Origin and philosophy

Headquarters in Eibensbach

GOOD SCAFFOLDING IS MADE OF STEEL. EXCELLENT SCAFFOLDING IS MADE IN GUEGLINGEN-EIBENSBACH. LAYHER, THE WORLD’S LEADING MANUFACTURER OF MODULAR SCAFFOLDING SYSTEMS, IS A FAMILY-OWNED COMPANY, WITH ITS ROOTS – AND ITS FUTURE – FIRMLY IN GUEGLINGEN-EIBENSBACH.

Origin and philosophy

Layher has its roots in the small town of

Gueglingen-Eibensbach

south-

west Germany. We are able to deliver made-in-Germany quality by remaining true to those roots – and by keeping development, production, sales, distribution and management in one place, where they have always been: in Gueglingen-Eibensbach. The headquarters in Eibensbach offers some 250,000 m2 of space, including 110,000 m2 for production and storage. Manufacturing,

development,

logistics

and administration are in a single location, generating synergies that benefit our customers: seamless information exchange, rapid decision-making, responsiveness, hands-on quality control and much more. Not least, manufacturing processes can be reengineered at any time in response to changing market needs.

MORE SUCCESS THROUGH PARTNERSHIP “More possibilities” – the Layher brand promise is the modern expression of a traditional dedication to customer service and innovation that has been practiced day in, day out, for generations. And we remain committed to making scaffolding simpler, swifter, and above all safer, by creating ever-better products. Our customers’ success, business sustainability and the conservation of natural resources are key to our business philosophy. A decision to purchase Layher products is simultaneously a decision in favour of a unique set of services: by delivering more speed, safety, proximity, simplicity and future, we strengthen our customers’ competitiveness. And we do so within the scope of a true partnership, where the focus is on people. And Layher products are not just sound in terms of our corporate philosophy, they are also sound in terms of their business benefits: our scaffolding is designed to be fully compatible across all our systems, and we guarantee that additional parts and elements are available for purchase not just for years but for decades. What’s more, our products have a deserved reputation for durability that is second to none – adding up to maximum investment protection for our customers around the globe.

Innovation and development

WE HAVE BEEN DOING THE SAME OLD THING FOR MORE THAN SEVEN DECADES: COMING UP WITH SOMETHING NEW. OUR OVERRIDING PRIORITY IS OUR CUSTOMERSâ€™ LASTING SUCCESS. WHICH IS WHY WE CONTINUE TO IMPROVE OUR SCAFFOLDING SYSTEMS.

Innovation and development

LAYHER HAS BEEN A LEADER IN PIONEERING AND INNOVATIVE SCAFFOLDING SYSTEMS FOR MORE THAN 70 YEARS NOW. The Layher SpeedyScaf scaffolding revolutionised scaffolding assembly in 1965 – and Layher Allround Scaffolding has been the groundbreaking modular system on the world market since 1974. The Layher brand is recognised around the world for its quality, safety and efficiency. Our overriding priority is our customers’ lasting success – which is why we continue to improve our scaffolding systems.

OUR PRODUCTS ARE THE RESULT OF HANDS-ON EXPERIENCE AND DESIGNED TO DELIVER PRACTICAL BENEFITS. Use in everyday work determines the entire development process. In the first step, our engineers create an initial design, taking into account current standards and calculation methods. The next step is to build prototypes that are put through their paces using an in-house test rig and also at selected customer sites – only when they have passed the tests are the prototypes put into production.

INNOVATION IS WHAT ENABLES LAYHER TO PROMISE ITS CUSTOMERS MORE POSSIBILITIES – AND TO DELIVER ON THAT PROMISE. Layher scaffolding products are durable, compliant with all applicable standards, and fully combinable with one another. The focus of our development work is always on the integration of new products and on improving safety during assembly and dismantling of scaffolding. We also open up new business fields with new products.

Production and quality

WE DON’T JUST TALK ABOUT QUALITY. WE PRODUCE IT. YEAR IN, YEAR OUT. CAREFULLY CHOSEN MATERIALS, STATE-OF-THE-ART PROCESSES AND PRECISION AUTOMATION TOGETHER DELIVER THE EXCEPTIONAL STANDARDS OF QUALITY KNOWN WORLDWIDE SIMPLY AS “MADE BY LAYHER”.

