, with all due respect, if you have to ask questions like this then..

1, You're not an 'Erection Specialist'
2, You are not competent to carry out advanced shoring work.
3, You need to get professional advice.

Exactly as I thought mate cheers.
Wouldn't even put a tempory lift in for the beam work without being given a drawing to be honest.

I wonder how they work out how much pressure the wall can take though especially if your doing more than one on the same wall!
surely to much stress could push ropey brickwork back intowards the cavity???

Not much I haven't done in 15 years of Scaffolding, but this is a new one to me, gonna be interesting

The name is more of a joke but if I am being honest and not big headed there aint nothing I couldn't do with a tube and fitting

Congratulations.

Actually I've done a bit of scaffolding myself - Including a flying shore many moons ago.

There's nothing particularly hard about them and only really look impressive once the slab beneath has been demolished.

Good luck with your forthcoming project anyway. Make sure you post some photos. I'm a little suprised why anyone would use a tubular shore when a steel work frame would be slightly quicker and more cost effective though....
