ULMA Solution
For the areas that could not be formed with ULMA standard parts, traditional wooden moulds were used.
VERTICAL FORMWORK
- Straight and curved ENKOFORM V-100: The straight formwork panels were assembled by workers trained by technical staff from ULMA Argentina. Curved panel halves were assembled by ULMA in its Argentinean warehouse and then joined on site. The exact curvature was obtained by assembling straight ENKOFORM panels and placing curved ribs on them for the fixing of 12 mm thick phenolic plywood panels (1.22 x 2.44 m) provided by the customer.
CLIMBING SYSTEM
- CF-170 brackets for the perimeter: The climbing brackets with 3 levels of platforms covered the 66 m long perimeter and provided high safety for the workers.
