Highrise Tower 34680 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 My mom went to Hawaii for a week. She sent me these pictures. She knew I like highrises so it was sort of a joke. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ross 1526 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I wish I could find my pictures from Bangkok, where the scaffolding on high rise construction was all wood or bamboo lashed together. I guess it works, but it looked pretty scary. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mollusk 2422 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 ^^ Of course, the world over all of the major cathedrals, temples, tall viaducts, etc., etc. were built with some sort of plant based staging until ~150 years ago... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember that horrifying bamboo scaffold with little to no planking being all over Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur. EDIT: I couldn't find the scaffold, but enjoy this OSHA-approved brick throwing line in KL. Edited March 16, 2020 by JBTX 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
