2D Scaffold Design Drawings & Calculations

We believe our scaffolding drawings are some of the best in the industry. Combining 2D working drawings with 3D illustrations leaves the scaffolder in no doubt as to what they should build on site. 2D Scaffold Design Drawings are typically created in Orthographic Projection. We are currently working in Autodesk AutoCAD LT - Simplified 2D drafting and documentation.

What kind of information do you need to produce 2D working drawings?

We would need as much information you could give us, BS 5975 requires that all temporary works designs should include a design brief. If you cannot provide one, we would issue one instead, making sure all the necessary information is obtained to complete the design.

What is your turnaround time for 2D Scaffolding working drawings?

It depends on how complicated, complex or ample the scaffolding structure is but we will try our best, working extra hours to deliver on time.

How much does it cost for 2D working drawings and what kind of format are you providing to your clients?

Each project has its quote. Try our free quotes at info@ekscaffolddesign.com. Many times we work with your budget. We can provide drawings in pdf format in a range of sizes from A0 to A4.

Are you combining 3D Illustrations with 2D working drawings?

Every so often we include a 3D sketch (free of charge) inside the 2D working drawing. Note that 3D sketch is not mandatory, 2D working drawings should be clear, precise and accurately ready for construction. Check our 3D Scaffold Design and BIM services if you need a scaffold for tendering.

Calculations

Calculations are crucial for all scaffolds. We need to prove the scaffold design drawing works, only then the scaffold is safe to use. Without calculations, a design is incomplete and cannot be used.

Design calculations

Safety is our number one priority! We can assure you that all our designs are structurally sound and compliant with all relevant codes of practice. That is why all our 2D design working drawings are checked by qualified engineers, holding PI insurance. BS 5975 states that Category II temporary works checking should be carried out by an individual not involved in the design and not consulted by the designer.

Scaffolding structures

We are happy to provide scaffold design and calculations for the following scaffolding structures, including:

Temporary roof scaffolds

Cantilever scaffolds

Suspended scaffolds

Birdcage, Crash Deck & Support scaffolds

Hoist run-off scaffolds

Pavement gantry scaffolds

Loading bays & Lifting beams scaffolds

Buttressed free-standing scaffolds

Ramps & Staircases

Truss out scaffolds

Demolition scaffolds

FREE SITE VISITS, MEETINGS & SURVEYS

Not all scaffolds are straightforward. Sometimes it requires a collaborative environment to ensure all essential information is available and that the problem is fully understood...

Free site visits

All our site visits are free of charge, you don't need to pay us for the time spent on the site, as long as the travel ticket doesn't exceed £10.00 pounds.

Meetings

All our meetings are free of charge, you don't need to pay us for the time spent at the meeting, as long as the travel ticket doesn't exceed £10.00 pounds.

Surveys

Note that all our surveys are free of charge but if the structure is very large and complicated you will need to contact a specialized survey team, we can only survey what our meter laser let us.
