ULMA Solution
The HWS Hydraulic Windshield System secures works at the slab edge against falls from height as well as against possible adverse weather conditions. It is lifted with a mobile hydraulic system.
Different screen configurations (with or without platforms) provide storage space, access and ease the material transfer to different levels by scaffolding ladders.
The walls and columns were formed with MEGAFORM and MEGALITE. These modular formwork systems include a wide range of panel sizes in imperial measurements adjustable to diverse geometries.
The slabs were built with large formwork tables supported on columns.
