Hanging Scaffold

This was a scaffold job to assist with the maintenance on the Cluny Power Station owned by Hydro Tasmania in the Central Highlands of Tasmania Australia. This hanging scaffold was erected to also help with the sand blasting and painting of the main building.iScaf® played an important role in the drawing design of the scaffold so that by the time the engineers received the final drawings, the design was already available in clear 3D detail for easy visualisation from all angles, allowing it to receive final engineering approval.

The scaffold was drawn with the iScaf® Kwikstage module with a number of Lattice beams including tube and clamp added to allow the scaffold to hang with a platform underneath. The platform was fully covered in 17mm ply board with an even flat finish, which made it easier for containment to lay flat. This allowed for access to the underside steel beams that needed sand blasting for the removal of lead-based paint and respray

Proscaff Tasmania’s team had the job erected in only 4 days completed for hand over to the main contractor on the 19th of January 2024. The scaffold stayed in position for around 5 weeks until the maintenance was complete.

“iScaf® has been brilliant for us. Previously, we were drawing scaffolds by hand, but now we have advanced to the ultimate level with clear, professional, computer-generated designs created in a fraction of the time.
We appreciate how iScaf® allows us to quickly make modifications and adjustments to the design, and it even generates the weights, raw rental price and sell price for the scaffold.”“We are now much more efficient, and iScaf® empowers us to grow and compete with some of the largest scaffold businesses in Australia. We thank Scaffolding Software for iScaf® and their outstanding service and support.”