Layher steel decks are manufactured from steel coils that can be up to 1.7 kilometres in length and up to 11 tons in weight. The steel is placed in a special decoiler by means of a crane and a truck. The steel is then fed from this decoiler via a straightening device to an eccentric press with a rated strength of 650 tons.

Production and quality

MAXIMUM PRODUCTION PRECISION Layher discovered the power of automation many years ago, and since then has extended and refined its use. As a result, the company continues to manufacture its products in Germany, remaining highly competitive while ensuring the high-quality products. The foundations for automated production go back 30 years, starting with the purchase of the very first semi-automatic welding machines and steel deck shaping systems. Since then, automation has been continually extended and improved, tripling in the last 10 years alone. Recent steps include the construction of a fully automatic hot-dip galvanizing plant, approximately 10,000 square metres in size and having a capacity of 80,000 tons per year. For all components required in quantities that justify automation, we employ specialist equipment and production lines designed by our own engineers. Robots are employed on a large scale in welding work, for both steel and aluminium parts. This guarantees an exceptionally high degree of precision â€“ and therefore quality. To be absolutely sure, random samples are taken after each step of the production process, and checked for exact compliance with our stringent specifications. This is how we ensure that the parts that are shipped to our customers are free from any defects. Layher continues to invest in the expansion of highly-automated manufacturing. This means that we can produce competitively in Germany and ensure consistently high quality in our products.

Production and quality

SAFETY MEASURING 21,000 KILOMETRES IN LENGTH. EACH AND EVERY YEAR. THE LATEST SAFETY STANDARDS AND CERTIFICATIONS: WITH LAYHER YOU ARE IN VERY SAFE HANDS.

Production and quality

WE PROCESS APPROXIMATELY 21,000 KILOMETRES OF STEEL TUBING EACH AND EVERY YEAR. We assume responsibility for the safety of our customers with every metre of steel tube we make. This is why one of Layher’s core tasks is quality management. Our products are compliant with the very latest safety standards and possess DIN/ISO certification, German TÜV approvals plus many other German and international seals for excellent quality. We have been DIN EN ISO 9001-certified since 1994.

UNCOMPROMISING QUALITY Our uncompromising commitment to quality is comprehensive – despite our suppliers being certified – commencing with thorough inspection of incoming goods, and impacting all areas of production. Moreover, we do not outsource any process which we regard as being a core competency. We also believe in people power – so we rely on employees who have years of experience behind them, and continually invest in skills development programmes.

GERMANY’S LARGEST HOT-DIP GALVANIZING FACILITY The two fully automated and ultra-modern galvanising facilities have a capacity of 170,000 t/year. They are certified for compliance with DASt Directive 022 and meet the latest environmental regulations and requirements.

Quality management is not just about rigorous checks at each stage of production: identification and documentation of all components is also important. At the end of its production process, therefore, every Layher component is stamped with information on the machine used, the date of manufacture and its various production parameters.

Service and expertise

MORE SPEED: LOGISTICS AND AVAILABILITY.

Layher is able to draw on scalable production resources and significant inventories, and can therefore guarantee customers extremely rapid delivery at all times. No matter what the quantity required, we can supply the right product at the right time â€“ to anywhere in the world, via subsidiaries in all five continents and a network of service centres. Our logistics processes are designed around the understanding that our customers have no time to lose: they can collect the materials they require from their nearest Layher service centre, have it shipped to their warehouse, or delivered just-in-time to the construction site. As a result, they can commence work without delay, and complete their projects to tight deadlines, without compromising on quality.

Service and expertise

MORE EXPERIENCE: ON-SITE, HANDS-ON ADVICE.

Our success is based on our customersâ€™ success. Which is why we believe in close collaboration, and on genuine, lasting partnerships. Layher engineers and other specialists get to grips with the specific challenges and imperatives of our customers, developing solutions that deliver the right results at the right price. Starting from person-to-person consultation at the site by Layher sales engineers to project planning and support by our project engineers, to advice on applications and sites. Here too Layher provides advice and support. With existing customers, it might be a case of trying a different approach. With new customers, it might be support with the first-ever deployment of Layher scaffolding. Our expertise is available anywhere in the world â€“ for a large-scale project, or for a highly specific aspect of particular application.

