Formwork, falsework and shoring solutions for oil and gas facilities

For oil and gas projects the diversity of formwork and falsework requirements is enormous. From building new oil or LNG circular tanks, to temporarily supporting or casting new bases for oil rigs, Altrad RMD has extensive knowledge and experience in providing solutions across a breadth of projects in this industry.

The vast height and width of concrete structures involved in oil and gas construction often requires formwork solutions that can withstand large pressures, particularly if short cycle times are required. We have engineered systems that can withstand these heavy pressures, and can even create bespoke solutions where required.

Additionally, the requirements to support extremely heavy structural components while being positioned on site has involved Altrad RMD supplying many innovative solutions using our standard shoring product range, especially the heavy-duty products such as Megashor and Rapidshor.

What our customers think

“Altrad RMD have always understood the specific requirements of our offshore projects and have provided solutions that are safe and very effective.” Steven Gray – Sparrows Group

Factors to consider when specifying
an Oil or Gas project

Safety is a top priority. All Altrad RMD schemes are designed by experts with extensive experience of our equipment. In addition, we can assist on-site with pre-assembly, installation and on-going checks around formwork and shoring systems, helping to ensure the highest standards of health and safety at all times.
Projects in the oil and gas sector tend to present unique challenges. Having specialised and experienced temporary works engineering experts will help deliver many advantages to each project.
Concrete mixes in oil and gas sector can vary when compared with other civil engineering projects, causing increased pressures on formwork and shoring. As such, you need a heavy-duty solution that can withstand high loads and pressures.
BIM and 3D software can help bring projects to life. Technology-driven engineering practices and solutions can help support the design, process and method of construction for your oil or gas project.
With many oil and gas sector contracts, BIM compliance is expected. We can build BIM-compliant models that contractors can load into their own systems - from designs directly into BIM packages such as Revit, or through the automation and converting 3D AutoCAD models.
