Meaning of Scaffold and Scaffolding


 

For the process of repairing and maintenance work, we need to have a platform to support the work crew and materials during construction so by building a temporary structure we provide them the platform which is known as Scaffold. To perform the construction activities wisely Scaffold helps to support the working team.

In other words, we can say that to access the workplace at height and to support the materials the scaffold is made whereas Scaffolding refers to the individual components which we use to assemble to form a Scaffold. For example couplers, tubes or frames, etc. However, many people use the words scaffolding and scaffold with the same meaning.

The process of Scaffold plays a very important part in the construction field.

As the construction sector is booming all the time in Dubai the rapid growth of Scaffolding supplier in Dubai is also arising. It is not possible to complete construction work in Dubai without the use of scaffolding. These construction projects mainly include villas, malls, high-rise buildings. To complete any type of construction work Scaffolding is very important. Especially in the case of high-rise buildings and towers, the scaffolding installation is a bit of a difficult process. For the installation of scaffolding Work sequences like selection, design, supervision, and proper coordination is required. So, the topic of scaffolding in Dubai is very important in the construction industry.

 A scaffold is a temporary structure erected to elevate and support workers as well as materials during construction, repair, or surface finishing of a structure. The process of Scaffolding is usually required when working at a height that is 1.5m above ground level. Scaffolds can be made of timber, bamboo or metal aluminum, steel. Those people who erect the scaffolds are known as the scaffolders while those who use the scaffold to do work such as painting and bricklaying are called the scaffold users. On the other hand, Scaffolding refers to the individual components which are used to erect the scaffold.

Important functional requirements of scaffolds include:

1. Horizontal and vertical accessibility.

2. Safety and stability.

3. Ease and speed of erection, disassembly, and reuse.
