Steel Girder Formwork
The strong and durable self-spanning steel formwork
The strong system allows
- Faster pour rates because of its high design pressure rating – up to 1,500 psf
- All standard girder forms are the same depth, which greatly reduces or eliminates shimming joints
- Fast cycling – Steel Girder forms are modular, can be ganged and picked in large sections
- Large pick size – crane capacity is only limiting factor
The design feature allows
- Span large distances without any additional support or shoring
- Eliminates Shoring: Girder Forms can be used to both form concrete and support concrete loads or structures such as bridge pier caps
- No walers required - Designed and built with 3 Girder bolting block holes
- Engineered solutions based on over 40 years from an award winning engineering department
Save time in the details
- Large tie spacing – a standard 12’ wide Girder form can provide 96 sq. ft. per tie (48 sq. ft. per side)
- Lower finishing costs – large panels equals less joints to rub and less finishing costs
- Easy ability to be combined with custom wood or steel formwork

The Springfield Interchange is in Fairfax County, Virginia, 10 miles from Washington, D.C. A daily average of about 430,000 vehicles pass through the Springfield Interchange, where I-95, I-395 and I-495 come together. To improve traffic flow, the Virginia Department of Transportation rebuilt the interchange to make it safer for commuters and long-distance travelers. This improvement project took 8 years to complete. The project consisted of building more than 50 bridges and widening I-95 to 24 lanes between the Beltway and Franconia Road.
