Boom Technology v/s Scaffolding

The Boom is a technology developed by John Tiedemann. In 1953 the idea was forced upon him when the cost of scaffolding was too high for most churches to afford. He designed an out-rigger system that many thought would fail. With his determination, he found a company that would construct his plans. A boom was built on top of a 1947 "Willie's" Jeep that also anchors the out-riggers. Whereas Scaffolding is a temporary structure used to support people and material in the construction or repair of buildings and other large structures. It is usually a modular system of metal pipes or tubes, although it can be from other materials. Bamboo is frequently used in some Asian countries, such as Hong Kong.

Let’s see the major differences between the New Boom technology and Scaffolding.

Firstly by using the Boom Technology cost of the total project is reduced significantly because there is no third party involved in scaffolding rental, erection, or dismantling process Whereas in Scaffolding Technology cost of scaffolding alone from rental with erection and dismantling charges is usually more than the cost of painting the entire church with an aerial lift. Secondly it easily enters a church passing most double doors at a width of 40 inches wide. Whereas it is well known fact "Large and bulky usually causing damage to the building upon entering and exiting" and in scaffolding work itself is bulky. Thirdly the boom is compact and can easily be stored for weekends. Whereas this all bulky folding will drastically reduces available seating space and many times cuts off key areas in churches because of its shape and size. Fourthly this equipment can be set up and taken down and moved in less than 5 minutes or put in and taken out of a church the same day. Whereas here it is large-scale scaffolding is usually rented for long periods of time. The erection and dismantling is a longer and more disruptive process. Fifthly its overall weight is low compared to large amounts of scaffolding. Coming to other side the weight of large amounts of scaffolding is great and may be dangerous for older structures to support. Sixthly this boom technology can be operated by as few as two workmen thus cutting cost. Whereas the major of the cost will costing you for erection and dismantling is an inconvenient, time-consuming, and labor-intensive process. Seventhly it has great versatility of motion and height and easy maneuverability. Whereas its once the scaffolding is erected it is stagnant with no maneuverability.

Coming to the safety of the Boom’s it is as safe as we using our laptops because boom runs on a standard 15amp 110 outlets. There are no dangerous gasoline powered engines or fumes and the risk of injury is greatly increased with scaffolding due to possible falling debris and blocked exit pathways.

The boom is self-propelled and moves on rubber tires with an equal weight distribution outrigger system that is designed so no pews have to be removed. It will not damage expensive flooring or woodwork and where as Scaffolding is bulky, heavy, and inconvenient. It generally runs a much greater risk of damaging pews and floors during the erection and dismantling process. Last but not least the Usage of boom makes the working church atmosphere more pleasant and professional with no visual obstructions and Whereas Scaffolding is disruptive and aesthetically unpleasant to the general public.

Hence Our Patented "Boom" Technology enables us to supply services to accomplish a complete interior restoration from design to finish stages. Our expertise is unmatched in this field like Church Painting, Church Restoration, Liturgical Design, etc and many more.
