Moulds and scaffolding for railway platforms

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
