Case Studies

TRUSSDEK® – MiCasa8 Student Accommodation, NSW

MiCasa8 is a 219 unit student accommodation complex in Melbourne, Victoria. The use of TRUSSDEK® permanent composite steel formwork decking helped Galvin Construction save on labour and speed construction while eliminating the need for backpropping. This contributed to completing the MiCasa8 project two months ahead of schedule.

TRUSSDEK® – Overview Video

TRUSSDEK® is a permanent composite formwork system that provides longer unpropped spanning capabilities (more than 7m), easier handling and installation, and pre-cambering to produce a truly flat soffit. TRUSSDEK® is ideal for conventional suspended floor slabs and areas with limited access for propping.
