THE SHORING TOWER WITH BUILT-IN SAFETY FEATURES

TourEchaf | The shoring tower with built-in safety features

Changes in French and European tower regulations have led Alphi to focus on a new shoring tower for construction work. The TourEchaf tower is innovative in its safety and ease of use, and its lightweight components. Its compatibility with scaffolding elements means that cross-bracing, connections and decking between towers can easily be created.

REGULATIONS AND STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO SHORING The transposition of the new European directives by the Decree of 1 September 2004 did not result in the revocation of Article 218 concerning shoring towers in the decree of 8 January 1965. This means that, for the time being, there are no explicit requirements in terms of training, design justification and checking of shoring systems as set out in the Decree of 1 September 2004 or the Order of December 2004 for scaffolding. The Decree of 8 January 1965 is still in force for shoring. TOURECHAF IS MANUFACTURED IN FRANCE IN COMPLIANCE WITH NF...

TourEchaf RECOMMENDATIONS EQUIPMENT INSPECTION Before starting assembly: check that the equipment is in good condition, remove any equipment that is in a doubtful condition (twisted, crushed, detached components, etc.), for towers, reject any parts from other shoring systems. Parts from different sources must not be combined. PREFER PERMANENT COLLECTIVE PROTECTION When designing the assembly and disassembly of the shoring and formwork, collective protection must be preferred. If, under certain circumstances, it cannot be completely or partially set up, individual protection must be provided...

DISTRIBUTION ON THE GROUND - FOUNDATION Loading on concrete slab Loading on a concrete slab generally requires no special preparation. If the surface condition is irregular, then a wooden plank must be inserted between the base and the concrete. It may be necessary to undershore the lower floors if they are unable to support the descending loads. Excessive chock stacking Loading on natural ground On natural ground, it is essential to provide load distribution on the ground, according to its nature and the intensity of the load. Resting on a hollow body CAUTION: Always avoid resting the...
