ULMA Solution
These operations require scaffolding as auxiliary means of great versatility and quick adjustment according to requirements and geometries - this is the strength of BRIO Modular Scaffolding.
The time the oil platforms stay in for technical servicing has to be as short as possible. Therefore a group of scaffolders work in shifts of 12 hours, morning and night, seven days a week.
