Pre-erection
CHECKING THE TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION
e documentation described in the following sections must be available on the work site at all times.
Some of the documentation will be provided by the scaffolding manufacturer and some by the authorized technician from the Company
making use of the scaffolding.
Project
Full details of the scaffolding must be given and detailed erection
designs must be attached containing construction details-where
applicable-detailing:
• anchorages
• structural nodes
• load distribution at the base
• specific information regarding the correct erection of the scaffolding
in question
e project must respect the regulations of the countries where the
scaffolding is to be erected. For non-standard configurations or configurations higher than 20 m, it is suggested that a project signed and
stamped by the authorized technician be drawn up.
Technical Report
e report must contain all static verifications that fall outside those
described in the Ministerial Authorizations or standard designs.
It must be signed and stamped by an authorized technician.
Instruction manual and Anchorage manual
ese are documents provided by the manufacturer to ensure correct
use of its products.
CHECKING THE MATERIAL TO BE USED
Clothing
Working attire - overalls, gloves, shoes and all clothing must bear the
CE mark and comply with EN 510 Cat.II. Standards.
Other provisions
A room or location should be set aside on the work site for first aid in
the event of accidents. A first-aid kit must also always be on hand for
immediate, preliminary assistance with injuries.
Material suitability
It is good practice on the work site to arrange for all parts of the scaffolding to be periodically examined to ensure that all is in working
order.
For rented equipment, it is especially important that the end user
company and the manufacturer of the rented equipment draw up a
monitoring plan, paying particular attention to the following:
• Checking the verticality of the uprights. Inclines greater than the
manufacturer’s declared dimensional tolerance are not acceptable.
• Checking the welding on prefabricated frames. Should a visual check
raise concerns about the condition of a frame, use Magni ux or other
similar penetrant liquid methods and/or discard the frame.
• Checking that the pawls and bushings for diagonal and transom
couplings are working properly. Avoid using deformed and/or rebuilt
elements.
• Checking the painted or galvanized surface protection. To ensure prolonged durability over time and depending on the location where being
used, check all elements carefully to ensure there is no oxidation.
• Checking that the coupling grips (6 daNm) are tight, also checking the
condition of the threads of the bolts being used.
All nuts must always screw and unscrew perfectly.
e quality and quantity of all materials that are to be used must be
carefully checked prior to use on site as described below.
Correspondence between materials used and those
that have been authorized
e materials listed on the specifications and those that are on the
work site must be checked to ensure they match. Using parts from
scaffoldings made by other manufacturers is not allowed.
Mixed use of couplings/tubes that integrate with the scaffolding
system is permitted. Each part of the scaffolding can be mounted
separately from an adjoining part within a single system and joined to
non-structural tubes/couplings.
Personal safety
All personal safety devices required by law must be available on the
work site and utilized by the workers. ese devices are:
Safety belts
ese must meet European regulation requirements, bear the CE marking and must have passed the prescribed technical testing.
• Check that the metal ledger boards clamp together properly by making use of the device located on the planks for the purpose.
• Checking the straightness of the couplings used. Plastic deformations
of any of the element that comprises the system are not acceptable.
A compulsory check of the scaffolding soundness must be carried out
a er each major climatic event. is can also include materials that have
not yet been erected.
Storage on the work site
An area on the work site should be set aside for storing the scaffolding
material to facilitate movement and organize the loading and unloading of material in the best manner possible, thereby reducing operational costs and the risks of accidents that are a common occurrence in
disorganized environments.
For tall buildings, partial storage of quota material is advisable by
making use of loading areas duly set up that can then be used even
a er the scaffolding has been erected, thereby facilitating work on
site. Materials should be stored in appropriate containers and storage
chests. It is essential that a covered area also be made available (shed
or alter- native) to bench-mount joints, or where checks can be carried
out on materials.
Instruction manual • Prefabricated frames
30
Erection
During the erection stage, the mounting designs and the prescriptions
issued by the Site Engineer must be scrupulously followed. As regards
the stages of scaffolding erection, adhere to local regulations.
e main areas on which to focus attention during the erection stages
follow.
STARTING POINT OF THE SCAFFOLDING
e elements described below must be carefully verified and checked.
Scaffolding bases
An outline of the scaffolding corresponding to the erection plan must
be marked off.
e maximum distance from the building (20 m) must be respected
and checked.
Should this not be possible, with the approval of the project designer or
Works Director, add approach planks to the façade or guardrails even
on the inner side.
Face
Before laying the bases, a suitable face must be prepared of coarse gravel
and/or lean concrete if there are to be heavy loads at the foot, or, more
generally, wooden approach planks must be laid out continuously, lengthways along the façade.
Controls at the foot of the scaffolding
It is good practice to at least carry out the following checks at the foot
of the scaffolding:
• Avoid placing more than 2 planks under the base.
