Product catalog summary
Introduction
The Mills Tour shoring system is a prominent solution in France for civil engineering and public works. It is designed to construct self-supporting shoring towers that effectively transmit vertical loads to the ground. The system is characterized by its modular units, telescopic levels, and lightweight components, ensuring high performance and user-friendliness.
Assembly Process
The assembly involves progressively fitting ladders and scaffold planks to build the tower. Essential steps include verifying ground load distribution, ensuring a level base, and maintaining tower stability. Dismantling is performed in the reverse order of assembly.
Tower Configuration
The system offers configurations with MT 65 and MT 100 models, each supporting different load capacities and spacing options. Fine height adjustments are possible using screw jacks and adjustable heads.
Specifications and Load Capacity
Components are rigorously tested for strength and load capacity, with MT 65 supporting up to 6.5 tonnes and MT 100 up to 10 tonnes. Detailed specifications include measurements and material properties for standards, frames, and braces.
Special Applications
Features include telescopic adjustments, multi-position brackets for access, and stackable towers for easy assembly and reuse. The system is adaptable for various engineering projects, such as viaducts and airport terminals.
Components
The document details specifications for components like fixed height standards, screw jacks, base ledgers, and diagonal braces, including dimensions, codes, and weights.
Recommendations
Emphasis is placed on stability against wind loads, proper assembly techniques, and using additional frames or braces for greater loads. The NOEMI software is available for designing shoring systems and producing bills of materials.
Overview
This document provides comprehensive specifications, procedures, and recommendations for the Mills Tour shoring system used in civil engineering works. It includes descriptions of components, their dimensions, weights, and codes, as well as guidelines for assembly, safety, and load distribution.
Specifications
  • Components: Lists various components such as base plates, connectors, telescopic standards, frames, scaffold planks, and accessories, each with specific dimensions, weights, and product codes.
  • Materials: Components are made of galvanized, high-performance steel.
  • Load Capacity: Maximum load for the shoring system is specified as 800 kg.
Procedures
  • Assembly Recommendations: Ensure all components are in good condition and only use Mills-manufactured parts. Prioritize collective safety measures and use individual fall-arrest equipment if necessary.
  • Shoring Removal: Lower adjustable heads uniformly to prevent destabilization.
  • Formwork Calculations: Carefully consider load distribution, especially when beams bear on multiple points.
Standards and Recommendations
  • Stability Checks: Verify stability during assembly, dismantling, and before pouring concrete.
  • Load Distribution: Proper load distribution is crucial, especially on uneven surfaces like earth or concrete slabs.
  • Verification: Ensure the downward force on standards does not exceed the ground bearing capacity.
Storage and Safety
  • Storage Solutions: Mills provides storage containers for different components, ensuring organized and safe storage.
  • Safety Regulations: Follow all safety guidelines and regulations to ensure secure and efficient use of the shoring system.

MILLS TOUR Specifications and load capacity The tower must be stabilised against wind loads, in particular during assembling and dismantling. In the absence of special calculations, it is advisable to limit the height of the tower to 4 times the smaller dimension of the base. For taller structures, the towers should be connected together or anchored to the structure to ensure stability in all directions. The horizontal braces are usually fitted every 4 levels or where there are connections between towers. > Assembly in blocks and runs Mills Tour shoring towers can be interconnected to form blocks...
