What is the Modular Scaffolding System?
Modular scaffolding is the modern scaffold based on the conventional tubular scaffolding. It can be divided into two kinds: kwikstage scaffolding and cuplock scaffolding. Modular scaffolding is also referred to as the scaffolding system and is highly efficient because of its flexibility. It can be assembled on the outside or inside of a building to allow for work. This makes a system scaffold extremely versatile, and a favorite in the construction industry.

What is Scaffolding Done in Construction?
Construction scaffolding is used to access elements of construction. For example, while building a structure, wall coverings are often installed from the exterior of the building. To access the walls, or in many cases to build the walls, a walking platform is constructed around the building every 6′8″ or so to allow the average sized construction worker to paint, plaster, frame, lay bricks, concrete blocks or other wall treatments.

Stipulations on Scaffolding #3
It is forbidden for persons not involved in the process to access the place of assembling and disassembling of scaffolding during the process. It is not allowed to install metal scaffolding closer than 5 m to the wires of district electricity lines. Otherwise, during the processes of assembling and disassembling of scaffolding, the electric power has to be cut off and the wires earthed. Or the wires themselves have to be sheathed or dismantled.

Stipulation on Scaffolding #2
The pitch of the staircase must not exceed 60º to the horizontal surface. If the scaffolding is installed close to the driveways then the gap between the scaffolding and the vehicles should be more than 0,6 m. The height of the scaffolding is measured from the ground level, floor or platform on which it is installed. Decks and staircases have to be cleaned periodically during the works and after their completion. In the winter time, the snow and ice are needed to be removed and the sanding to be done.
