Customer Benefits
Setting and Stripping Formwork Monolithically
The 86’ long x 9’ wide x 12’ tall pier cap relied on the capacity of SUPER PLATE GIRDER® formwork for the soffits to support the placement of approximately 1.4 million pounds (635,029 kg) of concrete and rebar. EFCO also provided pier stem formwork that allowed them to pour the 7’ and 8’ diameter piers up to 62’ monolithically.
