This is not strictly necessary to prove the adequacy of the scaffold itself, but since the integrity of the scaffold is generally reliant upon safe transmittal of such loads, calculation of them is necessary to allow the responsible parties to check the supporting / adjacent structures. Identification of loads imparted by the scaffold into foundations / adjacent structures.An evaluation of the stability and the rigidity of the scaffold structure, ensuring that adequate factors of safety are maintained.A check of the capacities of the scaffold components to sustain the loads and combinations of loads imposed upon them.An assessment of the loading conditions and combinations on the structure (dead, live, wind, snow load etc.).What do scaffold design calculations have to include?Įxact calculation methods and design approaches can vary, but the basic requirement of any scaffold design calculation must include all of the following: 'Competent evidence' is therefore the minimum standard required of any scaffold design calculations, in order to 'prove' the strength and stability of the designed scaffold structure.Absolute mathematical proof is typically not feasible in either a practical or an economical sense, due to the nature of temporary works and engineering in general."Substantiate (verb) : to establish by proof or competent evidence".(Working at Height Regulations 2005, Schedule 3 Part 2) it is assembled in conformity with a generally recognised standard configuration.a note of the calculations, covering the structural arrangements contemplated, is available or.Strength and stability calculations for scaffolding shall be carried out unless.
