Formed Finish Not a Structural Concern
Concrete Foundations Association (CFA)
The Concrete Foundations Association explains the references supporting the decisions to form cast-in-place concrete with any material and why aluminum is not a structural concern when used as the form.
Lines formed by the bubbling and subsequent movement of hydrogen at the interface of new, untreated aluminum forms and concrete prior to initial set are commonly misunderstood as cracks. This wall is more than fifteen years old and exposed throughout its duration with no protective coating. It is a yard wall formed for the sole purpose of pre-treating new aluminum forms, a process they no longer use due to manufacturer pre-treatments.

Formwork Allows Bridge to be Concreted in One Pour
A 91-ft.-long, 19-ft.-wide bridge had to be concreted in one pour to ensure the structure would act as a portal frame
The curvature of the bridge and the abutments being at different levels presented a special challenge for the Aalen-based contractor, Stark. A task that was accomplished very well with NOEtop wall formwork.

Rebuilding the Smith House After Hurricane Sandy
On October 29, 2012 Hurricane Sandy battered the Jersey Shore area in New Jersey. Susan and Walter Smith’s 1953 bungalow was located in one of the hardest hit areas and it took them three weeks just to get back to their house to see the damage.
The top floor of the house is where the master bedroom is located. Three steel containers were lifted into position to form the bedroom walls. The doors at either end can be opened to view the ocean and allow breezes to flow through.

A New Bridge for the St. Croix River
Engineers and contractors collaborate to build a high-tech bridge.
The new St. Croix River crossing between Minnesota and Wisconsin near Stillwater is an “extra-dosed precast segmental” structural concrete bridge. Shown here are the first three 180 ton segments on either side of the pier, held in place by post-tensioned tendons. The blue device is called a “segment lifter” and it also supports a working platform on the edge of the segment that iron-workers use to do the cable tensioning.

The Expansion of the Panama Canal: Completion Now Within Reach
With the flooding of a canal section in June 2015, tests have begun in readiness for the scheduled opening of the expansion project in 10 months time.
Approximately 10 months before the scheduled opening, the first test sections of the expanded Panama Canal were flooded. For PERI, this also means that the mega project will therefore be completed soon.
