An apparatus and method for raising a self-jacking scaffold system including extending a jacking screw and jacking screw bracket axially upward, connecting a jacking screw bracket to an overhead tank bracket for a plurality of scaffold sections coupled to a jacking assembly, detaching a plurality of scaffold mounting brackets from a plurality of tank mounting brackets, raising the continuously coupled plurality of scaffold sections, and reattaching the plurality of scaffold mounting brackets to a plurality of tank mounting brackets. Noting the plurality of scaffold sections is continuously coupled proximate a circumference of a shell tank, the continuously coupled scaffold sections and tank mounting brackets provide stiffness to the tank shell to enable it to resist external loads and can be quickly moved and restored as required during tank construction.

A scaffolding support for forming a scaffold arrangement is described. The scaffolding support includes a first beam and a second beam. The second beam is angled with respect to the first beam. The scaffolding support further includes a frame holder for coupling with a frame member and a plank holder for coupling with a scaffolding plank. A corresponding scaffold arrangement is also provided.
