A Scaffold by Any Other Name...

Photos clockwise from top left: The safety rails stay in place as the platform climbs the tower.
Adjustable scaffolding towers can be amazingly strong, as shown in this 1988 photo. Towers made of high-strength alloy steel allow this system to be safely built up to 552 feet high.
The building on the left is only nine feet away from the one under construction. Using his elevating scaffolding, the contractor was able to build his 245-foot-long wall in this narrow area. The walls in the open (shown here) were simple by comparison.
