We conduct risk assessments, implement fall prevention plans and follow safe work procedures for scaffold erection, scaffold inspections, scaffold modification and dismantling. 

Scaffolding systems are used to provide a temporary platform for workers to access and work on structures such as buildings and bridges. The most common types are tubular, frame, and wooden scaffolding. Each type comes with its own unique features and characteristics that make it suitable for different types of construction projects.

Tubular Scaffold

A Versatile And Durable Solution For Construction Projects

Tubular scaffold is a type of scaffolding that consists of a series of tubes or pipes that are connected together to form a structural framework. It is commonly used in construction, renovations, and other types of work that require access to elevated areas. Tubular scaffolding is typically made of metal such as steel or aluminium, and can be assembled and disassembled quickly and easily. The tubes are connected together using couplers, which allow the scaffold to be adjusted to different heights and configurations. Tubular scaffold in Singapore is a popular choice for many construction projects owing to versatility, durability, and ease of use. It is also relatively lightweight and can be transported and set up quickly.

Different Tubular Scaffolding Systems Used in Construction

There are two main types of tubular scaffolding: cuplock scaffolding and modular scaffolding.

Cuplock scaffolding is a type of tubular scaffolding that uses a unique locking system to hold the tubes in place. It consists of vertical tubes, horizontal tubes, and a series of special couplers called cup locks that connect the tubes together. Cuplock scaffolding is quick and easy to assemble and is a popular choice for many construction projects due to its versatility and durability.

Modular scaffolding is a type of tubular scaffolding that consists of prefabricated modules that can be easily connected together to form a variety of configurations. It is typically made of aluminium and is a lightweight, easy-to-use option for construction projects. Modular scaffolding is also adjustable, allowing it to be easily customized to different heights and shapes. It is often used for projects that require a temporary or movable scaffolding system.

Benefits of Using Tubular Scaffolds

Designed specifically for construction, tubular scaffolds offer a range of benefits

1. Versatility

A Tubular Scaffold is the most versatile type of scaffold that can adapt to all types of building structures e.g. free-standing scaffold, independent tied scaffold, bird-cage scaffold, truss-out scaffold, hanging scaffold, tower scaffold and suspended scaffold.

2. Easy to use

These scaffolds are easy to use (only four basic components are required such as tube, right angle coupler, swivel coupler, bases or casters).

3. Durability

These types of scaffolds are durable (galvanized tubes are able to take on harsh environments).

4. Ease in assembly and dismantling

Tubular scaffolds can very easily be assembled and dismantled thus saving time on site.

5. Light in Weight

A tube and fittings system is light in weight due to which the scaffold can be easily moved around the construction site.

6. Adaptability

In comparison to other scaffolds, tube and fittings system scaffolds offer the most adaptable and efficient scaffold solutions.

7. Cost Effectiveness

In cases when scaffolds need to be erected for long periods of time (more than four weeks), tube and fitting system scaffolds provide the most cost effective scaffold solutions.

8. Flexibility

Tubular scaffolds are one of the most flexible types of scaffolds. These scaffolds can be adjusted according to the desired height.

9. Longer Life Span

Tubular system scaffolds have a longer life span in comparison to other scaffolds and offer more sturdy work platforms.

Components of Scaffolding Tubes

The scaffolding tube is a vital part of the framework of any scaffold structure. It is responsible for providing support and rigidity to the scaffold as well as preventing any swaying or bending in high winds. The three types of scaffolding tubes are standards, ledgers, and transoms. Standards are vertical pieces that hold up the entire structure, while ledgers run horizontally between standards using couplers that spread stress out evenly throughout the entire system. Transoms are smaller support tubes that run perpendicular to ledgers and provide extra stability along with allowing platforms to be attached to them.

Block Out the Noise!

A sound barrier sheet or soundproofing sheet is a type of material that is used to block or reduce the transmission of sound. It is often used in construction projects to reduce noise levels for neighbouring properties or communities. Soundproofing sheets can be used in conjunction with tube scaffolding to create a temporary wall or partition within the scaffolding structure. Additionally, the soundproofing sheet could help reduce the transmission of sound through the scaffolding structure.
