Over the last 20 years, scaffold shrink wrapping has become a recognised method of encapsulating scaffold structures, either for temporary weather protection or containment of dust and debris, particularly where a more robust solution is needed. Although the heat tools used for shrinking the scaffolding wrap have to do the same job as for industrial packaging, i.e. quickly heat the shrink wrap film to a high enough temperature that it begins to shrink, the demands on the heat tools used in the construction industry are greater.
This week I received an email from the contracts supervisor of a scaffold company based in Manchester. His company had a few customers who required working scaffolds with full weather protection. He had previously looked into training a few of the lads on shrink wrapping and buying the equipment and materials but somehow had never got around to it.
