Attention architects and planners!
First the duty and then the freestyle.
Our isorocket® permanent scaffolding anchor is neither a nice-to-have nor a technical gimmick. Rather, isorocket® is ‘state of the art’. The basis for the development of the innovative permanent scaffolding anchor is the DIN 4426 industry standard applicable in Germany, which defines the characteristic loads to be fulfilled (perpendicular and parallel to the façade). This standard is not binding in your country, but provides you with important information on the performance that a permanent scaffolding anchor should fulfil.
Extract: DIN 4426, number 7
(Anchoring scaffolding to facades)
If the load-bearing components of an external wall are provided with façade constructions that cannot absorb the anchoring forces of temporary workstations, permanent devices for anchoring temporary workstations must be provided for future work on the façade. The installation company must confirm and document the installation location and the load-bearing capacity in accordance with the technical building regulations.
NOTE
These façade constructions include, for example, curtain walls, thermal insulation composite systems and double-skin masonry. For façade scaffolding, the permanent devices for anchoring must be designed as follows:
- The vertical distance between the anchoring levels must not exceed 4.0 m.
- The anchorages must be designed for at least the following characteristic actions:
- at right angles to the façade 2.25 kN per meter of façade length,
- parallel to the façade 0.75 kN per meter of façade length.
- If the vertical distance is less than 4.0 m, the forces may be reduced proportionally. The specified forces must be doubled at building edges (e.g. eaves edges, building corners).
- Anchoring devices may be dispensed with if
- façade access systems are available, or
- the eaves height of the building does not exceed 8 m.
NOTE
Further information can be found in the leaflet “Scaffolding for work on facades with thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS)”.
With the unique component structure and the sustained focus on the topic of façade protection, we offer you not only convincing, but also unrivalled added value with the isorocket® permanent scaffolding anchor.
