Beams up right way?

[Wummer]

The job looks like its as per the drawing, the drawing and calcs must have been done by a designer, I presume the designer is qualified , I was told at scaffold school the designer was always right.
That said I know different designers have different ideas about beams ,Alwyn Richards does a very good course . Be good to hear the view of any design engineers on here though

You'll be lucky to get designers to give an open forthright opinion on their competitors schemes. They all seem happy to criticise others work when touting for your business. Although they stop well short of cleaning up their own profession & outing the incompetent companies amidst their ranks.

You know yourself if your erecting a design scaffold , any changes at all you contact the design engineer for approval

I think the word is competent in the hse manuals and theres no law saying I have to have a ticket. As I wont be working on site ,nuclear, offshore Ill stick to my leaners.
Im pleased Dico and Animal having been in the game for 20 years plus are now proper scaffs.:laugh::laugh:

Ok I was mistaken with the word competent because when the revised WAH regs come out it will say QUALIFIED.


Ok I'm a designer I've done my HNC and I can use autocad!



Yippppeee our savour!

Hello Wummer this site

Temporary Structure Projects - MGW Consulting Engineers


That's a nice mixture of system on the cutty sark , is mixing system allowed

The mixing of scaffolding!!??: Now that is another matter Ian!

 

[hopper68]

The beams are on the bottom because you cannot hang off live pipelines , the beams above we're punched up to carry a small lifting frame for supporting two propane gas lines ,you cant see them but they are on the right hand side. The structure is a rack supporting crude and gas lines ...

I'm not getting £500 for giving the calcs Ian sorry. I forgot AOM is doing BRAVEHEART for Halloween again.

 

[cassie]

I would say the beams in the picture are definately upside down.... but.. does it really make that much difference to the structural integrity of the job ?? I think not..

 

[frederik]

Yeah. asked that question earlier,come on you qualified engineers.

 

[scaffoldingsafetyservices]

They kept quiet on the LinkedIn thread aswell.

On what track cause I can't see any design engineer coming on and giving a view. So unless your going to do the calculations Steve and enlighten us I'm off to wind aom up on the Scottish Independence thread

I think I'm doing quite well on that one.
