BEAMDECK and UNIPORTAL Tables Quickly and Safely Form Flat Slabs
For the construction of eight new six story dormitories at the University of Arizona, PERI provided a combination of BEAMDECK and UNIPORTAL shoring systems for the bowtie shaped 8’ flat slab structures.
To achieve a three-day cycle for each 6,000 ft² pour, the perimeter of the 11’ high decks are formed using the UNIPORTAL tables while the interior of the slabs are formed with the BEAMDECK grid beam system.
This combination of shoring systems provides Concrete Structures with high productivity and excellent perimeter safety and eliminates almost all filler areas. Both systems allow the contractor to use their choice of plywood sheathing to achieve a nice finish of the exposed ceilings.
Standard TRIO wall formwork was lined with a 1/8” chamfer board under the form liner to achieve the unique architectural barn-wood finish of the walls. KGF 240 climbing scaffolds provide a safe work platform for the multi-lift walls.
