Restoration... Hagia Sophia scaffolding

Scaffolding is a temporary frame used to support people and material in the construction or repair of buildings and other large structures.  The American National Standards Institute describes scaffolding as “a temporary elevated or suspended work unit and its supporting structure used for supporting worker(s) or materials, or both,”

Usually this is a modular system of metal pipes (termed tubes in the UK). These are known as tube and fitting scaffolds. The process of building the scaffold, erection and dismantling is called striking. In other countries alternative materials have been used, Asia still uses Bamboo for example.  If you need scaffolding the best place to start is www.tuxebo.co.uk.  Tuxebo helps you get scaffolding quotes fast and cheaper.
