14 1 June Bracing (using Scaffold Bracing) Careful consideration should ALWAYS be given bracing which may be required for the reasons given below. A combination of standard scaffold tube and various scaffolding fittings are normally used for the bracing. See section 5.2 for typical connection details. BS 5975: Code of Practice for Falsework sets out the requirements for lateral stability Stability of ping During Installation If the structure requiring propping can provide adequate lateral stability once the props are in position and fixed p and botm, then the props may only need be braced ensure stability during installation. In these cases the bracing needs be designed for the lateral loadings be expected during installation (e.g. wind). Structure being propped provides lateral stability SC-SC 2No. TF018 or S3/GGC per connection s braced during installation Bracing removed AFTER fixings installed at p and base NB: Provided the props are subsequently released and removed one at a time then it may not be necessary brace the props during dismantling Stability of a ping System Which Needs Provide Lateral Stability as Well as Support Vertical Loading If the propping system is required support vertical load and provide lateral stability, then bracing will always be required. In these cases the bracing system needs be designed carry a minimum of 2½% of the vertical load on each prop or the actual horizontal forces applied if these are greater (e.g. wind, non-verticality of legs etc). Note: The overall stability of any propping system scheme needs be taken in consideration during erection, usage and dismantling. A structure which has adequate internal bracing may still be unstable globally. ALWAYS INCLUDE AN OVERALL STABILITY CHECK IN THE DESIGN P1 P2 P3 Horizontal Forces Installation Application of Load For further information on bracing of shoring, contact Mabey s Engineers for assistance.

These guidelines are purely advisory and only state some of the many working practices or conditions that may arise using. They should not be used replace any existing safety procedures. It is recommended that all personnel using familiarise themselves with these guidelines. Mabey strongly recommend that the use of is designed and any deviation from the design drawing must be approved by the engineer before continuing with the installation. Ensure that all health and safety and regulations are adhered. Inspect all equipment before using and never try use any damaged / deteriorated equipment. Bent s should never be used. Ensure that all bolted connections remain tight. Ensure the verticality of the prop during erection / before loading using a spirit level or similar. Be sure inspect erected props before and immediately after load is applied. Be sure use the manufacturers recommended safe working loads relevant the length of the (a Technical Data Sheet is available on request). To enable correct distribution of loads on props ensure that a solid footing is achieved and maintained. Ensure that all props are loaded concentrically. To ensure stability, all single vertical props should have sufficient bracing (see Sections 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3) and have a Holding Down Baseplate bolted its base (BS 5975: Code of Practice for Falsework sets out the requirements for lateral stability). In order provide a safe system of work for erection / installation / dismantling, it will be necessary create a suitable method statement / risk assessment. If in any doubt always consult a Mabey Representative or Mabey Engineer and never take risks. It is advised that all such work should be carried out by suitably trained and experienced personnel. 8. Erection and Dismantling Mabey are suppliers of hire equipment and when hiring the sole responsibility for adopting a Safe System of Work for all assembly, erection, dismantling and stability (both during erection, dismantling and loading) of the equipment on site remains with the Client. Mabey recommend that a typical erection crew should comprise a foreman and three operatives, competent in basic structural steel erection with a site manager in overall control of the workforce. Appropriate mechanical plant will be required.
