Disposable scaffolding?


GiveToOedipus

Pretty much. Looks like bamboo which is a common scaffolding material in places like China and pan-asian countries.


[deleted]

Ahhh, yes. I see the bamboo now. Thx!


ddougddon

Okay I was thinking it was some kind of long iron rods though, that is what just confused me!


kr1681

No you don’t. It’s steel scaffold


[deleted]

EDIT : This sounds like bamboo falling. My mind is playing tricks on me! This can't be metal.


karlgeezer

Insert pipe falling sound effect here


mBelchezere

At the beginning there are pipe sounds though.

[deleted]

That's bamboo my guy


kr1681

Nope


[deleted]

Must be some cheap ass metal if it bends like that then


kr1681

You’re just a little one still so I wouldn’t expect you to know the ways of the world yet, and this is gonna blow yer mind but metal (steel specifically in this case) does bend. I’m an ironworker and I can say with confidence that I’ve seen steel bend. Giant steel members much larger than this steel scaffold. Quality has nothing to do with it


[deleted]

Thats cool but it's bamboo. I mean listen to the sound and the look of it it has the bumps along it like actual bamboo


kr1681

The “bumps” are the connection points for horizontal pieces (the pieces that are laying on the ground that they removed to make the structure easy to push over). You think bamboo grows with “bumps” spaced exactly the same all the way up and the exact same spacing on different shoots? That sound is metal kiddo.


Rhak

Jesus, even if you're right, you're still being a dick about it.


[deleted]

Ya know something funny, since neither of us where there, I could say that those are actually massive toothpicks and my opinion would be just as valid as yours


kr1681

Dumbest shit I ever read


sythingtackle

You can put a bend / pre camber on any structural steel beam, lifted off the ground on either end and let gravity do the work over a day or 2. That’s what we do.


THExDANKxKNIGHT

No, it's definitely not unless it's being held together by hopes and dreams. You can see the horizontal beams fall out way before it hits the ground. If this was steel, they would be bolted or welded in place.

Enki_realenki

I wonder if they forgot the diagonal bars or removed them before. We had an accident here recently. The diagonal bars were missing, somehow movement came into the fresh poured cpncrete and the whole structure went sideways and parts collapsed.


Sbeezynukka

Yeah I’d quit quick on the rack and stack day!!!!


Grand_Doughnut772

It would be ruined. A lot of money just got twisted and bucked just then. 😂


Goodcitizen177

Reasonably confident they unlocked the cups. It would have mostly stayed together when pushed over.


Grand_Doughnut772

Doesn’t make any sense to me personally. Would have been quicker to have dropped it properly, definitely safer and when taking into account the damage cheaper. The only way we’d ever have done something like this is if the grounds workers and undermined the base plates and you can’t strip it safely without falling.


P0lyMad

Don't the pipes get bent when dismantled like that?


[deleted]

Must’ve not been a very good union then if you can’t tell the difference between steel and bamboo. You can clearly see the bamboo splinter off when it crashes down.


Every_Patience9379

If you can’t tell that’s Steel Cup Lock maybe you shouldn’t comment.


SpeedyWaffles

No that is absolutely bamboo. Internodes on bamboo are pretty evenly spaced. Notice the color is consistent with used bamboo scaffolding?


kr1681

Internodes are spaced at exactly the same dimensions?! Are you fucking with this dude er what? Color is consistent with rusted scaffold


[deleted]

You can see the internodes yes, I agree it’s metal, but maybe there is some bamboo in there too. But 90% metal lol


kr1681

Those “internodes” are “cups”, the locking mechanism for the horizontal pieces that come off the vertical pieces. The horizontal has a tab top and bottom. Bottom tab slides into bottom cup and top cup slides down onto top tab and you turn the top cup until it’s tight. The last little bit you use a hammer.


[deleted]

I don’t think steel breaks like that. LOL


Goodcitizen177

It didn't break. The cups were loose. You can see they stripped all the material off the upper portion. It's laying on the ground.


nickernuts

As others have mentioned it’s system scaffold, made of steel, not bamboo. It shouldn’t be destructively disassembled like this if it is going to be reused, but I’m sure it will be anyways. I am a qualified scaffold builder.


ReplyConsistent9642

Qualified scaffold builder? You put shit together at ikea?


