Self-Spanning Concrete Formwork
EFCO’s experience, engineering, and forming technology have developed the PLATE GIRDER® forming system. This is with many of your forming needs in mind, including bridges, stadiums, marine work, and power plants, together with wall forming and elevator and shaft forming for high-rise construction. The system is here to deliver the best value and lowest in-place concrete costs. The PLATE GIRDER forming system will meet your needs for strong, durable, and yet versatile concrete forming. The form panels of the EFCO PLATE GIRDER forming system work in a similar manner to a girder but with four important additional features for forming concrete. The heavy gauge EFCO steel web does double duty, acting also as the form face sheet.
Large Gang Walls
The EFCO corner bearing block in the PLATE GIRDER® form insures the transfer of the flange forces between the individual modular forms. This provides EFCO’s PLATE GIRDER forming system with its unique self-spanning characteristics which enable the contractor to pour aerial concrete without expensive and time-consuming inter-span shoring.