• Always rivet the base plates to the planks.
• Check the screwing out of the base plates. Screwing out to a maximum
of 20 cm is recommended. Greater screwing out is permitted as long as
speci c technical veri cations have been carried out or additional cross
bracings are added at the base of the sca olding.
• Check that the faces are level and that they are centered in relation to
the bases.
• Check the correct distribution of loads at the foot of the sca olding,
verifying the consistency, e ciency and proper placement of the distribution elements placed under the base plates (wooden planks, metal plates,
concrete screw nuts, etc.).
• Check the correspondence between the start of the sca olding uprights
in use against those in the erection design and especially the designs
found in the system Ministerial Authorization Booklet. Should they not
correspond, the technical documentation must be modi ed by modifying
the project or, if necessary, modifying the erection depending on choices
made for the project.
SCAFFOLDING STRUCTURE
It is important that periodic checks be scheduled for the following:
Verticality of the uprights
e verticality of the uprights must be checked periodically. Inclines
Instruction manual • Prefabricated frames
31
other than those foreseen in the dimensional allowance designs of the
system’s elements are not permitted.
In the event that uprights are not parallel to a plumb line, they must be
dismantled and erected again, if possible, or alternatively appropriate
static verifications must be carried out that will guarantee that the
specific scaffolding is suitable to fulfill the requirement for which it
was initially intended.
Should dismantling and re-erection of the scaffolding not be possible,
joints can be used to add a parallel reinforcing upright to the existing
scaffolding.
Anchorages
Anchorages must be positioned every 22 square meters of scaffolding
façade or, in special cases, in the number and in the positions shown in
the erection plan. e type of anchorages, their functioning, the static
verifications and the checks to be carried out are information that
must be provided together with the technical documentation.
Access ladders
e rungs of the scaffolding ladders must conform to the requirements
of the EN12811 standards, moreover the following must be checked:
• e type of ladder must conform to regulation requirements and with
what is described in the manufacturer’s manual.
• A protective guardrail must always be installed.
• e ladders must be self-blocking and tted with anti-slip feet.
Wood planks
Wood planks must always conform with what is shown in the design
plan and, in particular, the following points must be carefully checked:
• e planks must be free of traversing knots and in any event, the reduction of the reagent section areas must not be more than 10%.
• Declared minimum thicknesses must always be respected.
• Planks with overlaps (corners or changes of direction)must be appropriately riveted, above all in sca oldings where wooden joists are
carrying the sca old (for example on loading mounts).
Connections
As a minimum, the following must be checked:
• Plugs: Plugs must be present and properly inserted in all the joints in
the frame and loose uprights, and in all the items listed in the manufacturers’ manual.
• Gudgeon pins: Plugs must be present and properly inserted in longitudinal tube joints when using the tube-coupler system.
• truss beams
• hoisting connections
• anchorages
e checks must be carried out periodically, even while the scaffolding is in use, at intervals to be determined according to the use being
made, but not longer than 2 months.
In any case, a check must be carried out following a major climatic
event.
Metal ledger boards
e correct erection of the metal ledger boards must be checked, as
must their detachment prevention locks, using a suitable device (a
triangular rod or wedge).
Loading mounts
In cases where loading mounts with wooden scaffolding are used, the
following must be checked:
• Adherence of the trusses to the project speci cations regarding dimen-
sions, number and position.
• In any case, position the trusses close to the structural nodes.
• Check the correct thickness and positioning of the wooden planks.
• Check that the planks are riveted to the trusses.
• Check that the work loads are compatible with those speci ed in the
project.
Service lifts to the scaffolding
When li s are installed, the proper positioning of the anchorage must
be checked and above all that such anchorages are completely separate
from those of the scaffolding.
If this is not possible, the special anchorages to be used must be
covered by a report on the calculations, and by a specific erection plan
showing the loads to be borne.
Protective sheets
In cases where protective sheets are used the following must first be
ascertained:
• Determine the sheet permeability to wind; the information should be
provided by the manufacturer; if it is not, ascertain wind permeability
experimentally, empirically or theoretically.
• Verify that the permeability coincides with that indicated in the calculation report. Should it not, adjust veri cations to the new loads and, if
necessary, integrate the sca olding and anchorage structures.
• Wedge couplings: in multi-level systems in which wedge coupling connections are used, the correct insertion of the wedge into the node plate
must be veri ed before proceeding with the erection of the next piece
Grip of the joints
It is imperative that the correct grip of the joints (6 daNm) be checked
with a torque wrench of all the structures or parts of particularly
important structures:
• projecting parts
• In such event, pay particular attention to check that the erection and
functioning of the anchorages correspond with the designs and veri cations detailed in the designs.
Instruction manual • Prefabricated frames
32
Use
Winches and Pulleys
When winches or pulleys – even temporary – are used, the parts of the
scaffolding affected by such equipment must be checked.
ee checks must be shown on the calculation report if the equipment
is also to be used during work execution.
