Scaffolding Calculations

All our scaffold design drawings are issued with full calculations to enable the main contractor or client to fully assess the impact of the scaffolding structure on the existing structure the scaffolding is tied to and supported on.

We use several software packages including our own software written using Visual Basic running on the Microsoft Excel platform as well as CADS Structural Analysis to produce accurate and clear calculations.

We ensure that when producing our calculations that they fully comply with the relevant British Standards and other codes of practice including:

BS 5973: 1993 - Access and working scaffold and special scaffold structures in steel

NASC TG20:08 Technical Guidance on the use of BS EN 12811-1

BS 6399: Part 2 Loading for buildings - Code of practice for wind loads

BS EN 12811-1:2004 Temporary Works Equipment - Part 1: Scaffolds - Performance requirements and general design

BS 5975: 1996 - Code of practice for Falsework