Service and expertise

MORE KNOWLEDGE: THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL TRAINING.

Further training as the key to success: in toughly contested markets, companies need qualified employees. For this reason, Layher organises regular theoretical and practical seminars to prepare customers for current and future challenges in scaffolding, and to show them how to make the most of Layher products â€“ for greater safety and expertise. We supplement our seminars by many further offerings, such as practical product training and round-table meetings with presentations by industry specialists and group discussions amongst scaffolding professionals. Finally, our comprehensive technical documentation is always popular, ranging from instructions for assembly and use to handy tips and in-depth technical brochures.

Service and expertise

MORE VISIBILITY: SOFTWARE AND LOGISTICS SUPPORT.

The Layher LayPLAN planning solution and Layher tools for AutoCADÂŽ enable customers to save time, make the best possible use of available resources, and to streamline their logistics. Layher software means greater reliability when it comes to budgeting and project planning, improved inventory management, and complete cost transparency. With both SpeedyScaf and Allround Scaffolding: the user simply enters the dimensions and the required scaffolding structure, and within a matter of moments the Layher software creates a scaffolding proposal, with material list and assembly sketch for the area to be enclosed, including total price and total weight â€“ available as a printout. There is no faster, more cost-effective or reliable way to plan scaffolding.

Products and systems

THE VERSATILE SOLUTION: LAYHER ALLROUND SCAFFOLDINGÂŽ.

UNIQUELY FLEXIBLE The unique combination of positive and non-positive connections in rapid bolt-free system technology with AutoLock function permits connections that are automatically right-angled, obtuse-angled and acute-angled as required, with built-in safety at the same time. Layher Allround Scaffolding has become a synonym in the marketplace for modular scaffolding. This original system has been continually improved since it was launched in 1974, and offers an unmatched variety of uses: at every construction site, in industry, chemical plants, power stations, shipyards and for events. As scaffolding for working, protection, faĂ§ades or for support, as internal or birdcage scaffolding, or as rolling towers. Even with very difficult layouts and architecture styles and with heightened safety requirements, Allround Scaffolding is always the fastest, safest and most economical solution.

Products and systems As work scaffolding and safety scaffolding at the façade, as birdcage, trestle and suspended scaffolding, or as a rolling tower – the right scaffolding at all times and for every job and requirement.

NOISE, DUST AND WEATHER PROTECTION (WINTERTIME CONSTRUCTION)

Page

Working regardless of the weather, or the protection of passers-by from a wide range of activities is made possible by Layher‘s protective systems. Temporary weather protection roofs – which can also be moved to ensure that as little material as possible is used – permit construction work in any weather and in any season. The Protect System, a dust-proof enclosure system, allows work scaffolding to be enclosed, dust and noise protection walls to be put up, or a construction site to be closed off from the outside.

ACCESSORIES AND LOGISTICS Work on flat roofs requires special fall prevention equipment, which the Layher range includes as standard parts. Logistic solutions for economical storage and rapid transport to the place of use, such as system pallets, crane eyelets or material hoists round off the Layher product range.

STAIRWAYS AND BRIDGES Accesses to high-level workplaces or to excavations. The Layher range has the right stairway for every purpose.

PLATFORM STAIRWAY TOWER With the platform stairway, it is simple to construct a 4-standard stairway tower, either integrated into the work/protective scaffolding or shoring, or as a free-standing access structure anchored on the building. Both parallel and alternating stairways are possible here. As an alternative to the platform stairway, the tower can also be built with the comfort stairway. This ensures additional safety thanks to its wider steps, and a more agreeable feeling during ascent â€“ particularly for great heights. Platform stairway: Stairway class A as per DIN EN 12811-1 Comfort stairway: Stairway class B as per DIN EN 12811-1 Permissible load capacity of platform stairway towers: 2.0 kN/m2

