Abstract

A formwork system includes (a) a wallform panel for forming a wall portion; and (b) at least one brace assembly including a pair of vertically spaced apart props pivotably connected to the wallform panel for pivoting of the brace assembly relative to the wallform panel between a storage position, in which the brace assembly lies adjacent the wallform panel, and a deployed position, in which the brace assembly projects from the wallform panel for anchoring the props to a ground surface through a common base plate connected to each prop.

Abstract

A climbing system for multi-level building construction includes (a) a plurality of vertical guides mountable to a building structure under construction; (b) a climbing unit coupled to the vertical guides for guided vertical translation of the climbing unit along an exterior of the building structure and; (c) one or more horizontal guides mounted to the climbing unit; and (d) an extendible platform supported by the horizontal guides for guided translation of the extendible platform along a horizontal axis extending generally perpendicular to the building structure. The extendible platform is translatable along the horizontal axis between a retracted position, in which the extendible platform is generally retracted into the climbing unit and clear of the building structure to permit interference-free vertical translation of the climbing unit, and an advanced position, in which the extendible platform projects horizontally from the climbing unit to the building structure for covering a gap therebetween.
