Scaffolding in industrial construction projects: current practices, issues, and potential solutions
Scaffolding is a temporary structure whose configuration and location change as the construction progresses. As scaffolding is used and shared by multiple trades, its interaction with different construction activities often entails challenges and issues that emerge only after construction commences. Managing scaffolding in industrial construction is more challenging due to project complexity and size. The purpose of this paper is to understand how scaffolding is completed, what issues are typically encountered, and what potential solutions may be generated in the context of industrial construction projects. The research team reviewed the literature and conducted 11 interviews with scaffolding professionals. It also conducted 2 review sessions with a three-expert panel to summarize the scaffolding practice and to consolidate the findings into a list of 22 scaffolding-related issues with the causes. These issues are further grouped into four categories according to potential solutions provided. The study offers a comprehensive view of industrial scaffolding and its management and puts forward solutions to improve scaffolding management in industrial construction.
