The efficiency of industrial maintenance or a factory shutdown begins with choosing the right access structure. This ensures that teams can work at height safely, reach all necessary points, and complete tasks in the shortest possible time.

Modular scaffolding addresses exactly this need: composed of interconnected parts, it allows for quick assembly and disassembly, adapting to different heights, shapes, and hard-to-reach areas, including confined spaces.

At ROHR, this concept is taken to a higher level with Kibloc , a modular, multidirectional scaffolding system developed with exclusive technology and manufactured in-house . Available in steel or aluminum, it is designed to meet the highest safety standards—following NR-18 and ABNT NBR 6494 —and to guarantee performance and reliability in different types of industries, from the oil, gas, and chemical sectors to large-scale factories.

What is the function of scaffolding in industrial maintenance?

In industrial environments, preventive and corrective maintenance requires safe access to elevated areas, complex structures, and large equipment.

Modular scaffolding allows for:

• Secure access to hard-to-reach areas;
• Stable work platforms for teams and tools;
• Speed ​​in assembly and disassembly, reducing process downtime;
• Flexibility to adapt to different structures and restricted spaces.

With these characteristics, scaffolding becomes a fundamental element to ensure that maintenance is carried out safely, accurately, and on schedule.

What is scaffolding used for during a factory shutdown?

Industrial shutdowns — planned for machine maintenance, inspections, repairs, or replacements — require quick and efficient solutions so that production can resume as soon as possible.

Modular scaffolding is used for:

• Support in repairs of large equipment and piping;
• Welding, painting and industrial cleaning work;
• Interventions in hard-to-reach areas, such as towers, tanks and warehouses;
• Safe installation in confined spaces.

The versatility of the modular system allows the structure to be assembled around irregular shapes without compromising safety.

Why Kibloc is the ideal scaffolding for factory maintenance and shutdowns.

Kibloc is ROHR's ​​modular scaffolding system developed to offer maximum safety, flexibility, and speed.

Among its differentiators are:

• Available in steel or aluminum., allowing you to choose the most suitable material for each application;
• Multidirectional quick-release systemwhich reduces assembly and disassembly time;
• High load capacity, ideal for heavy-duty work;
• Adaptability to any type of structure or format;
• Compliance with NR-18 (Regulatory Standard No. 18) and ABNT NBR 6494, ensuring safety and compliance with current technical standards;
• Durability Ensured by in-house manufacturing with rigorous quality standards.

In addition, Kibloc scaffolding is available for rent and purchase, catering to both companies that require continuous use and specific maintenance or shutdown needs.

The two versions of Kibloc

To meet different needs, ROHR offers Kibloc in two versions:

Kibloc in Steel – robust, with high load capacity, ideal for environments that require maximum mechanical strength.

Kibloc in Aluminum – lighter, facilitating transport and assembly, ideal for locations where speed and ease of handling are a priority.

Both versions maintain ROHR's ​​standard of safety, versatility, and quality, with in-house manufacturing, exclusive technology, and compliance with NR-18 and ABNT NBR 6494 standards.

Kibloc applications in different types of industry.

Oil, gas, and chemical industry. In this sector, safety and reliability are essential.

Kibloc is ideal for:

• Assemblies in areas with complex geometries, such as spheres and internal and external areas of tanks and boilers;
• Work on offshore and onshore platforms;
• Refineries;
• Chemical and petrochemical plants;
• Steel mills;
• Hydroelectric plants
• Alcohol production plants;
• Industrial pulp plants
• Mining companies.

Industries in general

For factories in the food, paper and pulp, steel, automotive, and other industries, Kibloc offers:

• Quick access to production lines and heavy machinery;
• Flexibility for indoor and outdoor areas;
• Option in steel or aluminum, adapting to different demands of weight, handling and environment;
• Certified safety for working at heights.

Exclusive technology and in-house manufacturing.

ROHR develops and manufactures its own scaffolding, guaranteeing high standards of safety, performance, and durability. All scaffolding meets the requirements of NR-18 and ABNT NBR 6494 , reinforcing its commitment to safety in temporary work at height.

With exclusive technology, Kibloc , available in steel or aluminum, meets the demands of different types of industries and is available throughout Brazil through customized solutions for sale and rental.
