Are you placing scaffolding on any part of the pavement/highway (public road)? then you must apply for a license. We can provide scaffolding design drawings in 2D or 3D that includes: dimensions to prove your proposals meet the council’s safety specifications, plan views, elevations, clearances, hoarding position, etc.
We would need as much information as you could give us, similar to a normal 2D design or a 3D design we require a design brief, that includes: pavement dimensions, load, clearances, tie positions, etc. If you cannot provide one, we would issue one instead of making sure all the necessary information is obtained to complete the design. We might need to go on the site to measure the pavement, clearances, etc.
It depends on how complicated, complex or ample the scaffolding structure is but we will try our best, working extra hours to deliver on time. We believe we are the fastest in the industry, ask our clients for confirmation.
Each project has its quote. Try our free quotes at info@ekscaffolddesign.com. Many times we work with your budget. We can provide drawings in pdf format in a range of sizes from A0 to A4.
It depends on the job. From experience, 2D Scaffold Design and Calculations should be enough to please the council but if the job is more complex, a 3D design or a 4D video animation will do the trick.
The scaffolding drawing shall ensure safe access for pedestrians is maintained at all times with a minimum clearance width of 1.20 metres or 1.50 metres(areas with high footfall), and a minimum clearance height of 2.50 metres. All dimensions stated are susceptible and you should ask the council’s licensing team for the exact values.
The scaffolding needs to be erected 450mm from the edge of the footway kerb. If unable to achieve this, you need to contact a member of the council's licensing team. One of the solutions could be using a timber bulk on the road, close to the kerb as a temporary barrier.
Scaffolding drawing should show, the first level closed with double boards and monarflex in between for preventing any debris from falling onto the public highway, scaffolding poles covered with yellow padded sleeving, debris-netting or monarflex sheeting attached to the scaffold, hoarding, etc.
