摘要：
The first full scale application of a movable scaffolding system strengthened with an organic prestressing system (OPS) is briefly described. The main characteristics of the steel structure and of the OPS technology are presented and significant aspects of the equipment's structural behaviour are given. The advantages of this innovative solution are established. Results prove that this control system enables the design of lighter scaffolding systems, reducing their service deflection at the same time.
