About formtraveller

A formwork that builds the bridge by moving on the bridge itself!

Long span bridges like cable stay and CLC bridges are constructed most efficiently by

balanced cantilever method using form travellers.

What we offer

Detailed engineering services for building a form traveller including:

Design & drawings including shop drawings

Erection methodology

Operation scheme

Our USP - Light weight

𝐹𝑜𝑟𝑚𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑟

𝑀𝑎𝑥 . 𝑠𝑒𝑔𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡= 0.3 − 0.4 (depending on box shape)

Formtraveller weight = 30 – 40 Tons for segment weighing 100 Tons

Light weight = Less cost!

More qualities of our design

Faster time cycle – Well designed mechanisms to streamline operations

Easy to operate – Powered by hydraulic jacks for movement & deshuttering

Easy to assemble and dismantle – Modular in nature with bolted connections

Safety of workers – Secured platforms & ladders at all operational areas

Negligible deformation – Rigid members to attain the desired shape of segment

Strong reusability – Made of panels that can be reused in your next project

Behind the scene

Inspired by international standards of bridge building, this system is an outcome of:

• 4 months of extensive research

• Understanding requirements of potential clients

• Visits to many formtravellers operational in India

• Inputs and reviews by industry experts

• 3D modelling & design automation

Past experience

• Complete engineering of formtraveller for bridge over river Chenab in J & K (tallest CLC bridge

in India)

• Max. weight of segment cast by gantry = 50 Tons

• Weight of gantry = 21 Tons

• Current status of bridge: 80% complete as on Sept 2015

Ganpath bridge, Jammu
