Code of Practice for Access and Working Scaffolds
Where reveal ties are used, a greater number of ties are required. Where
practicable, no more than 50% reveal ties should be used unless they are
supplemented by permanent bolted or cast-in anchorages and a high level of
maintenance.
3.3.2.4. Returns
Where a system scaffold is continually and correctly returned around the corner of
a building, it can be regarded as being equal to a tie to the first pair of standards in
each direction from the quoin (e.g. the ties can commence from the second pair of
standards back from the return). It should be noted that if a correct and continuous
return is not in place, then each elevation should be regarded as separate and must
then be tied at each end. Plan bracing of ledgers would be required to provide tying
to adjacent standards.
