Why Use MORGEN Scaffolding on High Rise Buildings?
By using Morgen Adjustable Scaffolding, Axel Ohman Co. of St. Paul, Minn., could start masonry work approximately two months before the concrete frame was done on the new St. Paul City-County Hospital. The masons were only two floors behind when the concrete crew started the last floor.
This speed-up of the whole job couldn't have been done with suspended scaffolding. The Morgen towers made it easy to scaffold the curved walls of the clover-leaf shaped building. The towers, extending well above the working platform, make construction of overhead protection a simple matter.
Morgen Scaffolding is often practical on such high rise buildings. Contractors report it cuts weeks from the estimated job time, not only by letting the masons start earlier, but because the masonry work sets the pace for electrical and plumbing sub-contractors, who must get their material into the wall before it is enclosed.
Ohman used 70 towers to surround half of the upper structure of this building, parts of which reached a height of 100 feet. Morgen Scaffolding has no height limit, can carry all the load that can be placed on 2" planks. Get the whole money-making story on Morgen Scaffolding now!
