Parking In Long Island City, New York, USA

Mar 05, 2025
In the centre of Long Island City, New York, there is a six-storey car park complex. The concrete structure features an access ramp, loading docks for heavy vehicles, a cantilevered section, rooftop solar panels and an open-air parking area. Overall, the project covers approximately 32,700 m², with free heights ranging from 6.7 to 12 metres.

Falsework and formwork solutions such as MEGAFRAME, MEGALITE, ENKOFLEX, and RKS were used for their responsiveness to the project’s various requirements.

Designed in imperial measurements and adapted to the specific characteristics of the development, ULMA supplied all equipment in a timely manner, in line with the requirements of each construction phase.

MEGAFRAME falsework and ALUPROP towers, used to support slabs at great heights, have been configured with bracing frames to ensure alignment, stability, and correct load distribution throughout the structure. The ENKOFLEX system was used for slab formwork, offering a flexible solution ideal for variable geometries. The combination of both systems enabled the required heights to be reached safely and efficiently.

For the core walls and columns, MEGALITE modular formwork was used, a lightweight and robust option that facilitates work on vertical elements and transition areas.

Given the complexity of the structure, which incorporates ramps and different levels of shoring, material supply was carefully planned in line with the needs of each phase, optimising both time and resourcesAdditionally, the RKS climbing system enabled the lifting of formwork panels without dismantling the wall structure, providing precision and continuity to the construction process.
