Thanks Essex!!!!!!!!!!!!!
phil181 you shouldnt need to splice the joint as you shouldnt use a sleeve all together, chase the brace, dog legging etc.
philliosmaximus sleeve a load bearing fitting, erm i think not, a double is and been told a swivels is also now, i will find out but im 98% sure its not.
richale again, yeah using 4 swivels minimum for splice is fine, but you shouldnt be splicing a sway brace period.
numbnuts they should issue a pavement licence before you even start the job, and i no if its in london the work near a road, its got to be minimum 18inches away from the road.
kev-c the 2nd picture wouldnt look as bad if the node was maximum of 300mm, not 3ft.
i have based out my fair share of gantry's in london and always 18inch, suppose incase a lorry was to come up the kerb, even though there would still be karnage at 18inch or 1inch.[COLOR="Silver".
I think the 18" is for the camber of the road[/QUOTE
Essex is correct.
The City of London Corporation insist on 450mm from the kerb line (which is 20")
You must follow the kerb line regardless of any splay or width change.
You can deviate from this by using bulk timbers to the kerb or concerete/water filled bases but this must be approved by the City of London corporation.
All my dealings with them have been pretty good as they seem to understand the logistics of scaffolding and construction works pretty well.
Ha Ha luv the check fitting on the last pic!

Maybe so but the gap is for the camber in the road to prevent high sided vehicles leaning into the scaffold.

No problem essex , I just wanted to show there is reasoning behind some of h&s legislation.Also when you put the guardrail and toeboard in at ground level were you aware that the toeboard should be painted whita across the top edge, the reason being that guide dogs are trained to follow the white line
