good morning
Im after some info on the above subject. a sub contractor requires a scaffold loading bay erecting adjacent to the building where his AHU weighing 2.5 te will be landed on a pre erected scaffold and then skidded into the building on the 1st floor.
He has mentioned in his rams 2.00kn/ms! would i be right in saying that the scaffold is to be erected by a advanced scaffolder to a design scaffold and withstand a load 1.5 times greater than the weight of the load also isn`t 2.00kn for everyday access scaffold? is there anythng else i will be required to address, appreciate your advice
regards

Definitely a designed loading bay required.
The standard loading bay in TG20 is specifically only to be used where Non Mechanical loading is undertaken - all other situations require a designed solution. You will also have measurable dynamic loading and the designer will account for this. Look at the design drawing offerred and ensure it is built absolutely to the design.

Bob's mention of the designer - check his competence, (not Bob's), no qualification required but bags full of experience is a must have.
Also ask what the level of insurance is, make sure he is covered for enough to cover any potential mistakes.
The design drawing must remain on site and you need a method of erection statement.

Hi, Hope this answers your questions, the loading bay would definately have to be designed, the loading requirement would depend on the weight, size and what it is to be landed onto or repositioned with. (For example if the item was 1.0m x 1.0m then a loading of 25.0kN/M2 would be required) then for example if a trolley style jack was to be utilzed then there may be a requirement for the local area around the wheels to have additional works due to point loading. You will not necessarly require an advanced scaffolder to erect the scaffold as a blue carded qualified scaffolder would be trained in this erection process. There are plenty of other items to considered but in the first instance ensure that you obtain the services of a reputable company as in one of the earlier answers can be found via the NASC.
