Customer Benefits
- EFCO’s E-BEAM and SUPER STUD® system is a lower cost and lower weight alternative to traditional formwork. As a result, smaller cranes can be used and the number of wall ties needed is reduced.
- When the cores and walls are combined with the innovative, lightweight GUIDED RAIL SYSTEM®, Fly and Form was able to roll back the exterior formwork, cycle to the next level, and clean and oil while all the equipment was safely anchored to the building, increasing the level of safety.
- The ADJUST-A-DECK® tables are supported off the columns, in most cases eliminating any need for reshore of the decks.
- Six-day cycle per floor
I will use EFCO again, many times.
