The average lifespan of a structure is 495 days – but 22% have been up more than two years
A pretty small fraction, just 6% of all the projects, have only been up for a month. About a quarter have been in existence for one to six months and a shocking 22% of all current scaffolding projects have been up for over two years.
Scaffolding projects often go up for essential repairs and they can protect pedestrians from falling debris and equipment. However necessary they might be, they’re also kind of a pain. They block sunlight and make sidewalks feel like a labyrinth, especially if you are navigating with a wheelchair.
