Combination of RCS Systems Provides Unique Solution to Project
The upper system is a traditional RCS Protection panel configuration that provides a safe and efficient platform for the upper construction levels for the contractor to rapidly form the spandrel beam with SKYDECK.
The contractor is very happy about this system since the workers don’t realize what level they are working on, it also keeps the wind and weather at bay, and prevents building material from falling off the building. This is extremely important since pedestrians and traffic are exposed by bordered streets and walkways. The RCS Formwork scaffold and upper RCS Protection panel systems are rapidly climbed by crane.
The lower system was reconfigured with standard components to provide fully enclosed 4’ working platforms around the perimeter for the masonry contractor to lay brick and for the glass contractor to install the windows.
The lower RCS system is climbed with hydraulics, allowing for an independent construction schedule that maximizes productivity.
To form the primary 25’ x 40’ (7.6 m x 12 m) core with 12” (30.5 cm) thick walls, and a 10’-8” (3.3 m) typical lift height, which will house three elevators and two stairs, a combination of RCS C and internal platforms offer the perfect solution. With these combinations, the contractor maintains a four day cycle.

It makes no difference what level we are currently working on. With the RCS protective panel we are able to place the SKYDECK safely all the way to the edge of the building without having our men tied down on safety
lines. On this particular job we also have a RCS system that allows the masonry workers to place the bricks on the facade of the building on working platforms. This enables to work on a different work speed than what we are on the upper levels.
