Vassar Brothers Hospital, New York, USA

In a short construction period of only three months, the carcass of this hospital expansion had to be manufactured. The concrete design is chosen to fit the building into the existing open space at the hospital.

SKYDECK is being used for a slab area of 52,000 ft² (4,830 m²). The ceiling heights varied between 12''-6“ (3.81 m) and 16'' (4.88 m).

The contractor used SKYDECK for the first time. With its logical assembly process and the easy handling of the lightweight elements, time and cost savings can be achieved.

A great part of this success is founded in the MULTIPROP system. The MULTIPROPs can be used as single props or in combination with MRK frames as towers or tables. In fact the combination of SKYDECK and MULTIPROP enables the contractor to strip and reshore the slabs with a much smaller crew as usual.
