Project Case 1

Project Background:

• This assignment is in Nairobi’s central business district in Kenya. It is a new, 40-story high rise office building, and since the building is substantially tall with a complex structure, customers have a high demand for the stability and flexibility of the scaffolding system. The assignment needs to increase building efficiency where possible, ensure the building’s safety, and meet the timeline challenge.

Project Difficulties:

• The security for high-rise construction : High-rise construction is actually under high security constraints due to the height and the safety issues due to the scaffolding; many high-rise construction scaffolding can go up to the 40th floor.
• The adaptability of the structure is complex : The building structure is complex and different parts require different types of scaffolding solutions.
• The schedule is demanding : Especially since the construction has to be completed in an expedited schedule requested by the owner, and any delay will be a costly.

Solution
To overcome these difficulties, we adopted the following scaffolding solutions:

1. High-rise building construction safety:

• Modular scaffolding : Modular scaffolding refers to the application of scaffoldings, made of high quality steel specifically, all around building’s facade to ensure the operational stability and safety in high altitude operations. It’s better than frame scaffolding because it provides better protection and reduces accidents. We have to adopt a safety inspection of all the scaffoldings to ensure the high quality of steel and safety of each layer of scaffolding.
• Double-layer protective net : Double-layer protective net refers to the outside of the scaffoldings and we add two layers of double-layer protective net to prevent the harm caused by the falling objects when the high-altitude operation in construction.

2. Complex structure adaptability:

• Flexible adjustment: Modularity of the designed scaffolding system allows it to adjust to different structural conditions of different building parts flexibly. For some parts of the special structure, cantilever scaffolding is used as the bearing bar for the corresponding structure, allowing the scaffolding system not to build from the ground, saving scaffolding material and steel for construction and improving the construction efficiency, using the existing structure to fulfill a new function.
• Multifunctional components: It is equipped with various functional components, and these components can quickly transform to meet the requirements of different construction parts, forecasts, or detailed methods such as relying on construction needs to provide for the safety and convenience of construction.

3. Tight construction period:

• Fast construction : The modular scaffolding is basic in design and is easy to put up and take down quickly. With that, the speed of both the erection and dismantling of the scaffold system is dramatically increased, while still maintaining safety. Builder was able to quickly put up the scaffold system in a relatively small amount of time which in turn, saved valuable time on the following steps in construction.

Project Results:

By rationally designed scaffolding work,  and strict standard scaffold construction management,  the construction safety was performed to meet the requirements, and the construction efficiency was significantly improved. Main performances are as below.

• Time of construction:  finished 10 days earlier, labor cost saved 20%
• Safety:  No accidents
• Scaffolding used:  modular scaffolding (1,000m²) and cantilever scaffold (200m²)

Project Case 2

Project Background:

• This particular project involves the refurbishment of the external walls of an office building in South Africa, situated in Johannesburg. This structure has been standing for over ten years and is a 20-floor building. The problems at the moment with the external wall include cracks and the striping off of paint and other issues that need to be addressed. Therefore, it is a substantial refurbishment of the exterior wall of the building. The customer requirement for the scaffolding system is to meet the safety requirements of the construction, but at the same time to minimize the effect on the business surrounding the building.

Project Difficulties:

• Safety of exterior wall repair of old buildings : When reinforcing the exterior walls of an old structure, the safety is affected by the height which the scaffold must reach, especially since the scaffold is usually unstable and unsafe.
• Minimize construction disturbance in commercial areas : The project is located in a busy commercial area and needs to minimize interference with surrounding businesses and pedestrians.
• Limited space and deadline : Relevant to consideration is constructing a scaffold structure in a confined location within a very tight time frame, and need to consider time starting day to finish completion, and different types of scaffold system to prevent any unfortunate potentially serious safety hazards.

Solution
To overcome these difficulties, we adopted the following scaffolding solutions:

1. Safety of exterior wall repair of old buildings:

• Modular scaffolding : When undergoing external wall renovation work on
• An old building, the approach used is the modular scaffolding technique. This method is used to safely and effectively construct the project by generating stability.
• Safety reinforcement measures : During the scaffolding construction process, safety reinforcement measures such as multi-point reinforcement and support are necessary to safely support each work point, safety inspections should be regularly completed.

2. Minimize construction disruption in commercial areas:

• Night construction : Big construction projects will be done at night, rather than during the day, to minimize impacts on commercial activities in the vicinity. Noise will be controlled, and safety barriers will be in place during the day to protect store keepers and pedestrians continuing their activities.
• Compact scaffolding : The use of compact modular scaffolding with a minimal footprint helps ensure safety and efficiency of construction while minimizing the occupation of space on the ground.

3. Limited space and time:

• Easy installation and removal: The modular scaffolding is simple to design and easy to assemble and disassemble quickly, reducing the waste time to the subsequent repair work.
• Assembly line: Use assembly line method, repair part one area first and move the scaffolding to repair part two, in turn, guarantee the whole of the project to be carried out in an orderly manner, undertake the project in the confined space.

Project Achievement

By adopting the approach of setting up the scaffold rationally and scheduling the construction time efficiently, the safety of construction was guaranteed while the renovation project was carried out with minimal impact on the surrounding commercial activities. The project was completed on time. The following are the key achievements:

• Construction time: On schedule
• Safety accidents: Zero
• Scaffolding usage: 800 square meters in the form of modular scaffolding
