Assembly Instructions ALEX
Preface
The following rigging instructions are meant as a guide for ALL
scaffolders and users of Delta ALEX.
When using a new scaffold system, it is important to learn how the
scaffold should be erected and which loads the scaffold is designed for.
The rigging instructions explain all the important aspects in this context.
Delta ALEX is approved until Class 5 loads (450 kg/m2) according to NS
EN 12810 and NS EN 12811. Special calculations must be performed for
greater loads. These calculations can be performed by the supplier.
Many components are available for a variety of applications. We have
presented options within the framework that prevails for Class 5 loads.
We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the tables presented.
These are meant as a useful tool for proper erection of the scaffold. We
ask you to pay special attention to the section on maintenance.
We sincerely hope that everyone will follow these instructions to
ensure proper erection of the scaffold thus helping prevent accidents
and increase job safety.
GOOD LUCK!

Technical terms /
Terminology
As you proceed through this manual, you may encounter some unfamiliar
words and expressions. These are based on the terminology suggested in
EN 12811-1. The picture below shows an erected scaffold with a width of
1.2 m and a bay length of 3.0 m. We have inserted some of the terms and
expressions which will be repeated throughout the manual.

Material Description /
Properties
The scaffold is constructed of aluminum, with the exception of certain
components that are more adequate in steel. The aluminum alloy is of the AlMg-Si-Mn type, which is sea-water resistant.
The alloy can be delivered with certificates from DET NORSKE VERITAS,
LLOYDS Register of Shipping or GERMANISHER Lloyd. The alloy elements
provide the following material properties:
Mg (magnesium)

Increases strength

Increases hardness

Good corrosion resistance

Improved weld ability
AL + Si (silicon)

Yields temper able alloys in combination with magnesium

Good corrosion resistance
Mn (manganese)

Excellent yielding properties

Increases breaking strength

Good corrosion resistance

Allows for compliance with very small tolerances
As will be apparent from the above, this is an excellent alloy, especially for
offshore applications. We have evaluated various types of aluminum alloys,
and have selected the alloy recommended by aluminum experts.

Classification according to NS-EN 12811
Class 1 (0.75 kN/m²)
The scaffold has Class 2 components in floors, but allows for reduction of the total load by load
transfer to related components (load on total area becomes Class 1). This class is only designed
for inspections and tasks requiring light tools and no storage on the scaffold.
Classes 2 and 3 (1.5 and 2.0 kN/m²)
Scaffolds certified according to these classes are designated to provide access in
connection with inspection work and work without storage of materials other than that which is
consumed (paint/cleaning materials, etc.).
Classes 4 and 5 (3.0 and 4.5 kN/m²)
Scaffolds certified according to these classes are designated for a heavier type of work where
some storage of material must be expected (masonry/concrete elements, piping, etc.)
Class 6 (6.0 kN/m²)
Scaffolds in this class are designated for special tasks where heavy loads on the scaffold must
be expected.
When using Delta ALEX, special calculations must be performed prior to erection. These can be
performed by the supplier.

