Other recent suspended scaffold projects include: 50-60 Binney Street, Cambridge, for Karas & Karas Glass Yotel Boston, Seaport Boulevard, Boston, for Tishman Construction Parcel B Fan Pier, Boston, also for Karas & Karas Glass and Berklee School of Music, Boston, for John F. So long as architects seek to design buildings that reach new heights in style, creativity, and engineering, there will always be a demand for a product that has seemingly limitless design possibilities. The value of suspended scaffolds is in part due to its versatility and the access the equipment provides workers. For this project, multiple trades will utilize the suspended scaffolds over the course of one year. Certainly, the most complicated part of the installation is the rigging, but with proper planning and engineering, a creative solution can be found. To account for obstructions on the roof such as generators, AC units, and other mechanical equipment, Marr Scaffolding installed systems scaffold towers to support an elevated rigging system for five of the 13 configurations. Instead, 13 suspended scaffolds were installed on the apartment roof in a variety of standard and unique configurations. Huntington Avenue, the use of boom lifts or mast climbing platforms were not an option for performing the exterior work. Due to the location of this 17-story high-rise bordered by the Jamaicaway and S. Their strict attention to detailed drawings and compliance with OSHA safety standards guarantee sound applications and the successful meeting of customers’ needs.Ĭurrently, Marr is supplying multiple suspended scaffolds on a single project for Sunrise Erectors, Inc. With an increase in the number of set-ups requiring unique/nonstandard configurations, close to 90% of Marr projects are professionally installed and dismantled by Marr crews. As a matter of course, Marr provides familiarization to customers as a way to assist users in becoming acquainted with the equipment. Often utilized by multiple trades (glass, insulation, waterproofing contractors, and masons, etc.), Marr’s team dismantles the equipment when the trades have completed their work with no permanent changes to the building. Marr’s designs are engineered, and highly trained and experienced crews configure the set-up to meet a building’s specific requirements. overhang), Marr works closely with equipment manufacturers to design a configuration that suits the specific needs of the project. When the space and shape of roofs and outer walls call for the modification of a more standard set-up (for instance, the project requires an 11-ft. Comprised of three basic components - counter-balanced rigging beams, an electric or air traction hoist, and modular platforms - a suspended scaffold is temporary and can be installed and dismantled for contractors to work on the façades of buildings of all shapes and sizes. At any given time, approximately 15% of installation projects in the company rotation require suspended scaffolding. Marr Scaffolding Company has seen an exponential increase in demand for suspended scaffolding. Suspended scaffolding equipment is a good example of this. Simultaneously, equipment manufacturers have taken advantage of advances in technology and engineering to improve their products to meet new challenges. Contractors have had to get creative around architectural decisions that don’t necessarily consider the construction process, including the logistics of using powered equipment such as cranes, aerial lifts, and mobile platforms that require controlled space to operate safely and efficiently.
In Boston, the welcome development of new neighborhoods requires not only making use of the available vertical space, but also the horizontal or ground-level space - which translates into building in tighter spaces within a stricter footprint. With new construction’s progressively innovative designs on the rise in Boston and other urban areas, the challenge for builders and equipment manufacturers to accommodate such design innovations is on the rise as well. A variety of types of suspended scaffold are widely applied in the field, and they are presently in great demand by customers of Marr Scaffolding Company due to their adaptability for customization on unique building designs with complex site logistics. Two-point adjustable suspension scaffolds, also known as suspended scaffolds, are no secret to contractors who rely on their high-efficiency performance for exterior wall construction and maintenance of high-rise buildings. Scaffold towers support an elevated rigging system for suspended scaffolds above mechanical equipment on the roof at Serenity Apartments.
