I need to calculate volume of the scaffolding (staging) erected for coating job of a 79m dia and 20m height crude oil tank. The scaffolding is box type without planks. Can anyone please let me know the formula?

Well, we know the crude oil tank is about 60 feet tall, and we know its diameter is about 240 feet around. We know that most scaffolding is about 4 feet wide, and about 8 feet long- which just happens to be the size that a sheet of plywood would fit. Amazing how that happens eh?
The real quesiton is- how many repair/painting teams are you going to use? 240/4 teams= 60 feet wide, 60 feet high, and that would be each team repairing an area 60 by 60 right? Play with the math for area.
Good Luck, thanks for 2 points- Larry

This is easy. The length and width of the scaffolding would be the same as the diameter of the tank: 79 meters. The height of the scaffolding would be the height of the tank: 20 meters. The volume would be: 79 m. * 79 m. * 20 m. = ? cu. m. ..... well, you can do the rest.

Maybe it would be much easier (and save A LOT of time) to go to a rental place and get one of those motorized hydrualic scissor lifts???? Materials on hand, no climbing up and down, no erecting then moving it then erecting again etc etc etc.... Just a thought?
