Scaffolding systems depend heavily on the type of LVL Plank used in setting up the whole structure, since it faces adverse weather and heavy wear and tear during operations. Thus, it is imperative that all users must be aware of the properties that make this product reliable and worth using in scaffolding in Australia.
Some of the characteristics that must be present in the planks are listed below: Confirmed load bearing capacity
No cross-grains or concentrated knots
Lamination that renders it with improved strength
Rough sawn surface, for enhanced traction
Waterproof adhesive, for extended resistance in rains and snow
End-sealers, to block entry of moisture in the plank
Superior bending strength and strong nail-holding feature
Low linear expansion coefficient
Minimum formaldehyde emission
Glue should stick after boiling for extended periods (to assess heat retardant property)
Reusability (at least 50 times)
Adherence to all national and international standards
Only a product that has all the above mentioned properties should be acquired, since it will be reliable in all working conditions and provide maximum operational life.
Nice blog, thanks for sharing the information. I will come to look for update. Keep up
