Erection Procedure Two operatives place open ended standards over base jacks that have been pre-adjusted to approximately the correct height. The operators then hold the standards/bases vertical and insert a ledger/propping tie into the lowest set of pressings on the standard (they do not fully tighten the captive wedges at this point). The operatives lean the constructed frame inwards and, whilst holding it with one hand, attach propping ties into the first set of pressings at the bottom of the standard. The frame is now self supporting. The operatives each prepare another leg (standard &...

4 5 The first unit of the grid is completed by tying the legs to one another with propping ties to the required set of pressings on the standards and leveling-off and squaring up. Once this is completed, wedges are hammered up tight. Always refer to RMD Kwikform design drawing. Place diagonal bracing to the tower as required by the RMD Kwikform drawing. Ensure the tower is vertical and square prior to tightening the couplers. 8 9 At all times operatives should comply with local safety regulations by either using approved fall arrest equipment or by providing temporary guardrails as shown....

Loading Data Kwikstage, scaffolding with 'Propping ties' is suitable for support applications with 27.5kN leg loading when the vertical dimensions between the horizontal members is at a maximum of 2m vertical centres. The leg load can be increased to 40kN when the maximum vertical distance between the horizontal members is limited to 1.5m, and 55kN leg load can be accommodated when the horizontal members are at 1 .Om vertical centres. Wherever Kwikstage scaffolding is used for support, bracing will be necessary to provide lateral stability, overall stability, erection stability and node...
