Why use bamboo scaffolding? because in some countries its much easier to source than aluminum, no open pit mining or smelting required, no having to pay shipping on foreign materials, and it has virtually all the same structural qualities as aluminum scaffolding. Lightweight, flexible, sturdy enough for people and their tools.

Like why not just build everything out of titanium or diamonds? because they're very expensive. Construction usually only goes to the lowest bidder, and you come in as the lowest bid by saving money wherever you can. So if bamboo is cheaper and just as effective, then they're going with bamboo.

Aluminium can easily burn too btw, its ignition point is only 20-30% higher than bamboo's, depending on what kind of surface treatment it gets. So the real question here is why somebody left something that burns at 400 degrees unattended? The answer is usually 'insurance scam'.

the bamboo is the cause of the fire...

also, you wont catch me 100's or even 1000's of feet in the air, in the wind, on some shakey bamboo scaffolding.... thats simply unsafe in all sorts of ways.

anywho, have a nice day

Scaffolding was bought on Temu. Probably the high rises too.

with that said, why on earth are they using "bamboo scaffolding" to build high rises?

That does sound crazy to me, jet fuel can melt that I'm pretty sure
Hopefully the worst is over

Bamboo doesn't self ignite at ambient earth temperatures.

Only a bot would argue that it can.

making up things i didnt say, doesnt change that the bamboo is the cause of the fire.

have a nice day

You said bamboo caused the fire. So yes, you did say it self ignited.

saying the bamboo was the cause, doesnt magically create words i didnt say.

no one said anything about "self igniting".

you do realize, bamboo can light on fire from other sources right?

"self-ignition"

0/8

have a nice day
