The London ambulance service said: “An investigation has been launched after two men were injured after scaffolding attached to Hammersmith town hall collapsed late on Wednesday afternoon.
“Officers from the Metropolitan police attended along with firefighters.”
Tube-Lock® tubes are regular 48,3mm scaffolding tubes, fitted with two cast iron Tube-Lock pieces. Because of the Tube-Lock ends, tubes can be connected with each other by a twisting motion, visibly locking them in place. No tools nor additional parts are required to make or secure the connection.
This provides many advantages.
Because the two tubes can be joined by a twisting motion, it is a fast and easy way to connect tubes together. This leads to faster erection and dismantling times for the entire scaffold.
Furthermore, no additional parts nor tools are needed. No longer needing sleeve couplers and joint pins means that there are no spare parts that need to be transported. Additionally, you don’t have to invest in sleeve couplers and joint pins as you no longer need them.
This also eliminates the risk of sleeve couplers breaking, getting lost or getting stolen. And you don’t have to service the sleeve couplers anymore. Tube-Lock connections are completely maintenance-free.
Another logistical advantage is that Tube-Lock comes in standard lengths from 1 meter or 4ft up to 4 meters or 13ft. Because of this flexibility, it prevents the necessity of cutting the tubes to length.
The maximum length of 4 meters means the maximum weight of a Tube-Lock tube is 16 kg. This leads to less strain on scaffolders, which is essential because of the strict Occupational Health and Safety regulations.
Additionally, there is no need to stagger joints, Tube-Lock is as strong as a continuous tube. The connection may even be submitted to pull force. Using Tube-Lock tubes leads to a smooth tube connection over the full length of the tube. This makes it possible to use couplers anywhere on the tube. Even on the Tube-Lock connection.
In their innovative production facility, they can turn your (used) scaffolding tube to Tube-Lock tubes! This means you can update your own material without enormous investments. Even the repair of existing Tube-Lock stock is possible. And they now offer a special discount on the conversion of your scaffolding tube!

Designed for quick, reliable installation, the bolt requires no resin or rawl plugs and can be fixed directly into brick, concrete, timber, and other suitable solid substrates. The fixing can be used for single and double tie bars, shear ties and band & plates to name a few.
As the product tagline puts it: “No more extra socket in your pocket.”
Key Features
caffmag previously reported on the fire when the death toll stood at 55. Authorities have now confirmed a significantly higher number of fatalities as rescue operations end and investigators begin entering the damaged towers.
Firefighters and emergency teams battled the blaze for 42 hours across seven of the estate’s eight high-rise blocks. Officials described it as the deadliest residential fire in Hong Kong for nearly eight decades.
The latest figures confirm 128 dead and 79 injured, including 12 firefighters. The extent of structural damage means many of the missing may only be located once full access is possible. The fire department said temperatures reached around 500C, causing repeated flare-ups even after sections were initially controlled.
Investigators say the fire began at a lower level before climbing bamboo scaffolding wrapped in construction mesh. The estate had been undergoing major renovation and was covered in flammable materials, including foam boards used to seal windows. These materials are believed to have accelerated vertical and lateral fire spread under windy conditions.
Police revealed that all eight towers’ fire-alarm systems were not functioning effectively at the time of the incident. Residents told local media that alarms had been disabled during renovation work, and several had previously raised concerns about the type of materials being installed.
Three staff from the renovation contractor, including two company directors and an engineering consultant, have been arrested on suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter. Police have also opened a corruption inquiry into renovation approvals and procurement.
Authorities said 89 of the recovered bodies have not yet been identified. Sixteen bodies remain inside the buildings, and recovery teams will begin systematic searches once the structures are deemed safe to enter.
Hong Kong’s government has announced a full review of renovation safety standards, temporary works rules and the use of bamboo scaffolding on occupied buildings. Anger is rising across the city as questions mount over regulatory oversight and enforcement.
Wang Fuk Court, built in 1983, contains nearly 2,000 apartments and housed about 4,600 residents, many of them elderly. With a large number of deaths still unconfirmed, the event is expected to reshape building-safety policy in one of the world’s most densely populated urban areas.
