LAYHER IMPROVES SAFETY AND PRODUCTIVITY IN CHEMICAL PLANTS

Layher Allround® Scaffolding is the preferred choice of scaffolding in Chemical plants, standing out with its ability to be assembled quickly and adapt to any building condition, combined with its innovative, out-of-the-box solutions that are all metal-based and reduce the need for custom build and consumables. The following are a few examples of how we do it.

THE FUTURE OF SCAFFOLDING IN THE CHEMICAL PLANT INDUSTRY IS DIGITAL — AND ITS NAME IS SIM

SIM or Scaffolding Information Modeling is a scaffolding design process based on 3D models. At Layher, we use it to meet the precise requirements of industrial scaffolding, including those used in chemical plants. SIM helps us to plan, assemble, and strategically manage temporary scaffolding structures in the most efficient ways possible.

SIM allows you to:

Plan your scaffolding in detail before it is being built
Strategize and schedule your project with certainty and confidence
Increase the safety and profitability of your project
Provide transparency and cost control for its lifespan
Budget, schedule, simulate the construction processes and conduct feasibility studies
Assist in implementation, including assembly, approval, use, modification, and dismantling of any scaffolding project within a chemical plant
Verify structural loads

SIMPLE, VERSATILE, EASY-TO-HANDLE, SAFER, ADAPTABLE, AND TRANSPORTABLE

These are just some of the adjectives our loyal clients in the Chemical Plant Industry have used to describe our scaffolding. They depict our world-class products and also indicate why our clients keep coming back. They continue to deploy scaffolding from Layher as we continue to improve an already world-class product.

Let’s Talk About Your Project

LAYHER ALLROUND® SCAFFOLDING

Essential for Chemical Plant Scaffolding

Perhaps the focus of your project is on pipe and valve access, heat exchangers, chemical scrubbers, water towers, furnaces, or general plant maintenance. Irrespective of what it is, Layher will not disappoint.

Layher’s Allround Scaffolding provides:

Unbeatable flexibility, accessibility, and adaptability
Bolt free assembly is designed for rapid deployment and uninterrupted labor productivity
Improved safety, labor productivity, reduced risk of fire, and less need for consumables
Highest level of quality in the industry
All these solutions are geared towards a safer scaffold project that also meets an ever more critical schedule to reduce shutdown times.

Our Allround system also has a wide variety of accessories which provide many solutions straight out of the box quite literally. With over 4000 different parts in stock and 15,000 on drawing, Layher has the right solution for almost any chemical plant dilemma.

LAYHER TRAINING & ON-SITE SUPPORT

On-site, In-house, and Remote Training Options

We offer all of our chemical plant industry clients scaffold training on-site. The training can be tailored to their specific needs. Our industry and product-specific training courses can be provided either on-site, in-house, or remotely via our qualified trainers. The training will address the dual objectives of safety and continuous improvement within the demanding chemical plant industry. Our practice is structured to match all levels of expertise. The courses cover a variety of topics from correct scaffolding installation to highlighting the benefits that can arise from the use of authentic Layher equipment.

We offer a variety of classes, both theoretical and hands-on in approach. The training will be tailored to the specific needs of the project. Each course has a duration of one to several days. For personalized attention, the classes are small, with no more than nine trainees per class.

Layher On-Site support provides an extra resource for your most critical projects. Our experts will be there to answer your questions and ensure that your chemical plant project is progressing as planned. Layher engineers often work together with field supervisors to ensure effective logistics planning, including transportation and loading. They provide straight-forward communication between trades and a reduction in change orders.

YOUR SUCCESS IS OUR PRIORITY

Increased Profits, Improved Safety, Developed Efficiency

LAYHER-THE WORLD-LEADER IN SCAFFOLDING

You could say we’ve been doing the same old thing for the last 75 years: revolutionizing the scaffolding industry with our simple yet revolutionary design. You might wonder why we keep doing it? The answer is simple. It’s for the customer. It’s always been for the customer. We want our customers to succeed. Our products are the result of superior engineering, a quality product, and the combined experience of our team.

WORK PLATFORMS

SAFER AND FLAT WORK PLATFORMS – OPTIMISED FOR THE JOB TO BE DONE

Since no plant is like another, scaffolding systems have to be flexible and adaptable. With Layher scaffolding, that’s no problem: Thanks to the option of laying the decks over the rosettes, a gap-free solution can be accomplished without additional expense or effort. For special cases specific to the site, we offer a comprehensive portfolio of expansion parts for achieving completely closed work surfaces within the system.

Closing the gaps in round equipment is often a challenge. Covering with steel or wood planks can be classified as a risk of tripping. In addition, these must be protected against unintentional lifting and slipping, which can cause problems depending on the type of soil used.

SUSPENDED SCAFFOLDING

SUSPENDED SCAFFOLDING SOLUTIONS

When the work areas are very high up, standard scaffolding structures can often be uneconomical due to high material and labour costs. With Allround Scaffolding, suspended solutions can be achieved without any problem in such cases. Pull-resistant securing of the standards with hinged pins or by bolting them together allows forces to be optimally transmitted.

CRANE MOVABILITY

The high fitting precision in the Layher system enables scaffolding structures to be preassembled on the ground, complete or in individual segments. Thanks to pull-resistant connection of all individual parts, they can be moved quickly and easily into position using a crane. This is a major advantage when it comes to efficiency and profitability. At the same time, safety during assembly increases many times over. Because the best fall protection is when there is no risk of falls in the first place.

FIRE SAFETY

FIRE SAFETY, WOOD-FREE SOLUTIONS

Reduction of the fire risk is a requirement frequently expressed for scaffolding in refineries, chemical factories, and other fire-sensitive industrial plants. Components made of wood can be ruled out for obvious reasons. Layher has the optimum alternatives: system decks and matching toe boards made of steel or aluminum. Gap solutions made of steel, and scaffolding coverings made of low-inflammability tarpaulins or the Protect System, round off the range.
