VI. Bamboo Scaffolding

Advantages over metal

https://engineering.purdue.edu/MSE/AboutUs/GotMaterials/Buildings/schlotman.html

Bamboo scaffolding is being used in China and Hong Kong instead of steel for several reasons. Bamboo actually has a greater tensile strength than steel. It is also much cheaper to use, and completely environmentally friendly.

Competent persons are required to supervise the erection, dismantling and alteration of all scaffolds and all workers involved in scaffolding activities must be appropriately trained and certified.

Access: Scaffolding is a great way of giving workers access to areas they would normally have difficulty first getting to and then working on. Another major advantage scaffolding has is that it provides access to otherwise hard to reach areas, providing workers with the necessary height needed to get the job done.
