Customer Benefits
Preassembled Formwork
EFCO preassembled the SUPER STUD® and E-BEAM® Wall formwork system and the SSWT frames (A+B sections) separately to be shipped to the jobsite.
Wall Formwork System
The SUPER STUD and E-BEAM Wall formwork system was picked and placed face down into the pit. Then the preassembled frames followed so that a complete gang was built face down.
Strategically Engineered to Properly Cycle Formwork | One Sided Wall
EFCO Single-Sided Wall Truss system was the most efficient way to tackle this job. Eleven 20′ (6.1 m) tall gangs using A+B frames optimized @ 6′ (1.8 m) O.C. were provided for Pour 1 on the 130′ (39.6 m) portion of the ‘U’. The gangs were strategically engineered to properly cycle without reconfiguration to the two subsequent 122′ (37.2 m) one-sided wall pours.
We are very pleased with the performance of the EFCO system, especially the ability to keep the system intact while cycling. By adding caster wheels, we were able to minimize our crane usage and easily maneuvered the gangs in place.
