\u00b7 <\/span>Provide the best economic solution which saves time and money.<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>Full detailed load calculations and specific lifting points.<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>Flexible adaptation to high loads and\nconsidering the sensitive situation to avoid cracks for the existed slabs\nduring the lifting process.<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>Providing safe working areas and smooth access\nto all areas of operations by following all safety requirements during the\nstages of the work.<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>Preparing a detailed work methodology that\nrepresents the work steps according to the bridge drawings and loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n In the shopping center project, a deflection of\n20 cm occurred for the slabs on two floors due to premature removal of formwork\nand non-casting of the boring strip. 300-tons is the overall weight of each\ndeflected slab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n Solution was applied in three phases:<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>By using the Shorbrace system under each\ndeflected slab, and in addition to one more floor underneath. We placed the\nsystem spacing and grid sizes according to detailed loads calculations and\napproved drawings by consultant.<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>In between the back propping system, we\ninstalled a steel structure system consisting of hot-rolled sections and\nassembled as a frame system.<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>It helped as additional support for the slab as\nwell as a lifting points to support the heavy lifting jacks and provide forces\nequilibrium.<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>According to our calculations and design, we\nneeded 24 lifting points using 20 tons capacity jacks.<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>To begin the process of lifting the 1st<\/sup>\nslab, we placed each jack at its own lifting point on the steel structure\nsupport system, then carefully began the lifting and blocking process.<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>We repeated the same process continuously until\nwe reached the desired height, which returned the deflected slab to its correct\nposition. It was necessary to monitor the edge of the slab to ensure that\nnothing more than hairline cracks occurred.<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>When we finished lifting the 1st<\/sup>\nslab, we waited for the main contractor to pour the boring stripe in addition\nto the consultant’s recommended days for the concrete to reach the appropriate\nstrength.<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>After that, we lift the slab to a very slight\nheight, so that we can remove the supports and blocks that were placed there.\nAlso, the steel structure and the back propping of the 1st<\/sup> slab were\nremoved as well.<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>Again, for the 2nd<\/sup> slab, we repeated\nthe exact same mentioned process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \u00b7 <\/span>Steel Structure Support System<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>Shorbrace System (As Back Propping)<\/p>\n \u00b7 <\/span>Hydraulic Lifting Jacks<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n{“slider”:”28″,”temp-title”:”Lifting Deflected Slab #28″,”title”:””}\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-49492","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ft-eg.com\/formwork\/scaffolding\/en\/solutions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/49492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ft-eg.com\/formwork\/scaffolding\/en\/solutions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ft-eg.com\/formwork\/scaffolding\/en\/solutions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ft-eg.com\/formwork\/scaffolding\/en\/solutions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ft-eg.com\/formwork\/scaffolding\/en\/solutions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=49492"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/ft-eg.com\/formwork\/scaffolding\/en\/solutions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/49492\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":49926,"href":"https:\/\/ft-eg.com\/formwork\/scaffolding\/en\/solutions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/49492\/revisions\/49926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ft-eg.com\/formwork\/scaffolding\/en\/solutions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=49492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Engineering Concept:<\/h2>\n
