Wind Loading Calculations for Sheeted Scaffolds

When a job needs wind loading calculations for sheeted scaffolds, you want engineers who have done it many times before. Access Design & Safety has been producing scaffold, falsework and formwork designs since 2010.

A good scaffold design does more than tick a box. It tells the erectors exactly what to build, keeps the material count sensible and gives the principal contractor confidence that the structure will do its job.

Wind Loading Calculations for Sheeted Scaffolds: What You Need to Know

Sheeting and netting turn a scaffold into a sail. The wind loads go up sharply and so do the forces on every tie. Calculations to EN 1991-1-4 take account of site location, height, exposure and the type of cladding used. Get it wrong and the scaffold can fail. Get it right and it stays put through the worst of the British weather.
