Garland Avenue Parking Garage, Fayetteville, Arkansas
New GARAGEDECK System for Beam and Slab Parking Garages
The 444,000 ft² Garland Avenue Parking Garage is located at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and provides 1,516 parking spaces and retail space on the ground level.
HARCON Forming selected PERI’s new GARAGEDECK system for this beam and slab post-tensioned parking structure. GARAGEDECK uses all standard rentable components and the units are assembled into beam tables and slab tables to be reused from pour to pour.
Two 30’ long beam tables form the 14” x 36” x 60’ PT beams. The 8’ x 18’ slab tables span from ALUBEAM stringers on adjacent beam tables. This eliminates the need for stringers and shores at the middle of the bays as is required on some competitors’ systems. The entire load of a typical 20’x 60’ bay is carried by 16 MULTIPROP shores on each beam table.
A trolley or forklift supports the beam table as the MULTIPROPs are hinged up so that the unit can be stripped and moved intact. After the beam tables are repositioned, the eight slab tables in a typical bay are stripped. Approximately 4,000 ft² of formwork is stripped, moved and reset each day using a small crew. HARCON has achieved a four day pour cycle.

“I really enjoy working the GARAGEDECK system. It is great to use on the parking deck, and is very clean and easy to use with a minimal number of parts. PERI’s response to job conditions has been excellent.”
