| Construction is underway on Gracemere's long-awaited $30 million shopping centre in Rockhampton by the McConaghy Group and the Branch Manager at RMD Rockhampton is very happy about it because he's won a 3,800m2 Alshor Plus/Airodek section of the project.
At first the workers were slow to assemble the Airodek on Alshor Plus because they were working on dirt and the heights of the jacks had to be adjusted for each leg. They couldn't pre-set the jacks as is usually done, so a little bit of extra time was required for their adjustment.
The six workers on the site were from Sydney and have used Airodek on props before, but not on Alshor Plus, but they soon got the hang of it and their speed of erecting Alshor Plus increased significantly
For example to compare it to a frames, Alshor Plus is a lot faster, it was determined that 2 workers can assemble 100m2 a day with LVL and ply at 1 frame high, however with Alshor Plus they are doing about the same rate at 4.2 to 5.1m high. |
