METHODS OF STABILISING SCAFFOLDS— BUILDING TIES
An anchor is drilled and attached to the wall and is fastened to the tube with a
proprietary fitting. Reference should be made to local guidance for typical tie and
anchor details.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STRAIGHT DOUBLE TIE
A straight double tie consists of a horizontal tube connected to the inside and outside
Ledgers of the scaffold via right angle couplers, not more than 300mm horizontally
from the Standard. The end of this tube connects to an appropriate anchor for the
substrate of the supporting building/structure. This will transfer the forces from
the scaffold directly to the supporting structure without overstress in the Ringlock
components being used. Tie tube should be connected onto the Ledgers to ensure
maximum headroom is achieved for the platform below.