e carrying capacity of the winch or pulley must always be visible and
adjustable. In the absence of specific information in this regard, the
following formula may be used to determine the dynamic increment of
the vertical load in suspension for carrying out correct static checks:
ϕ = coefficiente di incremento dinamico
V = velocità del carico in movimento espresso in m/sec
ϕ = 1 + 0,6 x V
PERSONNEL SAFETY DURING INTERMEDIATE ERECTION
STAGES
In addition to the prescriptions stipulated by local regulations, the main
areas on which to focus attention are described below.
Scaffolding workers
scaffolding safety plan must have the names and specific responsibilities of the persons involved in organizing the work and erecting the
scaffolding.
Holding and auxiliary cables
Check the correct positioning and use of the holding and auxiliary
cables as prescribed by the regulations in force and check in detail the
stipulations regarding their length and strength.
Use of personal safety devices
e correct use and efficiency of safety clothing having the characteristics
already described in the ‘Personnel safety’ section must be checked periodically. e period is determined in relation to the duration of the work and
of the personnel present on the work site.
Hoisting of materials
is is a dangerous phase of the works during which the following
precautions must be taken:
Overlapping of personnel
Organize the erection teams in such a way that they are never positioned one above the other on the same part of the scaffolding.
While works are underway the scaffolding may undergo structural
modifications due to the particular requirements of the work site not
take into account during the planning stage.
It is important that the scaffolding be checked continually and that, as
a minimum, the following are verified.
Overloads
In the event the end user requests unusual overloads, notices indicating
the load capacity must be positioned on the scaffolding and checks that
the assembled structure corresponds to the project design and the calculation report must be carried out.
Passive security elements
Periodically checks must be carried out to ensure that passive security
devices have not been removed from the scaffolding; these include:
• overhead and frontal guardrails
• frontal and overhead toeboards
Planks with trapdoors must be shut if not in use.
e anchorages must never be removed unless such is called for under
the work program and in the erection plan of the scaffolding.
Machinery present on the scaffolding
Unless otherwise prescribed, boring machinery, vibrators, compressors
and whatever else could affect the stability of the scaffolding must not be
used.
In the event the job calls for such type of machinery, check that the
dynamic increase of the load has been taken into account in the calculation report.
Earthing
e presence and the type of earthing present on the scaffolding must
be calculated in accordance with the regulations in effect.
In the same way the documentation relating to the machinery on the
scaffolding must always be checked and brought up to date.
• Check the load capacity, the type and the correct functioning of the
winch and the pulley. Also check the ‘Winches and Pulleys’ section regarding technical veri cations.
• Organize the work in such a way that there are never loads suspended
above the heads of workers mounting the equipment.
• Check that the bay on which the raised material is to be stacked is suitable for carrying the weight. Check the technical speci cations and the
calculation report to ascertain the projected technical capacities.
Instruction manual • Prefabricated frames
33
DismantlingTransport
During dismantling, as during the erection stage, all precautions required by the regulations in force relating to safety equipment must be
taken.
At the very least, the following areas must be checked.
Removal of passive safety devices
• When dismantling the sca olding oor by oor, check that in the transitory stage, and a er the removal of the protective guardrails, no workers
are present on that oor or at least that they are adequately protected
with safety belts, holding and auxiliary cables on rigid parts of the struc
ture such as done during the erection stage.
• During partial dismantling of the following piers, check that guardrails
and the head toeboards are always reassembled.
• e movement of material disassembled from the sca olding must always be organized in a closed and safe manner. Storage of materials on
the sca olding must be avoided at all times.
Anchorages
• Floor anchorages must only be disassembled a er having dismantled
the overhead structure.
• Always check that at all times - including the dismantling stage of the
sca olding - that no portions are higher than 4 m above the level of the
last anchorage.
Transport must be organized in detail analogous to the preceding phases
and, as a minimum, paying particular attention the areas described
belo w.
Supply
Transport must be staggered so that only the materials that are strictly
necessary during the erection stage are on hand, thereby avoiding excessive stock piles within the worksite.
Check the size, the holding capacity of the delivery area as well as the
rate at which the scaffolding is being erected (see ‘Storage on the work
-
site’).
Materials
Check the correspondence between the projected supply quantity, the
materials present on the worksite and those listed on the travel documents.
Returned materials
Returned material must be organized in containers by planks, frames
and accessories so that the best use is made of available space and the
number of journeys is kept to minimal.
• Where there are projecting parts, the anchorages and the parts of the
structure subject to pull must be dismantled working on the bay below.
Storage
Set aside and display items which have been damaged or deformed.
On the ground, in an area of the work site that has been set aside (see
‘Storage on the work site’), set aside all dismantled materials, organized
by categories, tying them in bundles or putting them in their packaging
to facilitate loading and transport.

