My visit to the refinery in Canada had us building scaffold to plus 75 feet. Tube and clamp. My first build with an experienced partner had him telling me, "you are incharge until I tell you you are not." I said, "Cool". We got er done .Even had some fun. And a great friend.
Glad to see you back posting! We call that tube lock down here. I have climbed close to three hundred feet on tube lock and 335 feet on a piece spanning about a hundred feet between two units. Hanging slick stainless sheets on an insulated pipe. The sheets were thin, three feet wide by five or six feet long. The wind was howling like usual up there, and I had to let go of about a half dozen sheets before the job was done. I suspect that razor sharp stainless could have cut somebody half in two if it hit wrong at ground level but I was working alone and doing the best I could.
Put together right I would have climbed tube lock to the moon. I hated even eight or ten levels of A Frame scaffolding that wasn't tied off.
