Civil engineering projects
Moulds and scaffolding for railway platforms
This project in Ghent consists of 2 parts.
- Manufacturing precast curved elements
- On-site scaffold system to support the curved elements along with the main portal beam
The precast production consists of making 1 special and 2 standard elements per day.
To accomplish this, the following formwork devices have been supplied:
- 2 hydraulic tilting tables 8m x 3,5m
- 2 curved superstructures to cast 3 elements, 1 x 6010mm and 2 x 3390mm
- Removable side-forms and top-ups
On-site, a made to measure scaffold is used to support both the beams which are cast on-site and the prefabricated curved elements which are to be mounted against these beams.
Details of the beams:
- Beam length 20,4m
- Overall width 10,4m
- Height to the underside of the beam 5,3m
The 2 complete scaffold sets of 20,4m’ each consist of:
- 9 standard scaffolds
- 2 adjustable scaffolds
- 4 heavy duty scaffolds which remain standing after stripping, carrying the full load
- Base forms with rubber sealants
- Floor panels and adjustable side panels
- Side-forms, working platforms and trolleys
