Scaffolding Calculations
Scaffolding calculations are a vital part of ensuring structural safety, stability, and regulatory compliance on any project involving temporary works.
These calculations determine the load-bearing capabilities, wind resistance, and overall integrity of the scaffold, giving engineers and contractors confidence in their installations. Whether for a basic access tower or a complex multi-lift structure, accurate calculations reduce the risk of failure and protect everyone on site.
At Acute Scaffolding Designs, we provide fully certified scaffold calculations tailored to each project.
Our experienced team uses industry-recognised software to perform detailed structural analysis, taking into account live loads, environmental factors, fixings, and more. Every set of calculations is delivered with supporting documentation and professional engineering certification, ensuring compliance with British standards and Euro codes.
Our calculations are not only about safety — they support project efficiency and reduce delays.
By accurately defining load capacities and structural behaviour, we help avoid over-engineering or under-specifying scaffold systems. This means better use of materials, faster installations, and full transparency for site managers, insurers, and third-party inspectors. Whether you’re planning a new scaffold or need a retrospective calculation, we deliver trusted results with precision.
