Formwork and Falsework for Power Plant Construction

Whether it’s providing shoring to support the removal of a gantry crane at a nuclear plant in Switzerland, or temporary works for a range of superstructure and substructure works within in the UK, Altrad RMD Kwikform has a wealth of experience and expertise in temporary works solutions for the power and energy sector.

Formwork systems will need to take into account considerations such as structural tolerances and concrete mixture. Nevertheless, contractors need systems that enable them to construct facilities fast, safely and cost-effectively. Altrad RMD Kwikform’s engineers will work with you to understand considerations such as topographic conditions, concrete stipulations and project timings, offering solutions that can help overcome all these challenges.

What our customers think

“Altrad RMD Kwikform was quickly identified as the most suitable provider and they delivered a helpful and professional service. They also supplied expertise to work alongside us to maintain the high standards of health and safety required for the project.” Rolf Oesch, VSL Heavy Lifting Project Manager for Gantry Crane

Factors to consider when specifying
a power construction project

Safety should be a top priority. 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.
Concrete mixes in power plants vary when compared with other civil engineering projects, causing differing pressures on formwork and shoring. As such, you need a heavy-duty solution that can withstand high loads and pressures.
The complex geometries of structures in the power and energy sector, such as cooling towers, require formwork that can be assembled into concave shapes for concrete pours, while also withstanding high loads.
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 power and energy project.
With many power plants government contracts, BIM compliance is expected. We can build BIM-compliant models that contractors can load onto their own systems - from designs directly into BIM packages such as Revit, or through the automation and converting 3D AutoCAD models.
