New Medical Facility at Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon
About the Customer
Company: DYCUSA of Monterrey, Mexico
Project Location: Garza, Nuevo Leon, Mexico
Project Overview
Building a new medical facility at Universidad Autonoma de Nuevo Leon.
Project Requirements
- Thick-walled bunker with a height of 14′-1″ (4.3 m) topped with a 11′-4″ (3.45 m) thick slab
- Walls in a single pour
- Areas not accessible with a crane
Formwork Used
Customer Benefits
- HAND-E-FORM® panels can be easily assembled and cycled by one crew member, eliminating the need for a crane
- E-Z DECK® system was used to support the thick slab pour on top of the walls because of its load bearing capacity
This was a mixed type of 14′-1″ (4.3 m) walls that have enormous dimensions, some of them with more than 6′ (1.8 m) of thickness. We had two-sided walls and one-sided walls. EFCO delivered a solution that made it possible to pour everything at once.
