A vertical member of a modular scaffolding system includes a securing rosette provided in an upper section having a reduced diameter to provide a pre-determined modular connection. The vertical member includes an elongate intermediate section forming the majority of the vertical member of a first diameter greater than the reduced diameter. The intermediate section at a lower edge includes an integral spigot of the reduced diameter. A reinforcing sleeve is fixedly secured to the upper section above the rosette and forms a spigot receiving socket. The vertical member has higher capacity due to the larger diameter intermediate section while maintaining modularity of the scaffolding system.

Disclosed are a scaffold rosette (60), a scaffold system and a method thereof. The scaffold rosette (60) includes a plurality of holes (65) of similar size and shape that extend axially through the scaffold rosette (60). Each of the plurality of holes (65) includes a first wedge alignment notch (70) and a second wedge alignment notch (70) spaced apart circumferentially from the first wedge alignment notch (70). The scaffold system comprises the scaffold rosette (60). The method comprises the steps of providing the scaffold rosette (60), locating a first ledger in a first hole (65) of the scaffold rosette (60) and locating a second ledger in a second hole (65) of the scaffold rosette (60).

The present invention discloses a shoring apparatus, a system incorporating the apparatus, and a related method utilizing the apparatus in the system for an improvement in conducting concrete edge repairs in multi-story buildings. The shoring apparatus includes a structural member and attachment features that are configured to make the shoring apparatus attachable to the underside of a concrete structure that is to undergo edge repairs. The shoring apparatus is advantageous over shore poles in that they securely support the concrete form without relying on a lower structure to counter the load of the structural repair.

An improved intermediate scaffold joint comprising a frame, a first mounting member, a second mounting member, and a vertical stub. The frame has an interior side, an exterior side, and a top side. A lock member is slidable in the interior of the frame. The frame has a rear plate portion that has two openings to accommodate the engagement portions of a horizontal scaffold join, but lacks ½ annular cups.

Disclosed herein is a clamp for interconnecting two components of a support apparatus such as components of a shoring apparatus for concrete forming systems. A clamp member having a moveable jaw is received for pivotal movement in a housing that is secured to one of the components. A plurality of flutes disposed at an angle to the pivot axis of the clamp member are received in coacting recesses in the housing and a proximal cap maintains the desired position of the clamp member within the housing. Axial movement of the clamp member will pivot the swing arm and a coacting, moveable jaw toward a fixed jaw formed in the housing to releasably secure the clamp to the other component.

A scaffolding element having a scaffolding pole, at least one fastening element being disposed or formed on the scaffolding pole. The fastening element preferably has a fastening element body. The fastening element body can be L-shaped. Preferably, the free end of the fastening element body points straight upwards when the scaffolding element is in the mounted state. A projection is disposed or formed below the free end on the fastening element body, in particular in a section parallel to the longitudinal axis of the scaffolding pole. The projection can be part of a U-shaped bead.

The invention relates to a connecting rosette (10) for a scaffolding post (40), comprising a plurality of through recesses (16, 18) for the passage of coupling parts of scaffolding components (42) to be detachably connected to the connecting rosette (10), which are arranged at a distance from one another in the circumferential direction of the connecting rosette (10). The connection rosette has an upper and a lower side surface (12a, 12b), which are designed plane-parallel and define a nominal thickness D.sub.N of the connection rosette. The connection rosette is provided with several hollow embossments (24) with projections (26) formed on only one of the two side faces (12a, 12b) and corresponding recesses (28) formed on the respective other side face (12a, 12b). The hollow embossments (24) are each arranged at a distance from the through recesses (16, 18) on a radial segment (30) of the connecting rosette (10), which extends in the radial direction from the inner edge (32) to the outer edge (22) of the connecting rosette (10) and by which one of the through recesses (16, 18) is bounded on each side. The invention further relates to a framework assembly (100).

A modular decking system comprising a decking panel, a plurality of vertical supports, at least two first horizontal supports, at least two second horizontal supports arranged perpendicular to the first horizontal supports, one or more third horizontal supports arranged between the first horizontal supports and parallel to the second horizontal supports, and a plurality of connectors for detachably coupling the first and second horizontal supports, is disclosed. The connectors include an elongate tube adapted for insertion into the vertical supports and a connection hub. The connection hub and the ends of the first and second horizontal supports include reciprocating formations to enable the respective ends of the first and second horizontal supports to slidingly engage with the connection hub.

A walkway for use and integration with a cooling system and methods for the assembly thereof. A walkway may include a chassis and a walkway assembly coupled to the chassis, the chassis being configured to be coupled to a cooling system. The chassis may include a frame portion that is configured to be integrated with the cooling system such that the frame portion defines at least a portion of a frame of the cooling system when the walkway is in use; a mounting rail portion coupled to the frame portion; and a plurality of walkway support sleeves coupled between the frame portion and the mounting rail portion. The walkway may also include a plurality of walkway support bars, each configured to be received within a corresponding one of the plurality of walkway support sleeves and secured against the mounting rail portion.
