Flying Shore bit of advise

[aussiebob]

Hi Alan

I thought your name rang a bell, we must have crossed paths at some stage back then. In the 80's I had a Labour only firm supplying to GKN, EPL, and GB's, the three guy's I mainly worked with back then was, Mick Smith, Chris Walton and Colin Loveday.

In 2006 / 07 I mistakenly had taken a "Site Managers" position with GB's and worked along side Chris Walton again. Chris is fine however, he will never change, I'm sure you must have worked with him on Bow.

GB's are a shadow of themselves and have lost the plot in regards labour control. I will say no more about that .

During that time I got a call from a recruitment firm in Dubai and I am sure the lady said the firm looking for staff was called "Westminster" and I did talk with a Manager / Director from them, maybe that was you, small world as we know.

My name is Bob Linton, lived and worked in Oz for 15 years hence the nick name.

Good Luck, Bob

Hi Bob
Chris is now with GB as an Estimating Manager. Good Guy, good fun to work with, knew him on Bow and have remained in contact.

GB no more!! HARSCO now, I am sure that will become the brand name we can all aspire to be part of??

It may have been Kevin Clifford you spoke with he is the MD & Owner at Westminster.

Who you with in Oz, how is it there at the moment? the industry is on its nees in the UK, we are doing OK here but as always could do with more.
be lucky
Alan

I have only seen Flying Shores done out of tube....No Beams? Raking Shores can be done in Beams. Like many, I done a Flying shore for the Assessed Route to Advanced Scaffolding about 10 years ago and that was all tube. A Flying shore is basically a Hoist Tower lying on its side with the heel * toe Bracing...All Doubles Though and have your doubles the correct way round on the top and bottom ledgers so the gate is taking the load. Yes have a Camber in your ledgers so constantley pushing into the Walls. I think Scaff369 is on the right track 2 inches camber over 20 ft. As said before by many, use a drawing by a Certified Scaff Engineer and your covered. Good Luck.
