Hi, looking for a quick peice of info.
Just had a call from the construction director of one of our clients, luckilly I was out of the office but I think I know what he going to ask, so want to be armed with the facts.
I think the questions he's gonna ask is about the scaffolding being sheeted needing a design. Ive looked through TG20 but cant find anything to say sheeted scaffolds MUST be designed. All I can find is that sheeted scaffolds should have load bearing couplers across 2 standards every other bay, which in theory should work out to be the tie tubes anyway.
Please correct me if Im wrong, just need to see it in writting somewhere either way.
I think they are going to insist on a drawing but at least this might give me the chance to charge for it.
Dave.
