COVER STORY
CASE STUDY

With the aid of the SCS Climbing System for non-tied wall formwork, it was possible to transfer the loads resulting from the fresh concrete
pressure of the second concreting section through climbing ties and into the previous concreting section via the brackets

On account of the subterranean position up against the ground earth, it was not possible to use end-to-end formwork ties when
concreting the retaining walls. For this reason, a single-sided formwork solution was required.
