Pilosio flies high with Flydeck

The Flydeck system from Pilosio simplifies and speeds up the assembly of suspended scaffolding and structures more safely.Importantly, because it is an under-bridge suspended system, there is no need to stop bridge traffic or close lanes. The system consists of 25cm or 45cm aluminium or steel lattice girders connected by patented pins and spring pins.

The girders are installed using the Flyrail rail. The cantilevered girders of the Flydeck surface are supported by the Flyrail rail, while the operator arranges the surface and anchors it in full safety.Loading capacity is up to 150kg/m² with tie-rods every 6m² and loading capacity up to 300kg/m² with tie-rods every 4m². The result is a perfectly horizontal plane for workers in any situation where a suspended solution is needed.

Furthermore, with the use of the Flyrail beam for mounting the Flydeck table, work can be undertaken without difficulty and in complete safety. With this solution, Pilosia says that pillars and pier-caps can be encircled and continued in the next span.

Importantly, there is no limitation in width, length or load capacity. The system is modular and uses beams and scaffolding decks of any make, model, shape and size.

    The South African branch of the Italian construction company CMC di Ravenna again teamed up with formwork specialist Pilosio to take advantage of Pilosio's solutions. This time it was for construction of a new bridge in the city of Durban, a project named N2/Cornubia Interchange. The overpass will streamline traffic by linking the Umhlanga industrial zone with the Cornubia new development area Tongat. Cornubia is a multibillion rand integrated settlement near Umhlanga, north of Durban, in KwaZulu Natal,

    Doka’s formwork expertise is currently in demand during the construction of one of the busiest motorway viaducts in Germany. The 400m six-lane Lahntal Bridge in Limburg dates from the early 1960s. Every day about 100,000 vehicles cross the bridge that spans the valley of the River Lahn. But traffic loads have increased sharply, so a new bridge is being built sited just a few metres west of the old viaduct. The new Lahntal viaduct will measure a massive 43.5m in width, enabling eight lanes plus hard shoul
