A new one on me

Tube and fitting. External façade bracing on every bay fixed dog legged on Aberdeen transoms using doubles. Internal bracing on same bays fixed from top handrail to node point of lift using swivels.
No bracing on inside standards and no ledger bracing.

What?? No plan brace. Is this one of your towers Fred???

There's too many braces in it for hswt towers.....and he use's singles not doubles.

For whatever reason the sway braces every bay is quite common here (not by me) I have always assumed it is because of a lack of knowledge to be honest?

 

[Havespannerwilltravel]

Not a tower! There is plan bracing as well but nothing unusual at that. Nothing unusual about façade bracing on doubles every bay either. Different to also have additional brace on swivels from top handrail to node point.

That arrangement would not normally add any strength to the external face, unless the scaffold is tied to both ends at the top handrail height.

Tell us about the tie arrangement and the height of the scaffold?

 

[Havespannerwilltravel]

27 metres high at first then up to 48m. No ties except returns until tied into trunions at 27m. Base set in concrete. All ledgers and transoms (Aberdeen) on load bearing couplers. Double standards to 27m. Plan braced every third lift.

Yes sure beats the hell out of doing a gable end in the rain.