CONSTRUCTION STAIRWAY TOWER 200 With the Allround construction stairway tower 200, each stairway is assembled from 2 separate U-stairway stringers 200, with standard decks used as steps. On the one hand this reduces the weight/volume of the individual parts, and on the other hand even more stairway width variants are possible. Ideal for use as a convenient access to high-level workplaces, as an escape route and for access to containers. Stairway stringer 200, 10 steps, L = 2.57 m, H = 2.00 m: Permissible load 2.0 kN/m2 with a stair flight width of 1.29 m. Stairway dimensions: Riser s = 20 cm Step width 32 cm (tread a = 24 cm; undercut u = 8 cm) 26

Construction above ground

UNFINISHED-BUILDING STAIRWAY TOWER The Layher Allround unfinished-building stairway tower fits into many stairway recesses in buildings to house one or more families. It puts an end to improvised and dangerous stairway or ladder solutions inside an unfinished building: thanks to short assembly times with prefabricated and lightweight individual parts, and to its variability with regard to the levels for entries and exits in 25 cm steps. Bracket attachments furthermore allow it to be used as work scaffolding for work on the stairway well walls. By using adapter plates, the screed can be laid without any problem and without dismantling the unfinished-building stairway tower. Surface area without brackets: 1.57 x 1.40 m (axis dimension) 1.70 x 1.53 (external dimension) Exit clearances: 2.50 or 2.75 or 3.00 m Permissible load capacity: 2.5 kN/m2

STAIRWAY TOWER 750 The stairway tower 750 with child-safety guardrail is intended, in view of its riser dimensions, for both temporary and permanent stairway structures in public areas. Typical applications are as road-crossings during building work, as stairways inside buildings for the duration of the construction work, as a mandatory escape stairway tower or as a construction stairway tower. For the events field, the stairway tower 750 has a high load-bearing capacity, allowing it to be used for accessing stands and stages. Lockable enclosure variants round off the product range for public stairway accesses. Stairway stringer 750, 8 steps, L = 2.57 m, H = 1.50 m: Permissible load 7.5 kN/m2 with a stair flight width of 2.07 m. Stairway dimensions: Riser s = 16.7 cm Step width 32 cm (tread a = 31 cm; undercut u = 1 cm) A height adjustment outside the 1.50 m standard height dimension is achieved with 5 or 2-step stairway stringers. 8 decks per stair flight.

TRENCH BRIDGES Assembled on one side and swung into place by a crane, they quickly create temporary links. For access to the unfinished building above the excavation or as an emergency bridge over streams and rivers, only standard Allround parts and steel decks are needed. You can determine the span using the bay length and the number of bays. Standard versions for load class 3 (2.00 kN/mÂ˛) with optional 3-part side protection. In certain conditions the free cantilevered method can be used for assembly. 28

Construction above ground

TEMPORARY BRIDGES – BRIDGING LARGE SPANS Large spans of up to about 30 m can be bridged using the Allround bridging system. This modular lattice system is fully combinable with Layher Allround Scaffolding thanks to the attached wedge-heads. With just a few additional parts, the load-bearing capacity of the proven Allround system can be increased, for example to build wide-span footbridges or bracing structures for heavy loads. The design permits problem-free and safe pre-assembly on the ground and then lifting of the assembled bridge into place using a crane. Live loads of 5.00 kN/m² or 7.50 kN/m² for use in areas open to the public. Besides its classic use as a pedestrian bridge, it can also be used without any problem to bridge gaps in façade scaffolding, to strengthen birdcage scaffolding or to strengthen roofs. The lattice beam of modular design can be easily integrated into existing structures, removing the need for complicated and expensive

REINFORCING, CONCRETING AND FAĂ‡ADE SCAFFOLDING

REINFORCING SCAFFOLDING Unhindered access to the wall and beam reinforcements is possible without anchoring. Stability is assured by simple bracing and where necessary also by widening the base. Standard version with strong hot-dip galvanized steel decks. With the right bay lengths you can ensure access to all relevant components, while inside guardrails and brackets provide safety even at some distance from the wall. The scaffolding width can be adapted to the space required. Attachment of the advance guardrail system on both sides of the scaffolding ensures a high degree of safety during assembly itself. It can be moved by crane at any time thanks to tension-proof pinning of the standard joints. Widths: 0.73 m, 1.09 m or 1.40 m (optionally also with stairway).

