ResumoThe present paper describes a methodology to achieve operational and integrity validation of the structure-automation system on scaffolding systems with organic prestressing. Said methodology was developed for the first full-scale application of this new type of structure and it comprises software safety tools, experimental validation tests and checklist implementation. The main characteristics of the movable scaffolding system are highlighted and a description of the automation project and inherent control system is given, comprising operational modes, hardware and software issues. Finally, after providing recorded data for the structure-automation system in service, the feasibility and efficiency of the presented automation solution are confirmed.
