The best type of system will depend on the nature of your specific project. Some systems, like our Aluminum Fly Forms, are ideally suited for multi-storey structures like high-rise buildings. Others like our Aluminum Access Trusses are often used to suspend underneath bridges or overpasses, though they can also be used overtop stadiums, swimming pools, vaulted ceilings, or lobby areas. Work with one of our experienced engineers to discuss which system will be best for you. If your project has unique requirements, we will work with you to develop customized solutions.

• Labour and Material Savings: Compared to wood, aluminum beams eliminate up to 30% of the horizontal supports and up to 50% of vertical supports normally required.
• Resistant to Corrosion: Aluminum generates a natural oxide coating, which protects it from corrosion and rust without the need for paint or lacquer.
• Durable: Aluminum equipment Is reliable, being resistant to on-site damage.
