To perform renovations for the steeple of the St. Martinus parish in Kerpen, Germany, a scaffold was required. This scaffolding was part of the entire construction project with an order volume of approximately €850,000.
The designers had to meet a special challenge, as the frame construction had to be set up at the spire top without applying pressure anchors, which are usually used in scaffolding.
Furthermore, the fact that the scaffolding was enclosed by a tarp was the reason that this frame construction had to be designed without a wind load reduction. The frame was built by means of polygonal modular scaffolding; one scaffold with 16 edges, from 131 to 197 ft high, and another scaffold with 8 edges, from 197 to 230 ft high.
