Bridging Solutions
The purpose of bridging solutions are to provide access
when erecting the scaffolding over exits, door open-
ings, passages or gateways, or building projections and
balconies at higher structural levels. When bridging
span of up to two bays, it can be erected in a simple
manner by using standard components of the Ringlock
scaffolding system.
For larger than 2 bay spans and/or higher loads on the
scaffold, the Ringlock Lattice Girder can also be used.
With a height of 500mm, the Ringlock Lattice Girder
has the same spacing as the Rosette spacing of the
Standards and is connected directly to the rosettes.
The Ringlock Lattice Girders must be laterally braced at
the top chord to provide sufficient stiffness against lat-
eral deflection. See section 'Excerpt from the general
building approval Z-8.22-992' to verify that the bearing
loads from above the Ringlock Lattice Girder are suffi-
cient for each case.
Steel planks can be installed on the Lattice Girder
direction, if steel planks are to be installed parallel to
the Lattice Girder, then the Girder Transom must be
used. Girder Transoms are available with and without
side brackets.
Girder Transom Installation
Step 1
➤
Install the Lattice Girders in the rosettes of the
Standards by installing the wedges of the connection
heads with a 500g hammer until the hammer
bounces.
Step 2
➤
Install the Girder Transom onto the top chord of the
Lattice Girder along with Ringlock standards to
accommodate guardrails. Install the first steel plank
with the wind latch engaged onto the Girder Transom
on one side and onto a ledger on the opposite side.
Step 3
➤
Advance the planks together with the Girder Tran-
som/Ledger until the planks fit into the bay.Then
install and secure the other planks in the remaining
opening with wind latches engaged.
Step 4
➤
In order to continue the staggered standards to the
upper scaffold levels, mount a 1m standard on the
scaffold outer side and a 2m standard on the scaffold
inner side.Then the side protection can be installed.
Note:
Planks and guardrails are not shown in the Lattice
Girder level for clarity.
