A crew of just two men working from the ground can easily erect several thousand square feet of framing per day. This ground based approach eliminates fall hazards normally associated with framing erection.

Erection Process

  • Secure the first few Post Shores with tripods to establish a "box."
  • Position a Main Beam in the Drophead.
  • Pickup the opposite end of the Main Beam with a Post Shore and raise into position.
  • Once a series of Main Beams are erected, begin installing the Secondary Beams.
  • Once sufficient framing is erected, plywood and bracing are installed to achieve a "pour-ready" system.
Framing Interruptions
  • Framing interruptions (i.e. columns, walls, beams, drop panels, etc.) can be achieved simply by changing the direction of the Main and Secondary Beams. This eliminates the need for multiple length members.
  • Filler conditions are typically accommodated with the standard length aluminum members. However, HV's specially designed Main Beam allows for 4x4's to be substituted for Secondary Beams.
  • Slopes and Camber are easily accommodated due to HV's simple span system.
