Allround Shoring TG 60 Ideal for Traffic Access
For more than 70 years now, Layher (the Name of German Company) has been the undisputed pioneer for top-class scaffolding systems “made in Germany”. With its ideas, this future-looking and highly innovative family-owned company has continually been giving vital new impulses to scaffolding construction and profoundly influenced developments. But Layher not only means high-quality scaffolding, protective and event systems, rolling towers and ladders: it is also a dependable partner of customers from scaffolding, crafts, construction, industry and the events business when it comes to outstanding services. Every day, by highly qualified and motivated employees are creating “more possibilities” – at the highly automated production plant or at the sales subsidiaries in more than 45 countries all over the world.
More Possibilities - Layher Products and Services
Layher’s present product characteristics and services help customers achieve long-term success and increase the profitability of their companies. The Layher Allround Scaffolding has been established as a synonym for modular scaffolds on the market. The Allround Scaffolding offers unsurpassed versatility to be used in construction sites, chemical industry, power plants, aircraft, shipyards, event sector, theatres and arenas.
Layher Allround Shoring TG 60
Layher Lightweight – The Next Dimension in Scaffolding
Assembly, dismantling and transport make up 80 % of scaffolding service costs. Studies have clearly shown that by reducing component weight, our customers can considerably enhance both their assembly and dismantling performances and use their transport capacities more efficiently. This is where our new Layher Lightweight philosophy comes to the fore. By using higher strength steel grades, new production processes and design improvements, we have succeeded in minimising the weight of the basic components of Allround Scaffolding systems – without reducing their high oad capacities. As part of our integrated system, the lightweight products can also be combined with our previous product versions. Combination approvals are of course available.
To make scaffolding even more economical and even safer, Layher development engineers are constantly working on ingenious new developments. Our focus here is on the influencing factors for assembly performance, such as weight, shape and the number of components. To achieve this, we constantly search for new materials and new production processes. Just a few additional components also continuously provide our customers with new fields of business, since the utilisation of their material stocks is also a crucial economic factor.
Application of Layher Allround Shoring TG 60 with Traffic Access
Layher Allround shoring TG 60 (The False work frame – even more possibilities) Allround scaffolding uses a simple, unique and bolt free connection technology. Sliding the wedge head over the rosette and inserting the wedge into the opening immediately secures the component. There is still sufficient play to secure the other end of the ledger. A hammer blow to the wedge transforms the loose connection into a superbly strong structurally rigid one. The face of the wedge head is now precisely positioned against the standard.
During upgrading of Airport’s Terminal and its access roads, flexible support was needed for concreting work on a roadway. Layher has provided the solution for the building company, which is flexible Allround Shoring TG 60 from Layher. This allowed the erectors to provide without any problems a vehicle access with a clear width of more than four metres, and also to match the shoring structure precisely to the existing binding beams, despite restricted spaces – and all that in a completely safe way thanks to Allround side protection.
To maintain its high quality standards in the future too, and to ensure the continuing functioning of its infrastructure, the airport is regularly upgraded and expanded. Refurbishing of the access roads for departures and arrivals are also some of its current construction projects. The concreting work for a roadway proved to be a particular challenge for Construction Company in this case. The necessary shoring firstly had to include a vehicle access with a clear width of more than four metres, and secondly adapt optimally to the shape of the already existing binding beams – and all this both quickly and efficiently to keep within a tight schedule.
After very positive previous experience, the Project engineers consciously chose Allround Shoring TG 60 from Layher for this project too. The modular-designed and hence extremely flexible system consists of high-strength shoring frames that combine with standard parts from the proven Allround range, such as ledgers and diagonal braces, to create shoring towers with bay lengths between 1.09 and 3.07 m. That gives construction companies a huge benefit. Firstly, rapid assembly considerably improves efficiency at construction sites. This is assured by the reduced number of components in the prefabricated shoring frame in comparison with individual parts, by the low component weight of max. 18 kg, and by bolt-free wedge-head connectors – but also by optimum use of material, since the TG 60 system can be flexibly adapted to the load in question and to the predefined geometry. Assembly time is minimized.
On the other hand, every requirement on a construction site can be economically implemented using the comprehensive range of Allround components. It doesn’t matter if it’s for geometry adaptations or for adding working levels and stairway towers: compatibility with the Allround system and its wedge-head connection ensures highly flexible shoring construction. In this project, the scaffolding erectors from Marti were not only able to optimally match the shoring structure, about seven metres high, to the shape of the already present binding beams, but also to provide the required vehicle access in an economical way using a lattice made from Allround Shoring Frames TG 60, instead of with steel beams or lattice beams. The loads were here transmitted directly into the adjacent shoring towers. Adjustment at the edge area was achieved in a material-saving way using a bracket – likewise using Allround components.
During assembly of the structure of some 250 square metres in size, Allround Shoring TG 60 proved to be not only very fast to build, but also very safe. Due to the use of Allround standard material, time-consuming bracing using tubes and couplers, or measurement of individual towers to ensure they meet planning requirements, for example, was no longer needed. After assembly of a single tower, the distance to the next tower results automatically from the positioning of Allround ledgers on the ground.
Rectangularity is also assured. The safe assembly sequence for Allround Shoring TG 60 also provides scaffolding erectors with all-round side protection, even without additional components. This allows valid safety regulations to be met in full during shoring construction.
By this method, the scaffolding erectors created, with this material-saving and flexible support and in a very short time, the optimum conditions for concreting the roadway for access to Switzerland’s largest airport.
