PROJECT DATA

Bracing High and Safely

Project: New firefighter school in Würzburg, Germany

Owner: Bavarian State Building Authority, Würzburg

Contractor: Riedel Bau GmbH & Co. KG., Schweinfurt, Germany

MEVA System: Heavy-duty braces Triplex

Formwork Engineering: MEVA Formwork Systems, Stuttgart branch

Project

Triplex Heavy-duty braces break the 20 m (65 ft) barrier

A new hall is being built for Bavaria’s Firefighting School to meet modern demands in firefighter training – including a 70 x 40 x 30 m (230 x 130 x 98 ft) training hall, a fire simulation facility and a new vehicle hall.
Before the slabs and side walls are completed, the 21 m high walls need to be braced immediately after the pour and safeguarded against high wind loads. This is where the heavy- duty braces Triplex come in.

Triplex is a statically effective brace for formwork higher than 6 m. It does the same on finished wall slabs. Its lengths are flexibly combined to the height required, in this case to beyond 20 m (65 ft).

South Canal Bridge, Ontario: With no crane possible at busy Hwy 400, MevaLite handles the job with ease

One of Ontario’s busiest transportation corridors, Highway 400, began a major expansion project through Kings Township in late 2016. This $79.3 million dollar (CAD) project includes the widening of the highway from three to six lanes in each direction for a two mile stretch and also entails safer on and off ramps, the expansion and realignment of culverts, and the replacement of two bridges − one of them the South Canal Bridge.
