In the interests of making the assembly of rolling towers even safer, Layher is now introducing the innovative “P2 Safety Structure”: When utilising this new process, the user benefits from an optimum clearance of 2 metres between the decks. The rear guardrails, already fitted ahead of access, form an advancing side and end protection. In this way, both the builders and the users of mobile working platforms are always safeguarded – legally speaking too.
After a construction period of just 10 months, Layher put into operation a new hot-dip galvanizing facility in March. Thanks to this facility, the system scaffolding specialist not only guarantees the quality of its products and its delivery capability, but also safeguards jobs in the region.
Several hundred visitors, a lot of enquiries, and many interesting orders: that's the extremely successful balance sheet from our attendance of prolight + sound from 1 – 4 April in Frankfurt.
When melting snows coincide with persistent rainfall, the Rhine tends to overflow its banks fairly quickly. Cologne on the Rhine is regularly threatened by flooding in January and February, and is Europe's most endangered city in this respect. In the last century alone, the Rhine surpassed the nine-meter mark 21 times – and that usually meant considerable damage. A reason for the cathedral city to devise its flood protection concept in 1996. 
"New York meets the Grand Canyon" could be the slogan for one of Europe's biggest inner-city construction sites. That's not only because of the skyscrapers that give Frankfurt its "Mainhattan" nickname, but also because of the so-called "Zeil Canyon" currently being built just five minutes away from the main station.
From 1 – 4 April 2009, Layher will be presenting to a specialist audience at prolight + sound in Frankfurt its new products for stage and stand construction. A Layher team will be present at Stand 69 in Hall 8.0 to provide visitors with comprehensive information on the latest developments.
Snow-capped mountain peaks glistening in the sun – an image that probably pops into many people's minds when they think about downhill skiing events.
Layher’s range now includes the newly designed Aluminium Telescopic Bridging Beam, which in conjunction with Layher work trestles creates a safe working platform. This new bridging beam is not only simple to handle and transport; its torsion-stiff section and wide standing surface also ensure safety when working.
The fluorescent orange plastic decks were used at a site of the company Nietiedt Gerüstbau from Wilhelmshaven: A Layher SpeedyScaf scaffolding of more than 4,000 m² was built around a three-story residential block in Wickratherstrasse, Düsseldorf. It was completely decked, except for the hatches, using the extremely lightweight and 0.61 m wide FIPRO decks. Thanks to the weight saving, the company's team in Gelsenkirchen took much less than the estimated assembly time when handling this contract.
The starting gun for further expansion: in November, Wilhelm Layher GmbH & Co. KG held its ground-breaking ceremony to mark the official start of building work on its "Plant II" in the "Burgweg" industrial zone. The southern outskirts of Güglingen will be the future home to the entire production of aluminium and wooden components, while the main plant in Eibensbach will be the centre for the manufacture of steel scaffolding.
