Digital Scaffold Management

Bilfinger Scaffold Portal

Digitising the Scaffold Inventory

The Bilfinger Scaffold Portal digitises the scaffold inventory and management process by introducing significant process improvements, as well as full transparency of activities on-site and by providing supervisory personnel access to a digital twin for all associated documentation.

Historically scaffold management has been predominantly paper-based, which is subject to human error or wilful neglect that can lead to site tonnage anomalies. The Bilfinger Scaffold Portal registers and associates paperwork in a PDF format, which are then stored to meet regulatory requirements.

Our engineers identified a requirement for a simple and effective method of managing scaffold inventory on-site, that can be monitored remotely, and remain compliant with local regulatory requirements. Therefore, the Bilfinger Scaffold Portal was designed as a bespoke digital platform for the energy market, and was created with our technical authorities, scaffold design team, engineers, and in-house digitalisation team to ensure compliance with current regulations and industry best practice.

The Bilfinger Scaffold Portal also allows our customers to take photographs of scaffolds and save these to the tag ID, as well as create reports using Microsoft Power BI to provide clear and live analytical dashboards.
