One City Center
MEVA systems working together save time on this inner city job site, and MEVA’s Guided Climbing MGC system makes its North American debut.
Each MGC unit remains attached to the structure even during lifting thanks to its two guiding profiles. The wall formwork is placed on and attached to the platform. It can be retracted for rebar work and for the climbing process. The MGC unit and the wall formwork are lifted as one single unit. The platforms can be equipped with standard frailings and also with a mesh. Ladders and safety cages ensure safe access to the platforms.