Construction above ground

CONCRETING SCAFFOLDING WITH CAVITY WALL BRACKETS Concreting work on cavity walls requires access to the walls from above. Due to the push-pull props needed, it is often not feasible to work here with conventional standard scaffolding. Thanks to the cavity wall bracket adapter, bracket-mounted walkways made of standard Allround material can be constructed. Variably adaptable in height and bay length, so that the space needed for the angled props can be kept clear. Non-slip steel decks, a 3-part side protection (also possible all round facing the wall) and very fast assembly thanks to the proven Allround wedge-head technology are also standard features. 31

FAÇADE SCAFFOLDING USING ALLROUND SCAFFOLDING® With its unbeatable adaptability, Allround Scaffolding is the perfect choice for very irregular structures. Particularly in the case of projections, recesses, and niches, the advantages of Allround Scaffolding come to the fore. All work can be performed very efficiently using Allround Scaffolding. As a work and protection scaffolding for bricklayers, concrete workers, carpenters, plumbers, roofers, plasterers and painters, Allround Scaffolding caters for many different requirements all at once. Allround Scaffolding has received building authority approval from DIBt (German Civil Engineering Institute) as façade scaffolding under Z-8.22-64 and Z-8.22-939. If there is any divergence from the standard assembly, structural verifications are available very quickly – so no delays in assembly. For great façade heights, integrated stairways access is particularly suitable for non-fatiguing ascent and easier transport of materials and tools.

TG 60 shoring towers can be assembled at the site either upright or, thanks to their high fitting precision, lying on the ground, for subsequent crane movement. Fully assembled towers can be moved using easy-to-fit wheels.

The innovative assembly sequence and the integrated access aid make the assembly of a shoring tower safer than ever before. During upright assembly, you are always protected by an automatically integrated side protection â€“ without any further safety equipment.

Allround Shoring TG 60 can be adapted without problems to any local conditions. Height adjustment at the top and bottom, and geometry adaptations at the edge, can easily be done using the Allround construction kit. 35

Construction above ground

Allround Shoring TG 60 permits the laying of a deck level for safer work on the ceiling formwork. A gap-free and non-slip work surface is assured by perforated steel decks with maximum load capacity. It is also easy to integrate accesses in the form of access bays or platform stairways into the shoring. Combination of shoring and work scaffolding with one system. This allows all the current safety-related requirements to be implemented quickly and easily.

Shoring with truck access is possible even without the use of bridging structures with heavy steel beams. Simple lattice structures can bridge the usual access widths of around 4 â€“ 5 m.

For very heavy loads, the shoring towers can be reinforced by additional frames. Combining frames allows the load capacity to be increased to almost any level. The picture shows shoring for absorbing a line load of 250 kN/m.

Concreting of building projections is not problem even at great heights thanks to the modular Allround system. The towers are braced using system components, i.e. without time-consuming constructions made of pipe and couplers. Bracket-mounted walkways with side protection at their edges are quick to assemble.

When the prefabricated ceiling slabs (e.g. for balconies or arcades) are lifted into place, the TG 60 shoring towers ensure the necessary stability instead of single supports. Shoring towers connected to one another are per se non-positively connected, allowing the prefabricated slabs to be shifted into their exact position. Swaying and shaky substructure made from single supports often made this assembly work difficult in the past. 37

Construction above ground

The variable system also permits support in the manufacture of tall and wall-like concrete beams cast in-situ, with semifinished ceiling slabs laid between them. Material optimisation by absorbing the ceiling loads using a latticework of Allround standard components between the shoring towers. No need for additional towers in the intermediate spaces.

Construction above ground

Shoring TG 60 can also be used as a substructure for pre-assembled slab tables. Thanks to a tension-proof connection of the head jacks to the slab tables, the unit can be moved by crane complete and in a time-saving way. With attached wheels, the slabs can be moved horizontally inside a storey level.

