Why is scaffolding essential in renovation?
Old buildings, deteriorated facades or roofs to renovate present significant risks. Working without a stable platform increases the dangers for workers and slows down project progress. Scaffolding ensures:
Secure access to elevated areas
A better organization of work
The protection of stakeholders and the public
Lasting stability throughout the duration of work
In sum, it guarantees a structured intervention that complies with safety standards.
Security: top priority
Each construction site presents its own constraints. But a common point remains: the need to work safely. Scaffolding, if properly installed, significantly reduces the risk of falls or injury. It also allows for the installation of guardrails, nets, and non-slip platforms.
At Alchary, we offer scaffolding that complies with the latest European standards. Whether fixed, rolling or multidirectional, our equipment ensures a secure working environment, even in the most complex configurations.
Saving time and productivity
Well-designed scaffolding improves productivity. It allows artisans to move freely, have their tools at hand and work at a constant height. Result: less back and forth, less fatigue and better performance.
Good scaffolding also optimizes site management. It allows to plan the different stages in a fluid way, without interruption or constant adaptation to the working conditions.
Scaffolding tailored to each project
All renovation projects are different. Some require front access, others work at height in areas difficult to access. Hence the importance of choosing a scaffolding. Depending on the configuration of the premises, the type of work (renovation, painting, masonry, insulation) and the expected duration, the solution must be customized.
Building professionals must ask themselves the right questions:
What weight should the scaffolding support?
What is the area to cover?
Are there any obstacles to be overcome?
Is the construction site accessible to a truck for delivery?
At Alchary, we support our clients in this strategic choice. Thanks to our design office, we design customized solutions, available for sale as well as for rent.
Energy retrofitting: a field where scaffolding is key
With the rise of thermal renovations and projects funded by public schemes, insulation works for facades and roofs are increasing. To meet energy performance targets, it is often necessary to access the entire external envelope of the building.
Scaffolding then becomes indispensable for laying insulation, installing cladding, or replacing joinery. Without it, these works are almost impossible to perform efficiently.
Un rôle dans la protection du bâtiment
Au-delà de sa fonction d’accès, l’échafaudage joue aussi un rôle protecteur. Lors de la rénovation d’une façade, par exemple, il peut être équipé de bâches pour protéger le bâtiment des intempéries, de la poussière ou des projections de peinture.
Dans certains cas, les échafaudages sont également utilisés pour stabiliser temporairement une structure fragile, le temps que les renforts ou consolidations soient effectués.
Installation and disassembly: two sensitive steps
Poorly mounted scaffolding can be dangerous. It is therefore essential to call upon professionals for assembly, but also for dismantling. Each step must follow a strict protocol, defined by the standards in force.
It is not enough to have good material. Still need to disassemble a scaffolding safely. This includes checking anchors, gradual removal of bearing elements and managing the risks of falling objects.
Sale or rental: which option to favor?
The decision between buying and renting depends on several factors. For occasional or short-term projects, the scaffolding rental is often the most cost-effective solution. It allows to have quality equipment, without capital immobilization.
On the other hand, for companies frequently performing work at heights, purchasing quickly becomes a strategic investment. It allows for greater flexibility, long-term cost control, and immediate material availability.