The table shows the permissible building height for Class 5 Delta ALEX tubular
scaffolds erected with various bay lengths and floor distances. This table applies to
scaffolds with payload on 1 floor and no load transfer to the other floors.
For 1,6m bay widths the planks must be 1,6m for class 5 (Ref. table on page 17).
22
Assembly Instructions ALEX
General conditions
The floors can be erected at vertical intervals of 0.5 meters, but 2.0 m is the norm. (See table for
permissible loads on standards). The greatest permissible bay length is 3.0 m for Class 5 tubular
scaffolds. (Applies to both widths and lengths.) Platforms higher than 2.0 m above ground shall be
equipped with toe boards, knee rails and hand rails. For transom beams (TB) with lengths of 1,6m or
longer are planking principle as shown under used on floors that can`t bear load from two bays
according to table on side 17 (applies for Class 4 or higher).
The picture shows the planking principle for 1,6m and longer transom beams for load Class 4
or higher.
See also load tables on page 16-21.
23
Assembly Instructions ALEX
Inspection and maintenance
The scaffold shall be inspected visually prior to use in order to check for cracks
in welded joints and galvanic corrosion. Damaged material must be isolated
and possibly rejected. It must never be done any modifications of the
components (welding/bending/straightening etc) without obtaining new
certification of the components. This is particularly important for load-bearing
components. The vertical standards must never be cut in half. Loose parts
(locks, bolts etc.) must be greased regularly. Moreover defect components can
be shipped to the supplier for repair/maintenance. Erected scaffold shall
regularly be controlled by qualified personnel to assure that any defects are
detected at an early stage. Inspections must also include checking foundations
to prevent scaffolds from sinking into the ground and making sure that base
boards are securely fastened. Is must be expected that scaffolds fabricated in
steel and aluminium will be subject to galvanic corrosion under special
atmospheric conditions. In time, this type of attack could entail structural
deterioration of the component unless corrective measures are implemented.
However, meticulous galvanisation of steel components, along with regular
inspection and maintenance can help detect such defects. Galvanic corrosion
can be spotted by the naked eye as ingrained white powder at the surface of
the aluminium. Most important is couplers being of recent date, such that the
layer of zinc is entire and as thick as possible. Aluminium in contact with bare
steel where moisture has access and seldom dries out will lead to corrosion.
To be on the safe side one should have regular control for scaffolds that stand
assembled for longer time. For scaffolds that are assembled for 2-3 months or
longer, one can loosen a few couplers to check the surface of the aluminium
pipe. If it turns out that corrosion has already started, (one can then see the
white coat, and perhaps some white oxide powder) one can try moving the
coupler a little to the side and tighten it again. Remember safety actions if one
need to move couplers. If the corrosion is significant, one need to make sure
the zinc coating is complete and reasonable thick and perhaps to assemble a
newer coupler. Flushing of disassembled components by fresh water should
also be done after long time off-shore use (3 months or more).
Couplers shall be cleaned and greased when needed. Couplers where the zinc
coating is worn down in the contact surface towards the piping, is smeared
with cold zinc, or one can deliver the couplers in for hot galvanization or flame
spraying with zinc. It is then assumed that all joint bolts are in good condition.
Couplers that are worn in the joints shall be rejected. Bolt and nut are easy to
replace. Bare steel surface must not come in contact with aluminium.

Bracing
The diagonal bracings, DS, are equipped with couplers that are assembled to the standards.
Alternatively scaffolding tube SR 49 with coupler KS 49x49 can be assembled in a similar way.
The diagonal bracings are assembled in 2.0 m vertically intervals in opposite direction for each
height.
The scaffold shall be braced by diagonal bracings till the top for every 4th bay, and always in the
end bay length. Additionally must the scaffold be braced also between the outer and inner
standards in end bays.
A horizontal bracing shall be used for every 24 m vertically in every 8th bay for ledger beam LB 3.0.
For these bracing there shall be wall fasteners taking horizontal forces.
26
Assembly Instructions ALEX
Fastening
Single
wall clamp
Double
wall clamp
The scaffold must be fastened to the wall (See single wall clamp) with wall clamps on each inner standard
every 4 vertical meters. To absorb horizontal forces, wall fastening devices every 6 vertical meters for at least
every eight inner standards must consist of two wall clamps fitted at right angles to each other (See double
wall clamp) or similar devices. In addition, the end inner standards must be fastened at the top level.
When using scaffold canvas, vertical wall fastening must be doubled. Presupposes out pulling tests and that
fastenings withstands calculated wind loads.
Brackets
When brackets are used either inside or outside must, in addition to the text above, the inner standards be
fastened to the wall at both the bracket level and the underlying floor level.
Further vertical erection is not permitted on a bracket without special calculations.
27
Assembly Instructions ALEX
Anti-falling
Safe fastening points for the anti-falling device are:
1. The hook is fasted around the standard tube until 1 meter above the joint.
A joint is already assembled ledgers and transoms forming a rigid frame.
It is presupposed that wall fastening is assembled according to our assembling
instructions (page 26).
Do not put the line (the rope itself) around the standard tube on top of the
pocket, as the edges of the pockets may be sharp and course a break in the
line.
Do not fasten the hook in one of the hook of the pocket.
2. The hook can be fastened in the lower flange of the ledger beam at the centre
of the span when the ledgers and transoms are assembled forming a rigid
frame. The same presumptions as above are assumed.
28
Assembly Instructions ALEX
Scaffold system
It is an advantage to lay out enough material for the base prior to erection. In case of uneven or
soft ground, foundation boards should be used under the base jack.
Start at the highest ground level by placing
the standard on top of the adjustable base
jack. The distance from the wall must
never exceed 30 cm without a bracket or
railing installed on the inside for floors
above 2m over ground.
29
Assembly Instructions ALEX
Place the outer standard and connect

The beams must ALWAYS be
locked in place by aid of the
securing handle so that there
is no possibility of the beam
jumping out of the pocket on
the standard.
Raise standards 3 and 4 and connect
beams so you obtain a rectangle.
Adjust the bay length, both the short and the long end, using a
carpenter's level. This must be performed carefully in order to
simplify further erection.
