All scaffolds are required to transmit their loads to the surface upon which the structure is mounted. And, this means much attention should always be placed on the foundation to ensure the structure’s stability and safety when in use. A base plate is essential in offering a solid foundation to the components of scaffolding. This accessory is designed to offer a platform onto which the standards are rooted to ensure that the load of the structure is transferred and evenly distributed towards the base, thereby enhancing its stability.
The fundamental role of a base-plate is to ensure that the form work and entire structure is kept in a stable position when supporting different load capacities. As a result of this, you should always acquire base plates from an accomplished company that can deliver the best quality products. At Singapore Scaffolding, we offer superior quality base plates and other scaffolding products that are highly efficient and versatile. Besides, we also offer customized base plates for specific scaffolding tasks.
Benefits of Using a Base Plate in Scaffolding
Some people usually argue that why use a base plate when they can simply place wooden boards at the base of the scaffold stands. However, it should be noted that even on a concrete slab or grounds that look leveled, the structure can easily sink into the ground or break when loads are mounted onto it. Wooden boards like plywood are very weak and may not hold the scaffold for long, thereby exposing workers to danger.
Base plates are carved from metals, which gives them great strength to support heavy loads without breaking apart or giving room for penetration of scaffold stands. Base plates can always work in all kinds of grounds, including uneven surfaces. As a result of this, the scaffold can be mounted onto just any work site without the fear of accidents or causing damage to a concrete slab.
Base plates are also recommended because they can be easily moved or adjusted to suit diverse working conditions. After completing the task that you are doing, base plates can be easily dismantled and moved to another work site without any problems. However, it is always important to assess the condition of the work site in order to know how to properly erect the base plates for scaffolding safety and stability.
