Just use a few pallets bought from a wholesaler of 'Fosters lager' for Kentledge, then when the job is ready to be stripped, i will be up there like a shot, no Pay required, Kentledge salvage will suffice.

Well boy's another big thank you from aom regarding this kentlidge. Picked up 4 tanks from the local fishfarm who were glad to get rid then the contractors who were struggling to get a hose long enough to pump water from a new bunded tank to a burn pumped the water straight into these tanks. Worked an absolute treat. Thanks again.

it is kind of addictive aom and a goldmine of info
I love educating myself even at my age and this forum is the university of scaffolding, everybody a teacher, everybody a pupil, with a few comedians thrown in for good measure, where else would you get it. Oh' and I must'nt forget Big Rig and his imposter for their contribution in keeping us amused on quiet nights.

I would think if this was exposed to wind loads then an engineer would have to calculate the kentledge and it sounds pretty high profile so a design would be the wise way to go.

Morning Guys,
Sorry a little misquote of the regulations from ISL I feel. Allowing 25% more in water kentledge makes little difference if there is a hole in the bottom of your container.
I have used loose fill be it gravel or water as kentledge many times that said there is a requirement that was in BS5973 and is still in TG20:13, 3.9.2 para 3 which states:
"Kentledge should preferably be of solid construction. However, if it is made up of materials that can flow, e.g. water or sand, the container should be of a construction that will not lead to catastrophic loss of kentledge if the container is ruptured, e.g. it should be containerised so that a rupture can only lead to a loss of 20% of kentledge."

You Can Get IBC's which are 1m square and hold 1000 ltrs which is a ton. You can get them from any farming suppliers or try ebay they are always advertised on there. Good Luck.
