ULMA Solution
The customer, Structure Tech NY, selected ULMA’s CC-4 Drop head panelized shoring system to erect all elevated concrete slabs. The CC-4 Panel is the ideal system for construction of flat slabs with regular geometry. CC-4 improves worker productivity and promotes safety on-site, as the entire system can be installed from the ground. Another great feature of the CC-4 panel system is the reduction of plywood on-site as it is incorporated into the panel, a great feature for construction areas where space is limited.
ULMA’s complete solution package included ALUPROP aluminum post shores to support four working levels of the CC-4 panel system and concrete deck. ALUPROPS were also used to shore the first 3 levels as they provided the client with a wide range of shoring heights. For the re-shoring of the concrete slabs, ULMA’s EP Props were chosen to shore the four levels below the CC-4 panel system. ULMA’s MEGALITE, lightweight formwork panels were used to form, columns, walls, pilasters, elevator core and foundation walls.
