Got a commercial job,

On 2nd floor of a building there is a large open space, previously used for a factory production line. There is access by means of single door and straight onto a stairwell to ground level.

Anyway powered access is a no go due to stairs, only access for powered equipment would be through a a set of large access doors and use of a craine .

Is scaffolding possible for a height of 10meters? Don't fancy shuffling it about the room.

My mission is to live as long as possible......so far so good!

Either speak to the client about arranging scaffolding and quote on the bass that it will be in place, or speak to a friendly local scaffolder to obtain a quote, add a bit, and add it to your own quote.

Some scaffold towers seem to go up to 14m (12m) high - e.g. http://www.scaffold-tower.co.u...ouble_width_3.2m_10x4/

Even for hire ones hit 10m http://www.hss.com/g/80400/All...ower-Addit.-1.0m.html

(I've no connection with either firm, just a google results having been looking for a tower myself)

Try and get an aluminium one as they are lighter !

Empty barrels make the most noise.

Ive recently done some unistrut on the underside of a warehouse roof at 10m on a tower scaffold. Not too bad to put up as long as there is at least 2 of you. Not too woobly as long as you get lots of tension on the outriggers.
If you dont like heights though dont bother as 10m is the same as a 4th floor on a tower block or similar and a long way down.

It will cost maybe 8 times more to get a fixed scaffold by a scaffolding firm.

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine....

I personally wouldn't entertain usin a mobile tower above about 5 meters. I don't like building them at the best of times, but certainly wouldn't fancy swinging a platform into place at that height, or indeed climbing up and down it with tools and equipment.

I personally, if powered access is out the question, would like a solid scaffolding to work on. If the price is to high, my competitor is welcome to the job!

Ironically, I would rather harness up and swing out working off suspended ropes than on a mobile tower! Just what you are happy with I guess!
