AI Technical Summary

⚠Technical Problem

The deployment of suspended scaffolds in construction projects is hindered by the lack of standardization and structural unsoundness of roofs and parapets, necessitating lengthy permit processes and extensive engineering reviews, which prolong project timelines.

⚗Method used

A Z-shaped anchoring apparatus that allows for quick deployment of scaffolding without requiring detailed plans or parapet reinforcement, using a first element with a surface and a second perpendicular element to house a counterweight, coupled to suspension scaffolds or tie-back accessories, and optionally featuring a support arm for free-standing operation.

🎯Benefits of technology

Enables standardized, rapid assembly of scaffolding systems, bypassing lengthy approval processes and structural reinforcement needs, ensuring safety and efficiency in facade repairs.

Abstract

A Z-shaped anchoring apparatus for suspended scaffolding, the apparatus comprising: a Z-shaped anchoring plate comprising a first horizontally protruding element, a second opposable protruding element, and a vertical middle element continuously coupling the first and second elements; a support arm positioned between the vertical middle element of the anchoring plate and a back wall of a parapet; at least one threaded rod and nut assembly securing the first element of the anchoring plate to a top wall of the support arm to support a suspended scaffold for vertical movement along a façade of a structure; and a counterweight disposed on a top surface of the second element of the anchoring plate to counterbalance the weight of the suspended scaffold.
