Scaffolding 1
Scaffold support structure for new building

 
A steel scaffold structure covers this new building. It is used as temporary support before the walls are put up. With bars and couplers as basic elements galleries are made with guard-rails and toe-boards to allow safe working. Diagonal bars on strategic places prevent skewing.

In photo 1 a new level is prepared in the background by putting up the scaffolding first. In the middle a freight elevator. In front of it containers with bars brought in by the contractor.
The inside walls of the building are raised first, they are made from light porous concrete blocks (2). Brick walls on the outside will be added at a later moment.
In photo 3 a peek through a window on ground level. Temporary support is still present before inside walls are put up.
