Challenge
Duratec Australia called on Giant Inflatables Australia to produce inflatable forms so they could install grout between the steel skid and a concrete slab. The challenge was to get the forms into the difficult areas and create an integral seal around the perimeter of the pour.
Inflatable forms are the solution
Inflatable forms have many advantages over traditional forms and shuttering systems and were the perfect fit for this mining remedial project.
Inflatable forms are lightweight and easier transport set up and store when not in use, compared to traditional forms and shuttering.
The flexible nature of inflatable forms makes it easy to install in inconvenient or awkward spaces.
The porous, malleable nature of the rubber surface of the inflatable form creates a perfect seal against other surfaces. This is especially true when the surface is uneven.
Inflatable forms can be created in virtually any form and the drop stitch matrix web construction.
