The use of efficient formwork systems for the walls and slabs ensured that the very tight completion deadline for the building shell could be met.

Project Information

Requirements

Architecturally elaborate balcony facade Architectural concrete requirements for walls and undersides of the balconies Tight schedule of only 10 months for the building shell

Solutions

Formwork solution for walls, slabs and balcony cantilevers with well thought-out cycle planning MAXIMO panel formwork for architectural concrete walls for a clearly defined joint and tie arrangement and a 25% time advantage for forming the walls (on-site material requirements 800 m² SKYDECK for storey slabs - working without time-consuming use of a crane, with easy handling and early striking with the drophead system for forming the slabs (on-site material requirements 2,200 m²) Cantilevered slab formwork with simultaneous utilization as work scaffold

Customer benefits

Architectural concrete walls with clearly arranged joint and tie pattern

Compliance with the tight construction schedule

Very manageable on-site material requirements

With SKYDECK, we have exactly the right slab formwork system for our construction project – the drophead for early striking as well as the simple and easy handling have really convinced us. And the MAXIMO wall formwork is 25 per cent faster than conventional panel formwork systems; the one-sided anchoring in particular saves a great deal of time.
