Transforming Peru’s Infrastructure Using Formwork on Canal Construction
EFCO Forming & Shoring Solutions
Forming and Shoring Equipment for Concrete Construction
Pioneering Sustainable Infrastructure in Peru
In Peru, Construcción y Administración SAC (CASA) is leading the development of the San Carlos and San Ildefonso Canals, an essential infrastructure project to enhance water management and irrigation across the region. Stretching 12 kilometers, these canals are designed to boost agricultural productivity, mitigate flooding risks, and deliver lasting benefits to local communities. Through the use of innovative construction techniques and durable materials, CASA is raising the bar for sustainable infrastructure in the area.
Construcción y Administración SAC (CASA) Redefined Efficiency with Advanced Wall Construction Methods
EFCO’s PLATE GIRDER? and the SUPER STUD? Traveler systems provided the advanced formwork solutions needed to meet the demands. These systems were pivotal in constructing the canals’ 3.6m x 4.8m (12′ x 16′) walls with precision and durability, addressing technical and economic challenges. While the panels were initially positioned using cranes, the SUPER STUD Traveler system streamlined subsequent movements, minimizing crane dependency. This innovative approach enabled CASA’s eight-person crew to achieve five-hour cycle times and complete over 2,500 pours with impressive efficiency.
Cost-Effective Solutions for Streamlined Construction
By choosing EFCO, CASA significantly reduced costs and streamlined operations. While competitor systems required up to 48 ties per wall, EFCO’s design reduced this to just eight, cutting repair expenses from $65 to $11 per wall. The Traveler system further contributed to cost savings by eliminating the need for expensive hourly crane rentals, offering a sustainable and practical solution.
Unmatched Support for Exceptional Results
Throughout the project, EFCO’s unwavering commitment to super service ensured CASA had the resources and support needed to succeed. From the design phase to on-site implementation, EFCO provided expert guidance that enhanced efficiency and safety. This collaboration empowered CASA to achieve the lowest in-place concrete cost while delivering a project of exceptional quality and long-term value.
Why Construcción y Administración SAC (CASA) Chose EFCO
CASA’s decision to partner with EFCO was driven by the company’s proven ability to deliver innovative, cost-effective solutions that align with the project’s requirements. EFCO’s PLATE GIRDER? and Traveler systems allowed CASA to transition from traditional wooden formwork to durable, reusable all-steel systems, significantly improving efficiency and reducing costs.
The success of the San Carlos and San Ildefonso Canals project has solidified CASA’s confidence in EFCO, leading to continued collaboration on other projects, including bridge construction. This partnership highlights EFCO’s unwavering commitment to quality, innovation, integrity, and super service, helping contractors achieve exceptional results and the lowest in-place concrete cost.
