Tube & fitting access scaffold to main bridge fin, supported directly from welded sections onto submarine hull. RMD Kwikform access towers with additional beamed sections and bracing to make the entire tower cranable within the main operations hall. Considerable dynamic loading from lifting operations made structural analysis essential. Member forces were analysed for all permutations of the tower.
