No matter what kind of object, the use time is limited. The same is true of scaffolding that we often see in the construction industry, but how long can aluminum scaffolding last? In general, the thickness of steel, steel material, the galvanized surface will have a direct impact on the life of the scaffold. Besides, aluminum scaffolds are widely used, which makes scaffold life even more difficult to calculate. This paper will mainly discuss the service life and maintenance of aluminum scaffold.
The paper includes the contents as follow：
How long is the use time of the aluminum scaffolding？
What are the factors that affect the service life of aluminum scaffolding？
How to extend the service life of aluminum scaffolding？
First of all, aluminum scaffolding is characterized by structural science, firm stability, and lightweight; Secondly, its bolt is welded and fixed, and the three-way connection increases the horizontal and vertical pipe stress (this is the manufacturing method of the regular manufacturers, and some businesses on the market do not weld the bolt and connect the three-way because of cost savings.); Again, the structure of the horizontal and vertical only row, the middle is not left empty, triangular bracket reinforcement, frame about the upper and lower force to strengthen, the overall structure is firm and reliable, safe. Therefore, the aluminum scaffold has a long service life, usually more than 10 years, which is one of its advantages over other kinds of scaffoldings.
1. Material and hardness of aluminum.
2. Impact of construction site environment. When aluminum scaffolding is used more frequently on construction sites, it will have a high degree of wear and rust easily, resulting in a great loss of service life.
3. Differences in surface treatment. There are 4 kinds of scaffold surface treatment: paint, hot-dip galvanizing, cold dip galvanizing，and double-dip galvanizing. At present, the best way to prevent rust is hot-dip galvanizing, which can cost relatively high.
1. A special person shall be assigned to patrol the scaffold every day to check whether the upright pole and base plate are sinking or loose, whether all fasteners of the aluminum scaffold are sliding or loose, and whether all components of the scaffold are complete.
2. Do a good job in the drainage of the aluminum scaffolding foundation. After the rain, the scaffold foundation shall be comprehensively inspected. It is strictly forbidden to sink due to water accumulation on the scaffold base.
3. The construction load of the operation layer shall not exceed 270Kg/m², the cross bar support, cable and wind rope shall not be fixed on the aluminum scaffolding, and it is strictly forbidden to hang heavy objects on the scaffold.
4. No one is allowed to dismantle any part of the aluminum scaffolding.
5. In case of the gale, fog, heavy rain and snow above level 6, the scaffold operation shall be suspended, and the operation can be continued only after no problem is found before returning to work.
With strict control of the quality, Golden Resource establishes our own quality system from material incoming to loading, all inspections are with documents record. If you want the aluminum scaffolding with good quality and long service life, please contact us.
