Amaqembu amancane okwakha agxile ekuvuseleleni izindlu zasemapulazini ezindala kanye nezakhiwo zezikole zasemaphandleni ezindaweni zasemapulazini ezomile nezinomoya entshonalanga yeColorado sekuyisikhathi eside ehlushwa yinkinga ekhathazayo: izixhumi ze-scaffolding ezijwayelekile ezingafakwanga i-galvanized ziyashintshashintsha zibe yisimo futhi zikhululeke ngemva kwamasonto ambalwa nje, zigugiswe amafu othuli angapheli kanye nokushintsha kwezinga lokushisa lasemini nasebusuku okwenza izingcezu zensimbi ezithambile zihlukane. Kulokhu kwekwindla,Isixhumi Semikhono Esihlanganisiwe Esihlanganisiweiye yavela njengekhambi elithembekile, inikeza indlela eqinile, eqinile nesimo sezulu yokubopha amashubhu okufaka izikali ndawonye ngokuqinile.

Isitolo sezimpahla zepulazi esiphethwe ngumndeni eDes Moines sisanda kwengezwaIsixhumi Semikhono Esihlanganisiwe Esihlanganisiweesitokweni sayo, ngemuva kokuba abakhi bendawo becele ikhambi lezinto zokwakha ezivame ukugqwala ezabambezela ukulungiswa kwesikhathi sokuvuna.Izihlanganisi Zemikhono EgayiweI-zinc coating esindayo imelana nothuli olupheshulwa umoya kanye neqhwa elincibilikayo, kuyilapho ukwakheka kwayo okune-dual-bolt kudala ukubamba okuhlala kuqinile ngisho noma amazinga okushisa eshintsha ngama-degrees angu-40 ngosuku olulodwa. Abasebenzisi bokuqala babika ukuthiIsixhumi Semikhono Esihlanganisiwe Esihlanganisiweinciphise isikhathi sayo sokulungisa izikafula ngo-30%, yabenza baqeda imisebenzi ngaphambi kokuba kube neqhwa lokuqala elinzima.

Iqembu elincane lokulungisa izindlu eRaleigh lashintshelaIsixhumi Semikhono Esihlanganisiwe Esihlanganisiweentwasahlobo edlule ngemuva kokucishe kufe: i-coupler engagqwali engagqwali yashelela ngesikhathi sokufakwa kwe-siding esitezi sesibili, okwathumela ingxenye ye-scaffolding tilting. “Besivame ukushintsha ama-coupler njalo ngenyanga ngesikhathi semvula,” kusho induna yeqembu. “Selokhu sifake i-Galvanized Sleeve Coupler, asikaze sibe nokuxhumeka okuxegayo ezinyangeni eziyisithupha—izisebenzi zethu azinqikazi ukukhuphuka, futhi siqeda imisebenzi ngokushesha ezinsukwini ezimbili ngokwesilinganiso.” Umklamo wendawo yonke weIsixhumi Semikhono Esihlanganisiwe Esihlanganisiwefuthi ifanela amashubhu ajwayelekile angama-48.3 mm okusika, okwenza kube lula ngamaqembu amancane ukuthuthukisa ngaphandle kokushintsha izinhlelo eziphelele. Kwabasebenzi abaqaphela isabelomali,Izihlanganisi Zemikhono EgayiweIsikhathi sokuphila seminyaka emi-5 kanye nezindleko zokulungisa eziphansi kwenza kube ukukhetha okungabizi kakhulu kunezinketho ezilahlwayo ezingenayo i-galvanized.

Ama-cooperative okwakha endawo eMidwest manje aqhuba ama-workshop okufundisa amaqembu amancane ukuthi angafakwa kanjaniIsixhumi Semikhono Esihlanganisiwe Esihlanganisiwe, njengoba inani lababekhona liphindeka kabili ezinyangeni ezintathu ezedlule njengoba izindaba zokuthembeka kwalo zisakazeka. Ngokungafani nezinkampani zokwakha zasemadolobheni amakhulu ezingakwazi ukukhokhela izinhlelo ze-scaffolding ezenziwe ngokwezifiso, amaqembu asemakhaya athembele ezingxenyeni ezitholakala eshalofini—futhiIsixhumi Semikhono Esihlanganisiwe Esihlanganisiweifanelana kahle nemisebenzi yabo engenamsebenzi. “Akuyona ithuluzi elikhazimulayo, kodwa uhlobo lwengxenye egcina amaqembu ethu ephephile kanye namaphrojekthi ethu esendleleni,” kusho umhleli wokubambisana. Njengoba isizini yemvula yasezintabeni iqhubeka, isidingoIsixhumi Semikhono Esihlanganisiwe Esihlanganisiweisakhuphuka, njengoba amaqembu amancane okwakha endawo ethenga ngobuningi ukuze agweme ukubambezeleka okuhlobene nehadiwe ngesikhathi sokulungiswa kwemizila ephezulu. Kula maqembu asezintabeni,Izithandani Zemikhono Ehlanganisiwekungaphezu kokuthuthukiswa kwehadiwe—kuyisihluthulelo sokuqinisekisa ukuthi amaphrojekthi ahlala ngesikhathi nokuvikela ukufinyelela komphakathi ezindleleni zokuhamba izintaba eziphephile.
