Hi Guys

Anyone can tell me how many Lm of tube and how many fitting are in 1m3 for estmating purposes of large works...i was told it is 9 meters of tube and 6 fittings..anybody can confirm this pls ??
 
I work in metre run of lift. Assuming a 2.00m lift and 2.4m bays that would equate to 6.9m of tube per metre run of lift for a three lift scaffold. A ratio of two thirds fittings to tube is about right unless you're into support jobs. However, you will go in kit heavy and presumably labour and transport too if you take this assumption throughout the job. One size does not fit all for estimating purposes. You're going to want to take into account scaffold heights, lift heights, bay sizes, working and non-working lifts, internal and external returns, extra guardrailing, toeboards, etc., etc. Thats before you even look at ground conditions, site access and such.

Hope that helps.

hi ian

Thanks for that, just needed confirmation.

We use 2.5mm tube here in Singapore so we have to stay to 2m bay lenght so 9 Lm will be right.
