Selfclimbing scaffolding / Nor Ainaa Nabilah Razaki

High-rise buildings became achievable with the invention of the technology, less expensive and more plentiful building materials. Many of the high-rise building
nowadays used a steel frame as a structure, while residential blocks are usually constructed of concrete or IBS panel. The construction of high-rises especially in the urban area is not simple. Construction of high rise building is very challenging especially when there is work to lift materials. The current method requires a lot of time and workers. It also requires a large amount of space. A new method should be able to solve this problem for the construction industry needs to be developed. The aims of this study is to design an innovative product to simplify the material handling of frame steel structure process and reduce the risk that can occurred by identifying what is the best method used for material handling of frame steel structure in the construction industry. The overview of the construction site in Malaysia is elaborated with the support from other researcher. Self-Climbing Scaffolding was created in response to the identification of current issues and problems in the handling of frame steel structures. Issues include time delay, labour consumption, limited spaces, and safety issues. Self-Climbing Scaffolding is equipped with features that assure high accuracy while ensuring a safe working environment. The Self-Climbing Scaffolding
has the potential to be sold to potential IBS users, particularly IBS contractors. Based on the responses to an online questionnaire survey, the marketability potential of the ideas has been determined.
