ULMA Solution

The restoration of the roof over the Ambassador's Staircase in the Palace of Versailles demonstrated the versatility and flexibility of BRIO Modular Scaffolding at its best. Its diverse configurations and applications helped to install a temporary roof for the restoration works. As its erection is very simple, BRIO has provided a fast, cost-effective and customised solution to the requirements of the project. In addition to the security of a certified product, BRIO offers the maximum safety for workers during the entire process.

The many modulation and adjustment options of the BRIO scaffolding have allowed of its use in various applications:

    • Staircase and service lift: facilitated access to and transfer of material quickly and safely to any point on the building site.
    • Walkways and working platforms: provided large obstacle-free areas for passage and work. Ideal for large loads.
    • Mono-pitch and duo-pitch roofs: with bays of 22.5 m at a height of 17.5 m, protected building and workers from any adversity. 
    • Support for masonry work.
    • Support of advertising canvas: respected the amenity of the surroundings without disturbing visitor traffic and withstanding wind impact.

The handrail post as means of collective protection is installed from the lower level thus avoiding falls from height when workers access higher levels.