NOISE, DUST AND WEATHER PROTECTION (WINTERTIME CONSTRUCTION) PROTECTIVE WALLS AND ENCLOSURES Noise control, privacy screening or dust protection walls can be built easily, quickly and safely using Allround Scaffolding and the Layher Protect System.

The modular Protect System consists of cassette elements easily fitted to the scaffolding and optionally provided with a galvanized steel sheet or a translucent plastic ribbed panel. An all-round rubber seal ensures a neat and precisely fitting connection to the adjacent elements. The result is a dustproof, weatherproof and noise-reducing partition wall between the site and the environment. Work scaffolding for modernisation or demolition work can be sealed off dust-tight to protect passers-by from dust, noise and pollutants.

Technical data: Thermal insulation of light cassette: 3.3 W/mÂ˛ K Airborne sound insulation of wall cassette: Râ€˜w= 26 dB 42

WEATHER PROTECTION ROOFS There are a wide range of reasons for using weather protection roofs. Work on buildings, bridges or roads during winter, despite rain and snow. Work on roofs and adding new storeys can be performed while the building is still in use. The different system Layher cassette roof and Layher Keder Roof XL offer the right solution for a wide range of applications. For small, medium or very large spans â€“ even with snow loads. Optional ties and solutions for ridge supports make it possible to increase spans almost indefinitely. The roof systems can be made mobile by Layher, to ensure economical use of materials and to permit supplies to the site by crane.

CASSETTE ROOF The Layher cassette roof has established itself as a firm favourite at construction sites for conversion, added storeys, renovation and restoration. The structure itself and all the equipment is protected during conversion

MOBILE ROOFS Layher's Keder Roof XL can be made mobile using a small number of additional components. That makes this roof system even more economical, when for example only single building phases have to be roofed. Openings for supply by crane can be created simply by pushing the roof sections apart. The bay width of the roof can be selected regardless of the bay width of the support scaffolding. Assembly is made enormously easier, since the roof is assembled bay by bay from gable scaffolding and can be pushed forward. Minor divergences in the parallelism of the two support scaffolding structures are compensated by a transverse trolley movement.

ACCESSORIES AND LOGISTICS FLAT ROOF GUARDRAILS The rules of the professional association (BGV) regarding health and safety when working C22 "Construction work" require a fall prevention system at workplaces and walkways on roofs where the fall height is more than 2 m. The GS-tested flat roof guardrail meets this requirement. With a few additional components for the Allround system, the flat roof side protection is easy, quick and safe to assemble.

BALUSTRADE CLAMP The accident prevention regulations of the professional associations are also met with the Layher balustrade clamp. It can be used for concrete floors and fascias of 16 to 33 cm height and for flat roofs. The guardrail is constructed with Allround Scaffolding or SpeedyScaf guardrails.

PALLETS Layer also thought about storage and safer transportation, because sound logistics are essential for successful work at the site. For some system components, special system pallets are available. They are designed for space-saving storage, movement by crane or fork-lift truck, stackability and long life. For all other components, an extensive range of non-system pallets and skeleton boxes is available: sturdily made of steel and corrosion-resistant thanks to hot-dip galvanizing. This ensures that in a very short time you can get the right material to the right place, exactly as you need it.

TUNNEL SCAFFOLDING AND TUNNEL TRUCKS

TUNNEL TRUCKS FOR REINFORCEMENT WORK AND SUBSEQUENT WORK Work on tunnel ceilings for reinforcement or other treatments require a work platform that adapts to the curving tunnel ceiling. No problem at all with flexible Allround Scaffolding. Scaffolding that moves to keep pace with the building progress can be a crucial advantage, as it reduces the use of material to what is necessary for structural strength and the design. Wheels of differing load capacity, up to rail-mounted flanged wheels, ensure a mobile scaffolding structure for a wide range of applications. The scaffolding can be matched to practically any contour, making them usable even in poorly accessible spots. Pre-assembly of complete scaffolding units and subsequent crane movement to where they are used is possible even with large scaffolding.

STAIRWAY TOWERS â€“ FREE-STANDING AND SUSPENDED Platform stairway towers can be assembled for access to excavations or shafts in a free-standing design. Both unidirectional and material-saving alternating construction with inner guardrails is possible. Available as a scaffolding stairway of Classes A or B as per DIN EN 12811-1, in step widths of 64 cm and 94 cm.

