Site manager for Aspect Constructions, Brendan Ewings, praises the speed and efficiency of using ENKOFLEX while working on the Walcott St Apartment Project.
“The H20 timber brearer is light, strong and true. My boys really enjoyed using them. Their strength allowed us to use larger quickstage bays in the double-volume void and perimeter areas, meaning we used fewer materials, and therefore went faster.”
ENKOFLEX is the solution of choice for Michael Pantic, Project Manager for CS Developments, at his multi-storey apartment project in The Gap.
“We have erected approximately 1,200m2 in less than 400 man-hours and expect even greater labour savings when we strip. The clear spans under the deck also make moving gear around the site so much easier. We have roughly 4,000m2 all up and are looking forward to continued productivity improvements on the structure.”
What is ENKOFLEX?
ENKOFLEX is a Horizontal Formwork system designed for the construction of any type of slab, whether solid or lightened.
The basic components of the system are the H20 beams, heads, Plywood and shoring system. As the ENKOFLEX system is comprised of independent beam, it is highly versatile, enabling it to suitably adapt to irregular slabs.
It is the ideal system for infillings and areas that are not covered with other formwork systems.
Some of the features, advantages and benefits of ENKOFLEX are:
- This formwork system is simple, and it is easy to assemble and understand.
- Only a few different components are required to frame the formwork.
- As it can be used with any type of board and installed without leaving spaces between the sheets, this formwork is appropriate for any concrete surface finish requirements.
- Its great versatility permits framing different types of slab at different heights based on the configuration of the grid of beams and the shoring used.
- Fewer Components = Faster Framing, Stiping and Moving = Labour Savings.
