Abstract

The temporary access scaffold for refurbishing Westminster Hall roof lantern at the Palace of Westminster in London, UK required a particularly sensitive approach. The only means of support other than scaffold towers 38 m apart at ground level were two awkward-shaped parapet walls. Removing the capping stones of these walls would be a health and safety risk and unsympathetic to the historic listed building. Standing over 45 m high with a main bridged span of 25 m, the scaffold was stabilised without the need for a single intrusive fixing. It was supported directly off existing parapet walls in such a way that no trace of the scaffold was left after 3 years in use.

软触感临时作品:威斯敏斯特大厅屋顶灯笼独立通道，英国

在英国伦敦的威斯敏斯特宫，为了翻新威斯敏斯特大厅的屋顶灯笼，临时通道脚手架需要一个特别敏感的方法。除了地面上相距38米的脚手架外，唯一的支撑手段是两个形状笨拙的女儿墙。拆除这些墙壁上的封顶石将会危及健康和安全，而且对这座历史建筑没有同情心。脚手架高45米，主桥跨度25米，不需要进行一次侵入式固定就能稳定下来。它直接由现有的护墙支撑，使用3年后没有留下脚手架的痕迹。
