Bridging Solutions

BRIDGING SOLUTIONS

Sometimes it is necessary to erect a bridge within the façade scaffold. The most
common reason for this is to avoid an obstacle that is present at the ground level, such
as a fire exit, underpass or protrusion. Bridging is particularly useful to reduce the
amount of equipment required at the base of the façade, thus reducing erection times.
Below are some ways to create a bridge using Ringlock scaffold:

USING COMMON COMPONENTS

To create a bridge using the
common Ringlock components
and typical bay lengths
(Standards, Ledgers, Bay
Braces, Collars and Planks), Bay
Braces are used to support the
bridge section and stiffen the
surrounding scaffold. Design
advice is required for this type of
arrangement.

USING LATTICE GIRDERS

For larger spans, higher loads, and
additional lifts above the opening,
use the Ringlock Lattice Girder. The
19.7" (0.5m) deep Lattice Girder
attaches directly to the rosettes.
Lace and Brace these Girders on
the top chord to prevent lateral
displacement. Use the Tube and
Coupler or alternative Ringlock
Components. Design advice is
generally required for this type of
arrangement.
