PASMA launches advance course

PASMA will launch a new advanced tower training course at the Executive Hire Show (ESH) today held in Coventry, UK.

Initially available to PASMA approved hire and assembly members and manufacturing members, the Towers for Riggers is a week long intensive training course which focuses on the construction of advanced tower structures outside of the scope of EN1004.

The course has been designed to train tower riggers to assemble and dismantle complex mobile access towers include towers with large decked area, high levels towers (external towers over eight metres and internal towers over 12 metres), bridging structures, end and side cantilevers towers, linked façade structures and stepped towers.

PASMA’s technical director Don Aers said: “There is sometimes the idea that towers are just for simple jobs at low level, but PASMA members can also provide complex tower configurations that provide the benefits of fast assembly, alteration and dismantling using lightweight equipment to deliver solutions for very complicated work at height requirements. We’ve seen towers used on stairs and escalators, in swimming pools, in cathedrals with delicate flooring, in awkward small spaces and on high-rise buildings. Towers for Riggers unlocks the huge potential and versatility of the access tower.”
