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.

The present invention provides a scaffold assembly, in particular a combination of a conventional tubular scaffold tube or pole and a rosette type coupling which enables the connection of additional scaffold components to the scaffold assembly, the coupling and tubular element being fixed relative to one another by means of at least one abutment which is cold formed in the tubular element such as to fix the coupling in position relative thereto.

A scaffold clamp cooperates with a scaffold ledger to accommodate aligned placement of the scaffold clamp to the ledger at modular positions in the length of the ledger. The scaffold clamp includes an inwardly directed alignment lug sized for receipt in one or more clamp locating holes provided in the length of the ledger at modular positions. This arrangement provides accurate securement of the clamp to the ledger at predetermined modular positions and reduces problems that can occur with respect to erection of the scaffold 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 safety of scaffolding is enhanced by providing a scaffolding toe board system comprising a plurality of toe boards constructed of a panel and a pair of brackets used to couple the ends of the panel to adjacent support posts of the scaffolding. The brackets are all identical, quick and easy to deploy, and designed so that the brackets of two toe boards coupled to the same support post will not interfere with each other.

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.
