FA-48 ® Facade Scaffolding

The scaffolding frame FA-48 ® has been developed thinking about the several daily situations with which the technicians have to deal in civil construction and public buildings.

By assuming essential concepts such as security, flexibility and reliability we have conceived outstanding equipment which associates a multiplicity of combinations and a singular quality able to give exact answers to the needs of the most demanding professionals.

certify of quality

The FA-48 ® scaffolding is conceived according to the disposed in norms EH12810, HD1000 and HD1039 and it offers concepts as security, quality and robustness through technical innovative solutions which give all the guarantees needed when working.

Besides all the strict internal tests (quality and resistance) to which all the FA-48 ®components are periodically submitted, this equipment is certificate and guaranteed by an independent laboratory of great international prestige.

vantages and benefits

SIMPLICITY_ The scaffolding FA-48 ® is composed by few basics elements and planned considering the lowest weight possible.

FLEXIBILITY_ This scaffolding system is adjustable to all kinds of use, answering efficiently the most specific needs in facade covering.

VERSATILITY_ The FA-48 ® allows the covering of facades geometrically complexes with total safety. It is for this reason that many professionals consider it indispensable for rehabilitation works, for buildings and structures maintenance, for covering applications and civil construction in general.

MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS_ At the moment of the FA-48 ® conception the multiple solicitations to which a scaffold may be subject at working have been beard in mind. An assemblage of accessories such as guard rails, consoles, bracket transoms, exterior ladders, etc… allows to solve with safety difficult assembling problems.

QUALITY_ All the metallic elements of the FA-48 ® scaffolding are made of steel and hot galvanized which gives it higher resistance to corrosion increasing significantly its useful life time.

security and use advices

The security of each worker is an essential value and we consider indispensable the accomplishment of the Security, Hygiene and Health in work plan. Therefore, this should be considered at work as a group task and not as a set if imposed administrative procedures.

The scaffolding construction in a safe way implies the responsibility of all the intervenient parts in its conception and construction process.

It is essential to guarantee its security as well as users’ or others’ who may be affected by its actions.

Scaffoldings without security are an important cause for accidents. The risks are bigger for those who don’t know or don’t prevent them. Avoid accidents.

Take special cares when you begin the scaffolding assembly:

Check if the scaffolding is adequate concerning height, the number of people that are going to use it, the work that has to be done and the protections required by law;

Check ground’s solidity; check and use resistant bases to support the loads transmitted by the plumb line. Even if the ground is solid you should be aware that rain may reduce considerably its resistance capacity. Therefore, it is essential to distribute the loads transmitted by the plumb lines by elements of higher sections and strength, interpolated between the bases and the ground in order to reduce the tensions invested;

Observe the manual of assembly instructions and, if it is the case, follow the imposed dispositions by the given project;

Use the security individual protection equipments.

Assure the adequate anchorage using the prescribed moorings; these should be done in stable and resistant zones such as those of concrete. You shouldn’t do anchorage in points which don’t guarantee the necessary resistant capacity.
Don’t forget that to determine the number of anchorages you should know if the scaffolding will be lined with protection net, anchorages should be reinforced due to the accidental action of the wind. If necessary you should consult a specialized technician to do the necessary calculations.

Don’t allow interval’s superior to 30cm between the wall and the scaffolding ground and establish interior guard rails when the span is superior.

Establish appropriate accessibilities between the different levels in the scaffoldings.