Construction, below ground

Thanks to tension-proof pinning of the standard joints, platform stairway towers can also be assembled suspended from top to bottom. With the new Allround LW standards, this is even possible without special suspended scaffolding standards. An interesting application in underground construction for sites using the cut-and-cover method.

ALLROUND SHORING TG 60 With Allround Shoring TG 60, support structures for concreting work on bridge superstructures can be constructed easily, quickly and safely. The TG 60 frames can be integrated into any Allround birdcage scaffolding to selective increase its loading capacity. The birdcage scaffolding is always braced using system ledgers and diagonal braces instead of time-consuming tube and coupler connections. Integrated stairway accesses or all-round bracket-mounted walkways can be assembled both easily and quickly. The system dimensions allow any standard components to be combined and installed. The easy combination with the Allround construction kit permits adaptation to even the most difficult geometries and yet the absorption of very high loads. Combined solutions of shoring and work scaffolding with integrated stairway accesses are possible.

Bridge construction

ALLROUND HEAVY-DUTY TOWER/HEAVY-DUTY SUPPORT Combining four Allround standards using twin edge couplers allows very high point loads of up to around 200 kN (20 t) to be absorbed by the birdcage scaffolding. The individual support can be used vertically, horizontally or inclined.

PROTECTIVE ENCLOSURES

Bridge construction

For protection from dropped working materials or blasting material during corrosion prevention work on bridges with intersecting roads or rail lines, work scaffolding can be enclosed with tarpaulins or the Layher Protect System. The cassettes of the Protect System ensure dust-proof and wind-proof protection here, so that traffic passing below can continue to flow despite modernisation work on bridge pillars, pylons or supporting cables. For less ambitious enclosures, Layher offers an extensive range of scaffolding tarpaulins and nets, which can be assembled quickly and easily thanks to non-system accessory parts.

PILLAR ACCESS â€“ STAIRWAY TOWERS IN MODULAR DESIGN STAIRWAY TOWERS Layher stairway towers can be used for a wide variety of accesses to bridges. For building new bridges or modernising existing ones, Layher always had the ideal solution to hand. Free-standing or suspended. Compact in a very cramped space, or extensive and comfortable. Integration into existing work scaffolding or shoring is also possible. Perfect height adjustment of the entry and exit levels is of course also possible. A comprehensive product range of stairway systems is available for a wide range of access requirements.

ALLROUND MODULAR STAIRWAY TOWER The Allround modular stairway tower is the perfect solution for access to excavations, unfinished buildings and formwork at sites, and much more besides. Thanks to the 2.21 metre long Allround standard, the stairway tower has no joint-overlapping components and can be pre-assembled safely on the ground, level by level, and then emplaced by crane. Accesses are possible at both the ends and at the sides. You also have the benefit of 20 cm more headroom from a unidirectional stairway than from a conventional one. Thanks to the type approval for an assembly height of up to 115 metres, no further structural strength verifications are necessary. Surface area: 1.40 x 2.57 m Permissible load capacity: 2.0 kN/mÂ˛ Unidirectional or alternating design possible Safer pre-assembly on the ground Verified type approval for up to 115 m height Conforms to comfort stairway of stairway class B as per DIN EN 1211-1

TEMPORARY REPLACEMENT BRIDGES

ALLROUND BRIDGING SYSTEM The modular-designed Allround bridging system permits the construction of wide-span temporary footbridges with only a few additional parts to Allround Scaffolding. The Allround bridging system is a modular lattice beam which is connected outside the Allround structure in the system dimensions of the twin wedge coupler. If the replacement bridge is for use by the public, additional features such as child safety guardrails, enclosures using the Layher Protect System or roofing is available. Temporary replacement bridges made from Allround Scaffolding and the Allround bridging system can be completely pre-assembled on the ground and then emplaced using a crane on the spot. This reduces the closure times for traffic routes to a minimum. To reduce deformations in the case of wide spans, the beam can be pre-assembled with a deliberate camber.
