Bridge formwork ParaTop
The bridge overhang bracket formwork system for steel-composite and pre-cast concrete bridges
For both steel-composite and pre-cast concrete superstructures
thanks to modular system concept
Highly versatile, as it
- can be fixed to either concrete or steel bridge girders (2 separate types of insert-shoe)
- can easily be adapted to different cross-sections of cantilever slab with components from the modular Top 50 “kit”
- does not collide with stiffening plates or girder studs. Any bracket spacing can be selected within the permitted influence width
Cost-cutting
as all work is carried out from the superstructure
Less equipment and erection-work needed, as
- there are no platforms or scaffolds beneath the superstructure, and formwork set-up & alignment, reinforcing, pouring and stripping are all done only from above
- the large influence width of the bracket mean there are fewer brackets to install, adjust and remove
- formwork removal is made easy by the hard chrome-plated insert-cones, with no need for mounting-sleeves
Fast construction progress
assured by optimized system design
Saves time, as
- the assembly sequence is easy to understand, with only three ParaTop system components required (insert-shoe, insert-channel, insert-cone)
- erection and dismantling times are shortened because there are less brackets / hangers to install and it is possible to easily gang multiple brackets to set and strip in units.
- hanging the overhang bracket formwork into place takes less crane-time – there is no need to laboriously thread in tie-rods, as the overhang brackets are supported from insert-shoes that are installed in advance.
