Dismantle Log

A list of scaffolds that have been fully dismantled. Used to complete job closure, review dates, and download dismantle certificates.

Purpose

The Dismantle Log contains all scaffolds that have been taken down on site.

It serves as the record of completion, proof of return, and closure of the scaffold lifecycle.

Use it to:

  • Confirm completion dates

  • Track who dismantled the scaffold

  • Export records for billing and compliance

  • Download Dismantle Certificates


How the Dismantle Log Works

The Dismantle Log automatically records all scaffolds that have been fully dismantled and closed on site. Once a dismantle is confirmed, the scaffold is removed from all active logs and placed permanently into the Dismantle Log for record-keeping, reporting, and certificate access.

The system follows this workflow:

  • Scaffold is marked as dismantled

    • When the dismantle is completed and confirmed in the system, the scaffold is removed from the Scaffold Log and Upcoming Dismantles Log.

    • It will then appear in the Dismantle Log.

  • Dismantle details are stored permanently

    • The scaffold will be recorded with:

      • Erection date

      • Actual dismantle date

      • Notes or photos

      • Linked handover certificate

      • Linked inspection certificate

      • Linked dismantle certificate

    • This creates a full historical record for auditing and client reporting.

  • Certificates and exports

    • Each entry allows the download of the Dismantle Certificate.

    • The full log can be exported to Excel for billing or compliance records.

Note: No scaffolds are deleted

Once a scaffold has been dismantled, it stays in this log as part of permanent history.

This ensures compliance traceability and proof of work for internal and client use.

The Dismantle Log provides a complete closure stage in the scaffold lifecycle, ensuring every scaffold is traceable from erection, to handover, to inspection, and finally dismantle.
