if you plan brace the base where you cant leave rakers in, can you also leave the sway/face brace out? just one less thing for public to walk into is what im thinking
 
You could possible remove that face brace from pavement to first lift if you have ties at the first lift that can support shear loads (not ringbolts) but you would need a design. TG20 shows handrails at the face braced bay to prevent people walking into the brace.
 
Plan brace is needed when 1st lift is over 2.7m side braces may be omitted but facade brace is required unless stated in design
 
moving it to the inside line usually works,just make sure you foam it up well and cable tie it.
 
Plan brace the pavement lift if you leave the ledger bracing out, you could tie it instead but the windbrace should be in the base lift.

:laugh::laugh: its 2 transoms wedged in a window revel to take the sway out the scaffold very old school street thing , i aint gonna mention any names but i know of lads that used to use this method as ties :eek:
 
Only ever known it as a pinch tie,i'm sure the politically correct brigade would be all over anyone calling it Indian especially if installed using Fanny clips.
