Scaffold anchor testing is essential for demonstrating that scaffold ties have been installed correctly and are capable of safely supporting the scaffold.
Managing these records on paper can be time-consuming and makes retrieving historical information difficult.
The SMART Forms Anchor Testing App allows engineers and inspectors to record every test digitally, automatically generating professional PDF reports while securely storing every result within SMART Manager.
What is an anchor testing app?
An anchor testing app is digital software used to record scaffold tie and anchor pull tests on a mobile device. Inspectors can capture pull test values, photographs, signatures and observations while automatically generating professional PDF reports and securely storing every testing record for future reference.
