Our involvement in the Industrial Ring Road on the southern side of
Bangkok is simultaneously small and large. Small when seen against the
total budget of the project, but big if one realizes that our company
provides
virtually all form work and a good deal of the necessary
falseworks for the project. Because the project largely uses an in-situ
method of concrete placement, with single pours of up to 650 ton during
one session, high
quality form- and falseworks are of utmost importance.
The project consists of the construction of 12 km of elevated highway, 4
to 12 lanes wide, and two bridges, each about 700m long over the Chao
Praya River.
Formwork ranges from simple forms for foundation work to 14 meter high
V-parts mounted on columns of more than 15 meter high. In between Alpi SEA
Co. Ltd designed, manufactured and supplied launching girders,
forms and
form support works for the columns, the column heads and the integrated
crossbeam-crosshead-deck sections. On site Alpi SEA Co. Ltd provides
training and technical assistance to the specialized crews of the
principal contractors to ensure proper erection/assembly and subsequent
opening and striking of its equipment. As already stated concreting work
is carried out in-situ. Alpi SEA Co. Ltd. is providing formwork that
leaves
a finishing requiring no additional touch up work.
In total we supplied more than 2,000 tons of form- and falseworks to
Taisei Corp, Nishimatsu, NKK & Sino Thai Engineering Joint Venture TNNS J.V
