Research and Development of Tour Technology: Innovations and Prospects in the Construction Industry

At any construction site: from the construction of a private house to the construction of skyscrapers, industrial complexes, shopping centers, special equipment is used to perform work at a height of 1.5 meters. And if previously it was step-ladders or suspended systems (which swayed when moving on them, and therefore were unsafe), today there are more durable and stable structures.

A platform is a metal tower that allows you to work at heights up to 20 m. It is designed to ensure the safety and comfort of workers when painting, applying plaster or whitewash on the walls, ceiling, roof, etc.

Tower technology

Tour towers are now available in a wide range. They can be stationary or mobile, differ in height, material, working surface area, etc.

In their design they resemble a scaffolding, but in a more compact format. It is a frame connection that provides safety at the site. In this case, unlike scaffolding, modern tour towers have jacks for greater ease of operation.

It is important to keep in mind that whatever manufacturing technology was used to create the structure, the tower is categorically not suitable for working at heights of 20 m and more. In this case, you need to think about another approach, such as rishtovka. In addition, despite the strength of the materials, the towers usually cannot cope with a load of 300 kg or more. Whereas the scaffolding is usually more robust.

That is, the towers are more relevant on small and medium-sized sites. They have gained widespread use and are used for different types of tasks:

  • balcony installation;
  • cladding the facade of the house;
  • installation of video surveillance systems;
  • arrangement of air conditioning, ventilation, lighting;
  • repair of the ceiling and roof;
  • repair of gutters;
  • plastering, whitewashing and painting walls and ceilings;
  • cladding balconies;
  • installation of cornices.

How the tower tower is used in construction: today and in the future

Despite the constant improvement and automation of work on construction sites, it is still impossible to do without human labor and manual tasks. Therefore, at any site, regardless of what type of construction is being erected, there will be a need for structures that allow you to perform tasks at height. And the tower-towers are a worthy modern alternative to ladders and stepladders, wooden supporting constructions, which do not correspond to safety regulations and are not able to withstand high loads.

The popularity and versatility of the tower-turrets is due to a number of design advantages:

  • high mobility;
  • quality of assembly and use of high-strength metals;
  • protective anti-corrosion coating to prevent rust and other mechanical damage;
  • low cost;
  • large selection of towers in different sizes and with different technical characteristics.

It is possible that the tower towers will undergo some external modifications. But already in the form in which they are produced today, such structures reduce to zero the risk of falling from height and make the work at the site comfortable and safe.