WARNINGS
For ring anchors the following verifications are recommended:
• check the type and consistency of the wall and, according to the acting
load, choose the most suitable type of anchor as supplied by the manufacturer.
• reduce the ‘e’ eccentricity of the joint between the anchorage tube and
the anchor to the minimum possible.
• check the correct hold of the joints.
• check the correct placing and working of the mounted anchors. In
special cases, it is advised that extraction tests are carried out so that
reliable values can be obtained of the actual resistance to extraction.

metal
decking

In special cases, when other types of anchorages are not permitted, force
screws can be used, provided their working is checked and monitored
while in use.
e risk in using these types of anchorages lies in the difficulty of determining the resistance that such anchorages can guarantee.
e resistance of the anchorage is in proportion to the force that the
screw is able to ensure and to the friction coefficient lying between the
wall and the force plate.
To correctly define the load of force, load cells placed the bases may
be used. However, such a solution is costly and only justifiable for very
particular types of work.
An alternative solution consists of determining whilst work is in progress the actual resistance RR on a trial anchorage and using a calculation of permissible resistance: R
=RR/2.

WARNINGS
It is recommended to connect the anchorage tube as near as possible to
the force screw or at the extremity of the tube in order to avoid bending
the tube itself.

ERECTION PLAN OF HORIZONTAL BEAMS
For buildings under construction with framed structures in reinforced
concrete or steel, or for building maintenance with large areas of glass,
it is not possible to distribute the anchorages uniformly on the façade
of the scaffolding. In such cases, truss beams in tube-couplers can be
used laid out horizontally or vertically on the inside of the scaffolding
framework in such a way as to disperse the wind pressure on to the
anchorages at the end of the truss beams only.
ERECTION PLAN OF VERTICAL BEAMS
Truss beams can be erected on every bay or on alternate bays to act as
loads.
Truss beams can be mounted on alternating piers or on all the piers to
act as loads, and especially depending on whether or not metal ledger
boards are present on each bay acting as braces and, therefore, as horizontal load distributors.

CHECKING THE TRUSS BEAMS
Having defined the acting loads and the static diagrams as explained in
the previous section, proceed with defining the truss beams using the
Ritter method or models utilizing finished elements or whatever other
methods are available for the purpose of obtaining the maximum stress

Tmax = maximum shear action
Mmax = maximum bending moment
• horizontal anchorage beam
Use tubes of ∅ 48.3 x 3.2 steel 235JRH for constructing the beams
described in the previous sections.
Both the transoms and the diagonals of the beans are added to the scaf
folding structure and immediately laid underneath the metallic decking
which forms the work bays.
Such beam elements will therefore only be subject to loads arising from

tage of the scaffolding uprights.
e resistance and instability checks of the scaffolding uprights must
therefore take into account both the vertical loads of traditional scaffol

acting on the vertical truss beam.
