GRP Permanent Formwork – Offsite Installation with Permadec
Permadec recently supported a major bridge project by delivering a lightweight GRP permanent formwork system that was installed directly onto beams offsite at the precast yard.
Once the beams were delivered to site, each arrived with the formwork already installed — eliminating the need for separate deck formwork installation onsite. This reduced cranage requirements to just one lift per beam, and zero lifts for the formwork itself.
This streamlined method is part of Permadec’s mission to improve safety, speed, and program efficiency across major infrastructure projects.
Key Benefits Delivered:
- ✅ Up to 70% lighter than traditional precast options
- ✅ Offsite installation reduces time spent working at height
- ✅ Less onsite labour, equipment, and crane hours
- ✅ Faster concrete pours and project delivery
Whether installed onsite or offsite, Permadec offers a durable, modular, and efficient permanent formwork system for civil and infrastructure projects.
