Skip to content There are numerous dangers associated with demolition projects, such as unpredictable structural collapse, falling objects, and debris. Without choosing the right type of scaffolding for demolition, you may end up facing all these safety hazards, not just regulatory noncompliance and costly delays.
Imagine trying to dismantle a building with an unstable temporary structure that can’t handle the weight of debris. It will leave your workers exposed to hazards and unfortunate incidents. Your worst nightmare is experiencing project shutdowns and financial penalties that leave a permanent mark on your reputation.
At Scaxa, we understand all the challenges and problems you face during demolition. Hence, we are here to offer our specialized demolition scaffolding. Our systems are designed to withstand harsh environments and offer unmatched load-bearing capacity and stability. Whether you need a scaffold for partial teardown or full-scale demolition, our team provides the best scaffold that works securely in harsh conditions.
There are seven control measures during scaffolding work for building demolition.
Pre-demolition planning requires a comprehensive risk assessment survey to identify potential hazards and to choose a specific scaffold design that accommodates the unique requirements of demolition work. It also requires planning for safe access and escape routes for scaffolding workers.
Only highly trained and qualified personnel need to install scaffolds, and they must ensure that the scaffold is stable and properly anchored. They must also verify that the scaffold can bear the intended load during the demolition process.
Install debris nets or mesh all around scaffolding to catch falling materials. Use overload platforms or canopies to protect workers from falling debris. Ensure that toeboards and guardrails are installed according to safety guidelines provided by industry regulation.
All workers must wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Scaffolding must have a fall protection system in place. Mark safe zones as designated areas that protect workers from debris and scaffolding hazards.
Follow a planned sequence during demolition so that the structural stability of the scaffold and the building remain intact. Remove direct debris away from scaffolding through designated pathways. Operate demolition equipment carefully.
Regularly check the demolition scaffold to ensure that its stability and functionality remain intact. Don’t work during harsh weather conditions like heavy rain or high winds. A competent supervisor must oversee complete demolition work and enforce safety measures.
Develop and communicate emergency exit plans with workers. Trained personnel and first-aid must be available on-site.
Below are the six types of scaffolding used in demolition.
Supported scaffolding consists of one or more stable platforms supported by rigid components such as poles, frames, legs, outrigger beams, brackets, uprights, and posts.
Whenever our client requires demolition scaffolds that can withstand heavy loads and are capable of repeated setups and teardowns, we always recommend supported scaffolds for demolition. This type of scaffolding is sturdy and helps you dismantle structures safely and efficiently.
At Scaxa, our demolition scaffolds:
Cantilever scaffolding consists of a temporary structure supported by cantilever beams anchored to a structure instead of the ground. Whenever our clients require access to areas where traditional scaffolding is impractical, such as projecting structures, overhangs, and narrow spaces, we recommend using cantilever scaffolding.
At Scaxa, our flexible cantilever scaffolds:
Do you need to demolish structures in hard-to-reach areas, such as building exteriors or balconies, without compromising worker safety and precision? It’s time to use Scaxa’s cantilever scaffolding for demolition. Our cantilever scaffolds offer your workers the flexibility and stability to dismantle structures safely in a challenging environment.
Steel scaffolding is a temporary structure formed using steel tubes and fittings. Whenever our clients are looking for robust and versatile scaffolding for demolition, we recommend steel scaffolding, as it is suitable for heavy-duty tasks and can be assembled into various configurations.
At Scaxa, our robust steel scaffolds:
Do you need demolition scaffolding for a project that demands high strength, safety, or stability? Look no further, as Scaxa’s steel scaffolding is perfect for this demolition project. Whether you need steel demolition scaffolding for industrial projects or high-rise demolition, our steel scaffold is an excellent choice, especially for environments with complex access requirements.
H-frame scaffolding is built with prefabricated frames placed in the shape of an “H.” When our clients require a simple demolition scaffold to erect and dismantle, we suggest they try an H-frame scaffold, as its setup is quick.
At Scaxa, we bring safe and reliable H-Frame scaffolds that:
Whether you need a demolition scaffold with heavy debris management or high load-bearing capacity, our simple-to-setup H-frame scaffolding for demolition fits your requirements. Our fast and efficient scaffolds will help you quickly meet your project’s tight deadlines.
Suspended scaffolding comprises a platform suspended from the roof of the building or any other overhead supports through chains, cables, or ropes. Workers can adjust the height of the platform and move it up and down as and when needed. When our clients need to demolish tall or confined spaces, we suggest they use suspended scaffolding, which offers safe and efficient access to the upper levels of structures without any ground support.
At Scaxa, our space-efficient suspended scaffolds:
Whether our client needs a suitable scaffold for partial demolition or detailed facade work, our safe and efficient suspended scaffold serves project requirements well.
Trestle Scaffolding is a lightweight temporary structure supported by ladders and movable tripods. When our clients ask us to show them a scaffold that is simple to erect and reposition, we suggest they try trestle scaffolding. It works great at low-height demolition tasks.
At Scaxa, our clients can have light-duty trestle scaffolds that:
Whether you need a scaffold for indoor or low-level demolition, Scaxa’s reliable trestle scaffolding is where mobility meets ease of access. Use our well-built demolition trestle scaffolds to dismantle walls, fixtures, and partitions in your office, retail, or residential settings.
