McNetiq Scaffold Anchor

Safe anchoring with McNetiq Scaffold Anchor

With McNetiq anchors with Controlock® technology, that is recognized by the norm EN 795; a scaffold can indeed be securely anchored: lean and mean. Applying the magnetic anchors only where required on a minimal footprint while omitting many scaffold components like buttresses.

The result: savings of >40% on lead time and >70% on materials.

Its first use was in 2013 when contractor Bilfinger applied McNetiq's Controlock® technology to build four scaffolds against ethylene tanks at Dow Chemical.

How to use a magnetic scaffold anchor point

Based on the pre-defined design, the scaffold is built on site.
While the scaffold components are being installed, a certified Controlock® operator can apply the magnetic anchors. The operator can position the magnetic anchor and measure the actual pull and shear force of it at that location. If the operator determines that the readings are meeting the minimum required magnetic forces, that are specified in the design, then he can secure and clear the magnetic anchor to connect the scaffold.

This process should be repeated for every magnetic anchor.

Suspended scaffolds on steel structures or hulls

It is possible to anchor scaffolds that are not built from the ground up. Examples of use can be found in the maritime industry (building, repairs, maintenance, and wrecking of ships) and in overhanging steel constructions (bridges, cranes, and superstructures)

The McNetiq Scaffold Anchor can be a solution to create a safe work platform without any welding work or any mechanical connections.
