FORMWORK- Special Applications 
|
 More than 2 miles (3.22 km) of reinforced
concrete track bed was formed with a custom system engineered & furnished by
SCI.
Special lengths of SCI's
standard Aluminum Strongbacks and Aluminum Stringers, combined with custom FRP panels,
were all fabricated & assembled into 35' (10.67m) long rolling form units. The roller
units also served as jacks that allowed the forms to be raised and lowered as required
|
|
The 36" (.91 m) FRP
panels were used to form the track bed side walls. Custom forms for ventilation ducts, oil
drains, air & lubrication reels, collection boxes, etc. were all suspended from the
"frame" of the form
structure by means of special threaded rods, bolts, nuts, etc.

 The formwork system for this project
undoubtedly proves the great versatility and economics of SCI's Aluminum Formwork products
and equipment. SCI's client experienced a saving of more than 50% over other forming
methods.

 SCI's 10KLeg (4,536kg) Falsework
Equipment, SCI's 6.5" (165mm) Aluminum Joists & SCI's Custom Engineered Trusses
were used to form this very difficult cast-in-place reinforced concrete stair structure at
a Metro North commuter railroad station in the Northeast United States. It was very
critical that no element of the formwork/ falsework system extended beyond the edge of the
station platform into the active track area. SCI also designed & furnished all of the
concrete accessories, architectural feature strips, etc. |

 Custom Engineered
Formwork & Falsework designed by SCI lead to the successful completion of this
difficult sludge tank project. |
|
 Because of the steep angle of tank bottom,
special truss type formwork was used and was supported on SCI's 10K (4,536 kg) Falsework
System. Formwork & Falsework equipment were gang assembled at the site and placed by
means of a crane |

 View of the completed sludge tank. Note the very complex design of this
structure's conical shaped bottom. |
|
 A custom engineered
and manufactured Formwork & Falsework system for this sludge storage tank was very
complicated because of the 45 degree sloping tank bottom slab. |
