  • Scaffolding works at Ebenezer School and Home for the Visually Impaired
    Inclined scaffolds or catch fans are found in most renovation projects. This is an additional protective layer built on top of a vertical scaffold, to prevent small debris from falling and hitting the passers-by. This inclined scaffold at the middle of the high-rise structure was called inclined shelter or safety scaffold. According to the law, for every 18 metres in height, an inclined scaffold has to be built, which should be 2 to 2.5 metres away from the building's exterior wall.
