Slim TRIO Profile Allows Contractor
to Build on a Very Confined Site


The 51 story residential tower on 1 King Street West in Toronto, Ontario will be a display of engineering achievement along with classic historical design once completed. Resform Construction Ltd. was awarded the contract to construct a 578 ft (176 m) high rise building only 3 ft (1 m) next to the historical 1913 Toronto Dominion Bank. The only viable solution was to use the TRIO Wall Formwork System along with shear wall climbing brackets. Having an overall profile width of 4.7” (12 cm), the TRIO Wall Formwork System provided the optimal solution for working in confined areas. Utilizing a single rigid connecting element called the BFD, the contractor was able to gang TRIO panels together and precisely fly the units into place.

Other systems used on this project included the TRIO Shaft Element, MULTIFLEX Slab Formwork, UNIPORTAL Tables, SB Single Sided Brackets, HD 200 Shoring and the SKYDECK Slab Formwork System. The aluminum SKYDECK system provided Resform with a solution minimizing material storage and handling. With less components than conventional frame systems, Resform was able to cycle more equipment without a crane in less time.
