lamp post tie

[dangeruss]

Saw this little beauty today, my question is what is the wwl of a standard street lamp post.When tieing scaffolds into street furniture is it mandatory to highlight the tie tubes with red and white bunting tape. Also which part of TG20:08 covers lamp post ties ?

Oh yea, one more thing, when using cuplock tied into lamp posts is it ok to omit the internal braces ( scaffolds over 4 lifts ) ???

Haha, oh dear....

Is there a lampost on the other end as well.??

 

[scaftek]

dodgy ties

i once tied a gable job for rendering with a box tie on a tree. anbody do worse than that?

 

[dangeruss]

No

 

[frederik]

Seems a bit of a mishmash anyway Dangeruss, System with T'nF thrown in. Thought systems werent to be mixed.!!! That is an unusual tie tho,only one side being of any use. Its got butts stopping it from going in.

There's a tube just below tie,at a funny angle,is this thru a ring tie?? Standards in the way.

Only joking, Boro Scaffs make pretty decent Labourers.

I think its OK but assuming there is another Lamp Post at the other end I would always take the precaution of plan bracing the structure between them

is there not a hilti tie hiding behind it... that odd tube off on the piss next to it...?
I thought i was a drainage pipe at first.. anyway... client could of requested use of the scaffold to secure the lampost due to works on the ground etc...

Just as well you placed it up the right way Phil, we wouldn't want that to affect the tensile strength of that tie

Rope tie to six inch nail

I think thats the least of the worries looking at that photo

 

[general manager]

In the 60`s all jobs were tied in like that, the only difference was the drain pipes were cast iron not plastic

I think someone posted a picture of it.

An all too common site round these parts Dangeruss, string and all sorts round chimney heads and down pipes. I assumed the angled butts were being used to push the job back in an attempt to stiffen it.

 

[phil181]

This the one mate?

 

[aom]

haha, brilliant. That was it, do you think the pin in the middle will hold that branch?:laugh:

 

[phil181]

Don't worry mate that's a load bearing branch...
