Vállvány

Vállvány is a Hungarian word that translates to "scaffolding" in English. Scaffolding refers to a temporary structure used to support people and materials during the construction, maintenance, or repair of buildings and other structures. It is typically erected on the exterior of a building, although it can also be used indoors for tasks like stadium renovations or accessing high ceilings in large halls.

The primary purpose of scaffolding is to provide a safe and stable working platform at elevated heights. It allows workers to reach areas that would otherwise be inaccessible, enabling them to perform tasks such as bricklaying, plastering, window installation, painting, and structural repairs. Scaffolding systems are designed to distribute the weight of the workers, tools, and materials evenly, preventing undue stress on the building's structure.

There are various types of scaffolding, each suited for different applications. Common types include system scaffolding, which uses standardized components that can be quickly assembled; tube and coupler scaffolding, which is more adaptable to complex or irregular structures; and mobile scaffolding, which is mounted on wheels for easy relocation. The design and erection of scaffolding are subject to strict safety regulations to prevent accidents, such as falls from height or structural collapse. Proper training for workers and regular inspections of the scaffolding are crucial aspects of its safe use.
