Deck Plate Introduction

Deck Plate is an innovative construction material that has revolutionized construction methods by replacing traditional plywood formwork. It is an essential building material that offers significant benefits, including time and cost savings, as well as improved safety, making it a game-changing construction material.

Concept We install temporary supports and formworks with plywood form, and place the rebar on the jobsite. The oldest general method of reinforced concrete structure. Recently generalized system method of reinforced concrete structure as the integrated and prefabricated system by fixing steel wires on 0.5T steel plate at the factory
Process order Temporary support placing → plywood form installation → Rebar placing → Pouring concrete → Concrete curing protection → Formwork removal → Disposing of materials Stiffener installation → Deck installation → Connecting & Distribution bar installation → Pouring concrete
Construct ability
  • 1. Need many labors
  • 2. Form remaining period is needed until the concreted surface gets cured.
  • 3. It’s hard to go to the follow-up process before dismantling formwork.
  • 4. It’s impossible to work rebar placement and formwork operation at the same time.
  • 1. The process is simple
  • 2. Less process friction between deck installation and rebar placement
  • 3. Minor transport by labor is easy
  • 4. High workability.
Quality
  • 1.Covering depth is irregular
  • 2. The rebar spacing is not regular due to the rebar work on the jobsite.
  • 1. The rebar spacing is regular by prefabricated wire truss girder – The Structural Stability
  • 2. The covering depth is regular as the main bars are fixed on the lattice
Environmental sector
  • 1. Production of numerous construction waste(Lumber and plywood) on the site
  • 2. Generation of noise and dust during the support dismantlement.
  • 1. There is only small construction waste due to non supporting.
  • 2. Less noise and dust on the site
  • 3. Easy site management(cleaning) due to less temporary materials
Safety sector
  • 1. Poor safety environment due to high place work and input of many labors and materials
  • 2. Accidents by fallen objects can frequently occur while working the dismantlement.
  • 1. Less workload of high place by the integrated materials
  • 2. Less demolition work
