Upcoming Dismantles

A list of all active scaffolds approaching their dismantle dates. Used to plan resources and scheduling before dismantling takes place.

Purpose

This log tracks scaffolds that are still erected but nearing dismantle.

It is used to coordinate teams, assign inspectors, notify customers and keep deadlines organised.

Use it to:

• See which scaffolds require dismantling soon

• Inspect before dismantle

• Extend hire if the scaffold must remain longer

• Move a scaffold to the Dismantle Log once taken down

How the Upcoming Dismantle Log Works

The Upcoming Dismantles Log automatically manages scaffold status based on the scheduled dismantle date.

No manual sorting or moving of scaffolds is required.

The system follows this workflow:

• Three days before a scaffold’s dismantle date

  • The scaffold will automatically appear in the Upcoming Dismantles Log.

  • This indicates that it is approaching dismantle and requires attention, planning, inspection, or extension.

• If the scaffold is dismantled

  • Once dismantling is completed and recorded, the scaffold is removed from the Upcoming Dismantles Log.

  • It will then appear in the Dismantle Log, along with its dismantle details and certificate.

See dismantle log

• If the scaffold is extended beyond the dismantle date

  • When an extension moves the dismantle date more than 3 days into the future:

    • It will be removed from the Upcoming Dismantles Log.

    • The scaffold will appear back in the Scaffold Log, where its updated erection period and hire details continue to be tracked.

See scaffold log

This ensures that:

• Only scaffolds that require dismantle attention are shown in the Upcoming Dismantles Log

• Scaffolds are never lost, deleted, or hidden

• Status and movement between logs are fully automated for accuracy and compliance
