The steel structure of the gallery above several silos of a major cereal cooperative first had to be sandblasted over a length of 100 metres and then repainted – at a height of more than 30 metres. That was made possible by a material-saving and hence economical bridging structure made using Layher’s beam solutions: the Allround FW System and the aluminium FlexBeam. A solution with a system.

• Precise planning using 3D in LayPLAN CAD, plus close consultation with the client based on the digital twin of the scaffolding
• Building of supporting structures made from Allround Scaffolding between the silos
• Faster and safer assembly on the ground of clear-span bridging structures using the Allround FW System, followed by lifting them into place on both sides of the gallery by crane
• Connection of the bridging structures to the aluminium FlexBeam underneath the gallery – thus ensuring that fewer suspension points were needed and decks for the work platform were also easy to lay
• Cladding of the bridging structures with the Protect System for protection of the gallery during work
• Training of local scaffolding erectors by Layher’s training engineers during initial deployment of the beam solutions, plus on-site support
