Customer Benefits
- Ability to pre-assemble EFCO shore towers on the ground, then fly them into position by crane. This significantly enhanced erection efficiency and flexibility at the jobsite and enabled for a safe environment for workers
- The modular and standardized shoring towers EFCO provided also benefited CCCC in terms of saving the time it took to cycle equipment from pier to pier, largely due to fact that EFCO’s E-Z DECK shore towers can be easily moved fully assembled and modified to accommodate any height variance.
