TG16:21 Anchoring to the Ground - Digital Download (PDF format)
This guidance note provides essential advice on anchoring scaffolds to the ground, helping companies ensure stability where ground-based restraints are required.
This 2 page technical guidance is aimed aimed at scaffolding companies, designers, and site managers. It focuses on situations where scaffolds require anchorage directly to the ground rather than to permanent structures, such as free-standing or temporary installations. The guidance outlines ground assessment, anchor types, load considerations, installation methods, and inspection requirements to ensure anchors provide adequate restraint. By following this guidance, companies can achieve stable, compliant scaffold structures and reduce the risk of movement or collapse due to inadequate ground anchoring.
