Better cost-efficiency, reduced risk of accidents and enhanced employee motivation are few benefits of implementing a professional safety concept on site.
Infrastructure development is the need of the hour for the Indian economy, whether be it roads, railways, metro-rail, airports or commercial and residential buildings. Construction of bridges is at the core of any development for roads, railways and metro rail.
Modern bridge construction demands technologies, which are faster, safer and innovative. For example, there are many landmark projects have been built in the past couple of decades that are iconic. One of the latest iconic such construction is Bandra-Worli Sea Link others include Mumbai airport T2 terminal, Delhi T3 terminal, several Metro Projects, Yamuna Expressway, and many more.
National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has constructed six-lane highway over Chambal river. Project includes total 43 Piers for bridge with varying height of 27 metres. The pier size at bottom was 7500mmx2500mm and at top is 7000mmx2000mm (i.e. reduction of 500mm) Semi-circular at both the end. Also, it has limited access to crane as it is over a river.One of the solution providers to this project, PERI India has provided solution with hydraulic climbing system RCS along with VARIO formwork system. Customised solution was provided with adaptor in order to climb the system.
Ensuring high quality materials with perfect quality check will help ensuring the safety of the units in a better way. The principle is always the same, a high standard of safety, combined with high cost effectiveness and easy, safe handling. “Each component of the climbing system units are manufacturing with high quality materials with perfect quality check will ensure the safety of the units. Additional, Paschal special software solution provides the utmost care for the design of the climbing system for the structures. Several executed projects define about the success of Paschal climbing system,” says Manikandan Mahalingam, General Director, PASCHAL Form Work (India) Pvt Ltd.
A simple, unique and bolt free connection technology help customers achieve long-term success and increase the profitability in longer duration. Connections in quick to assemble and spanner fewer scaffolding systems make a unique combination, providing structural strength immediately on assembly and subsequent ultimate force transmission while offering a choice of automatically right – angled or splayed connections with universal safety right from the start. “The all-round scaffolding offers unsurpassed versatility to be used in construction sites, chemical industry, power plants, aircraft, shipyards, event sector, theatres and arenas, says Mithilesh Kumar, Director, Layher Scaffolding Systems Pvt Ltd.Timely completion is another factor, projects can be accomplished by selecting the right formwork system for which the architect, structural team and developer should jointly be involved in analysing. “For durability one need to choose the right material selection in a formwork for example if one need to use aluminium formwork choosing the right aluminium alloy is most important,without compromise in technical parameters is very important in reducing overall SNF cost, flexibility involves using the same SNF for different types of construction applications, says Hari Om, Director, BSL Scaffolding Ltd. Greater cost-efficiency, reduced risk of accidents and enhanced employee motivation, are just some of the advantages of implementing a professional safety concept on site. Investments in tested safety solutions allow workers to concentrate better on their tasks that deliver efficiency at work. “Safety is ‘designed in’ and co-ordinated with the formwork technology systems used and planned to boost productivity and quality. So, work progresses faster, productivity goes up, and the quality of the structure being built is higher. All this, in turn, means savings in the investments,” says Keshab Chopra, Managing Director Doka India and SAARC. Every single work step is crucial at onsite. Motion sequences such as aligning and manoeuvring, engaging and disengaging, lifting and repositioning, all presuppose a high standard of safety. Helping workers stay healthy by bringing them ergonomic solutions – formwork that is easy to use, ergonomic work routines carried out at floor level.
The all-round scaffolding offers unsurpassed versatility to be used in construction sites, chemical industry, power plants, aircraft, shipyards, event sector, theatres and arenas.
