Slab Support System

The slab support system is designed to support a large combination of grid sizes for maximum reusability of formwork & economy. Drophead offers the facility for early striking of the formwork. The wedge plate on the drophead can be conveniently struck so that the drophead remains in position to support the slab, but the decking beams can be dismantled & assembled on next location enabling optimum utilisation of the formwork.

The Decking Beams span between Dropheads or between Beams, they can be very convenient during constructions with waffle or trough forms. During such application, the beams run in one direction only & they are located in position by In Fill Beams. The standards are spaced transversely to ledgers. Steel panels or strips of plywood are then bolted to the top of the Beams through the bolting holes. The waffle or trough forms are then placed over the Beams in position

The decking in fill beams span between the main decking beams or between drop heads, to support the steel panels or plywood.
