Frauenkirche Dresden

Temporary access was required for maintenance work on the windows inside the dome of the historic Frauenkirche in Dresden. The issue was that the live load could be no more than 2kN/m² on the wooden circular floor within the dome but the topmost platform needed to be at approximately 16.5m.

Layher designed an aluminium Allround mobile tower with a circular track which was easy for 2-3 men to move around. The stair flights were 2.00m x 0.73m with no single component being longer than 2.5m. The total weight of the scaffold was approximately 2,700kg.

Thank you to Layher Germany for the use of these photos.
