  • Abstract:
    Shoring towers are the common formwork solution for high-clearance construction, but there are not many documented cases of extremely high towers. This paper reports on a project in which 60-m-(200-ft-) high shoring towers were used for slab formwork. The paper describes the design and construction of the formwork, with a focus on aspects unique to high multitier towers. The various considerations made are presented, and data and information are provided that may assist practitioners facing similar engineering undertakings. Special attention is given to the organization of the work, in light of the scarcity of data pertaining to shoring towers of such heights. Measured assembly and disassembly work inputs are presented and analyzed, and the validity of a model to predict work inputs in multitier tower erection is examined.
