Project: Barwa Commercial Avenue, Qatar
Streif Baulogistik has sold its proprietary formwork systems StreifLight and
StreifTelos to the "Barwa Commercial Avenue" project in Qatar. Just outside the
capital of Doha, Commercial Avenue will feature the ultimate in shopping malls.
Streif Baulogistik will also handle key services for the client on site,
including the provision of topping-out foremen. The company convinced with its
technical consulting expertise even in the negotiation phase: the engineers had
developed a shuttle carriage for ceiling joist tables, which meant that entire
components could be moved and crucial time saved. The engineers further devised
a pre-assembled stair formwork system which allows stairs and landings to be
pre-assemble in one piece on site. These then merely need to be put in place by
crane. A further development involved a new screw jack U-head for the Pafili
load towers used in the project. These are used to fix the capping pieces to the
tower without accessories, so that the wooden beams cannot shift. All these
innovations reduce the setup and dismantling work and provide the client with
key time and cost advantages.
