Gents A Question please.......

..........apart from "Wood"......does anybody have any knowledge of what type of material Americans use for scaffold boards? I'm looking for the actual name of the material.

If anyone knows also of the loading of these boards.

Thanks in advance

In America they mainly use metal boards called deck planks .

Hey Smark,

i totally agree and have used them myself working in the U.S. I have been asked a question on a project where scaffolds have arrived on a barge to OSHA stds. They have used wooden boards as apposed to said deck pans. Question was raised by the powers above, so just trying to get them off my back so to speak. Ha Ha

There was a system out in the north sea about 20 years back
Boco under deck using Wire slings and Aggedeck stageing boards
It was a bit like the old wire sling SGB used on there old cinema jobs back in the 70,s
Salamis bought them out on the Bp forties contract and it was never used again
the lads that used this were from new orleans down south

Thanks old scaff. Its all tube and fit on that barge but the boards kinda resemble the more traditional system board from home. 58mm thick are they. I know its some kind of copressed coposite of such, but to as to the name I havent a clue and this is what I source.

It sounds like the laminated boards thatare used on pertochem jobs in the middle east nowadays. They are heavier than normal boards and don't warp in the heat as easily. I haven't seen them as thick as the an omega orckwikstage board though.
I had a data sheet on them and will have a look round the Shiite I've amassed to see if its still there

Thanks Happy, suppose the easiest thing for them to do is see which company erected the scaffold in the shipyard and possibly contact them. But hey, thats the easy option. Just expect you to know these things don't they, hahahaha.

Appreciate any help...

Laminated Scaffold Boards or sometimes referred to as LVL Scaffold boards are an alternative to the traditional solid timber scaffold board.



Master Plank® is an engineered wood product known as Kerto® and is designed specifically for use as a scaffold board. The unique process by
which it is manufactured disperses the inherent defects found in solid-sawn timber.



Natural characteristics such as knots and wane are randomised to maximise strength and minimise warping and splits.*

There are LVL in TG20 which are liminated veneer lumber but They are about 33m thick, best try and find out off the manufacturer

Tom, this scaffold is built to OSHA stds not british. All material is from the USA.

Yeah, you normally find that OSHA standards are pretty high. We questioned the LVL boards when they first started to be used a lot over here

Tom, with that i will have to disagree with you my friend. From experience, working on a refinery out in Montana (conoco philips 66) the standard of scaffold was at least 10 yrs behind us here in the uk. The material may of conformed to somewhere near our regs, but the standrds for the scaffold was terrifying.....

we underwent there safety training and that was some eye opener i can tell you.

old but a goody I remember it well
Pulling on the ropes to get out from below the rig when the pilot ships left rhea dock to pilot the trident subs up to faslane . The waves they caused never left much room for the welder in the cherry picker on the barge.
Just how many standards were welded to the underdeck I couldn't even guess.
A cracking job were I met a life long pal

I that's right the MOD tug boats were moored at the Old Glen Yard Greenock
The swell would rock and roll the we Barge with the Sober welder and Captain Scaffolder
Big tommy safe hands fae Saltcoats
Hard to believe the same welder had Sun stroke a few months later that summer
Us Scaffs Hard Boots, Levis , fred perry and the Medic make sure we had plenty water with lime cordial in it
We Rab Buckets off blood sitting feeding the yard dog with John Lambs piece box
Tony Smith Sleeping his Days away with Joe Below ,half bottle if wine in has half bottle frog on his belt spanner full of rust

AYE JIMBO it went on time and under budget.
Rained forever with Stevie Todd catching pleurisy on nights What a Job
Remember Hal going in the water when the old youngman board snapped
change of overalls and back to work
REAL MEN REAL SCAFFS
