Temporary Works Design

Temporary Works Design involves the planning, design, and implementation of temporary structures, supports, and systems to enable construction, maintenance, or demolition activities. These temporary works are crucial for ensuring safety, stability, and efficiency on construction sites where permanent structures may not yet be in place.

Supporting calculations in Temporary Works Design typically involve analyzing loads, stresses, and structural stability to ensure that temporary structures can safely support the intended loads and conditions. This may include calculations for factors such as structural capacity, bearing capacity of the ground, stability against overturning, and deflection limits.

Engineers use various methods and software tools to perform these calculations, considering factors such as material properties, environmental conditions, and relevant safety standards. The goal is to design temporary works that are robust, cost-effective, and compliant with regulations while supporting the construction process effectively.

Scaffold Design

Scaffold Design involves the planning, specification, and construction of temporary structures to support workers and materials during construction, maintenance, or repair activities at elevated levels. These structures provide safe access and working platforms, ensuring that workers can perform tasks efficiently and securely.

Supporting calculations in scaffold design are crucial to ensure the structural integrity and stability of the scaffold system. These calculations typically include:

Load calculations: Determining the loads that the scaffold will be subjected to, including the weight of workers, materials, equipment, and environmental loads such as wind or snow.
Structural analysis: Assessing the strength and stability of scaffold components, including tubes, couplers, boards, and connectors, to ensure they can withstand the loads applied.
Stability analysis: Evaluating the overall stability of the scaffold system, including resistance to overturning, sliding, or collapse, considering factors such as base support, bracing, and tie-backs.
Deflection calculations: Assessing the permissible deflection of scaffold components and platforms to ensure they meet safety standards and provide a stable working surface.

Engineers use mathematical equations, structural analysis software, and industry standards such as the National Access & Scaffolding Confederation (NASC) and HSA Code of Practice for Access and Working Scaffolds guidelines to perform these calculations. The goal is to design scaffolds that are safe, stable, and compliant with regulatory requirements, minimizing risks to workers and maximizing efficiency in construction operations.

Additional CAD Services

Additional CAD services, including fabrication drawings and 3D modeling, enhance the design and manufacturing process for various industries, particularly in steelwork fabrication. Fabrication drawings provide detailed technical information necessary for the production of steel components, while 3D modeling offers a comprehensive visual representation of the final product.

Fabrication drawings involve the creation of detailed plans and specifications for individual steel components, such as beams, columns, and connections. These drawings include precise dimensions, material specifications, welding details, and assembly instructions. Fabricators use these drawings as a guide for cutting, shaping, and assembling steel materials, ensuring accuracy and consistency throughout the manufacturing process.

In addition to fabrication drawings, 3D modeling allows for the creation of virtual representations of steel structures. Using CAD software, engineers and designers can generate 3D models that accurately depict the geometry, layout, and assembly of steel components within the overall structure. This enables stakeholders to visualize the project more effectively, identify potential issues, and make informed decisions before fabrication begins.

Empowering Projects with Temporary Works Expertise
At Atlantic Temporary Works & Scaffold Design; the core of seamless integration between temporary and permanent structures lies a meticulous approach guided by stringent industry regulations. Ensuring the safety and integrity of support conditions crucial for scaffolding is fundamental to project success.
Our expertise is pivotal in delineating precise loading conditions imposed by scaffolding and identifying supplementary stabilization needs. Early involvement in projects assures adherence to professional standards and client expectations, fostering timely and efficient business operations:

Seamless IntegrationThe coordination between temporary and permanent structures demands a
careful, integrated strategy. Temporary works, like scaffolding, are integral but transitional components that must seamlessly merge with the permanent infrastructure. Our approach ensures that these structures complement each other efficiently, enhancing overall project stability and functionality.
Adherence to Regulations: Stringent industry regulations set the benchmarks for safety and
compliance. Our adherence to these regulations is non-negotiable. We ensure that every aspect of
the temporary works, from design to implementation, complies with these standards, mitigating
risks and guaranteeing a safe working environment.
Critical Support Conditions: Scaffolding relies heavily on the support conditions provided by the
ground or existing structures. Our expertise lies in meticulously assessing and ensuring that these
conditions can effectively bear the imposed loadings. This assessment involves comprehensive
analysis and calculations, ensuring the stability and safety of the scaffolding setup.
Precise Loading Conditions: Each scaffolding setup carries specific loading conditions that need
precise delineation. Understanding and calculating these loads are essential to design a structure
that can handle them safely. Our expertise ensures that these loading conditions are accurately
assessed, preventing any unexpected structural failures.
Supplementary Stabilization Needs:
Identifying additional stabilization requirements is crucial. Our early involvement allows us to foresee and address potential stability issues. Whether it's adapting to environmental factors, changing loads, or unforeseen circumstances, we proactively identify and design supplementary stabilization measures.
Early Involvement for Efficiency:
Early engagement in projects is key. By being part of the project from its inception, we can align designs with professional standards and client expectations. This not only enhances safety but also streamlines project timelines and resource utilization, promoting
efficiency from the outset.

In essence, our meticulous approach and expertise serve as proactive safeguards, ensuring that
temporary structures like scaffolding not only meet regulatory standards but also seamlessly
integrate into the project landscape, supporting safe, efficient, and successful project execution.