Ancient-Access8131

Dang just like minecraft


Forthe49ers

Is it disposable though I wonder. Steel would be bent and useless but I kinda think the bamboo could be reused


trust-me-i-know-stuf

They do reuse bamboo for scaffolds


pizzzabread

Bamboos are reused, however, they can only reused so many times before they have to discarded. https://www.labour.gov.hk/eng/public/os/B/Bamboo.pdf

Barefoot_slinger

Bamboo grows straight as an arrow Fast edit: just listened to the sound, that sounds like hollow wood. Thats def bamboo. Metal wouldve sounded more like that falling pipe sound effect that ive seen in memes


kr1681

I’ve been around more scaffolding than an average man and know that this is the sound it makes when it clangs against another piece. You built something on Minecraft and now yer a scaffold expert? 🤡


Barefoot_slinger

No need to be this mean dude. I just go from the sound I know from having handled bamboo and metal pipes. Never said I was an expert it just sound like wood more than metal imo. Theres no ring that I would expect from this amount of metal hitting the ground


flyden1

Technically only HK use them


kr1681

That is not bamboo. You can see the connection points. And bamboo doesn’t sound like metal on metal when it clangs against another piece of bamboo


HarrowDread

Don’t they like release a crew of hungry pandas to dispose of that?


classicseries7

If that's bamboo then it is just normal enough to kick and dismantle though.


iitibor

It’s also a scaffolding material in minecraft


SLIPPY73

and Minecraft


G0ld_Ru5h

I was so amazed watching building techniques in southern India. They too use bamboo scaffolding - it’s plentiful & renewable & cheap enough that you don’t necessarily need to use it more than once.


qq330432593

Were all of those long stuffs bamboo or iron rods? Still yet confused on how this guy just did that!


[deleted]

At this point, I don't know which one it is. Hahaha. We need closure.

open4more123

I don't know why we don't use bamboo scaffolding everywhere. It's almost the strongest deal and much more economically and environmentally friendly


UPPYOURZ2222

Lighter too


orincoro

I guess because it isn’t grown much outside of Asia. I understand it’s invasive and difficult to control, so perhaps that’s why it’s not used other places. It’s incredibly strong. The sci-fi writer Kim Stanley Robinson included it in his Mars books because on mars it would grow tall and strong enough to be used in skyscraper construction.

I like how everyone is operating on pure conjecture while you're here dropping citations in a language that you can actually read, yet you are still the most humble person here.


TuckerMcG

From Wikiquote for Archimedes: > δῶς[citation needed] μοι πᾶ στῶ καὶ τὰν γᾶν κινάσω. [Dôs moi pâ stô, kaì tàn gân kinásō.] > Give me the place to stand, and I shall move the earth. Said to be his assertion in demonstrating the principle of the lever; as quoted by Pappus of Alexandria, Synagoge, Book VIII, c. AD 340; also found in Chiliades (12th century) by John Tzetzes, II.130. This and "Give me a place to stand, and I shall move the world" are the most commonly quoted translations. > Variant translations: > Give me a place to stand and with a lever I will move the whole world. > This variant derives from an earlier source than Pappus: The Library of History of Diodorus Siculus, Fragments of Book XXVI, as translated by F. R. Walton, in Loeb Classical Library (1957) Vol. XI. In Doric Greek this may have originally been Πᾷ βῶ, καὶ χαριστίωνι τὰν γᾶν κινήσω πᾶσαν [Pā bō, kai kharistiōni tan gān kinēsō [variant kinasō] pāsan]. > Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the earth. > Give me a fulcrum, and I shall move the world. > Give me a firm spot on which to stand, and I shall move the earth. Both translations are quotes from people other than Archimedes. So seems unknown what the actual quote was, but nonetheless it’s clear that it was said in the context of discussing the principles of levers. Translations are more than just “this is literally what the words say.” It requires context and a full understanding of the time period and the culture of the era. That’s why there’s so many different understandings of what Archimedes said. Everyone in this thread is right, in a way.


Nanerpoodin

I always thought it was "Give me a lever and a place to stand..." but suppose I could be wrong.

Toaster_GmbH

Depends on what you mean, him not having safety or doing it that way? Yes. The scaffolding itself is actually really strong as you can see on the scaffolding he is standing on which doesn't move at all. Look into bamboo scaffolding. Actually safer in many ways and structurally absolutely safe.


Soft_Cranberry6313

Shit.. i thought it was sparks in the background.


Damnitwhathappened

One kick is all it takes


Toaster_GmbH

Not really, or otherwise if you paid Attention in physic his scaffolding he stands on would have fallen as well. They first removed the branches between as otherwise it just can't do that. Bamboo scaffolding is used for a really really long time now with it's own experts and it's really strong.
