Bridge & Viaduct Formwork

Pier, pier-cap and deck formwork; hanging systems and cantilever working platforms.

Bridge and viaduct formwork operates at height and often in hard-to-reach positions. The working platform and the hanging system must therefore be engineered products just as much as the formwork itself.

Systems we manufacture

Bridge pier formwork — circular, rectangular and bespoke sections
Pier cap formwork and its supporting brackets
Viaduct deck formwork and hanging systems
Abutment and foundation formwork
Cantilever working platforms and access ladders
Box girder internal and external formwork

Safety at height

Every formwork set is delivered with working platforms, double guardrails, toe boards and harness anchor points. Access is provided by an integrated ladder or a caged ladder.

Anchorage calculations for hanging and cantilever components account for the total supported load and wind load. Assembly and dismantling sequences are delivered in writing together with the shop drawings.

Project fit

Bridge formwork is almost never standard. Pier section, cap geometry and deck cross-section vary from project to project. We therefore treat each job on its own drawings and, where necessary, carry out trial assembly at our facility.
