Adaptable and Versatile
One of the standout features of QuikDeck is its ability to be built in the air or on the ground and hoisted in place, providing “factory-floor-like working conditions” on one level, while work also continues without disruption below the platform. In addition, with modular components, QuikDeck can be easily assembled without special tools and adapted to fit various shapes and sizes. Whether you're working in the air, around curves, in tight corners, or underneath structures, QuikDeck provides a versatile solution to access challenging areas. This adaptability makes it an ideal choice for a variety of projects, ensuring that you have the right equipment for the job.
Increased Safety and Stability
Safety is of paramount importance in any construction project, and QuikDeck excels in this aspect by offering enhanced stability and traction. As attested by the superintendent of a Middle East offshore turnaround, "QuikDeck provides much more traction, plus it gives us a more secure feeling. Stability-wise and strength-wise, there’s no comparison to the other systems I’ve worked on." The system's sturdy design and secure footing create a safe working environment for craftspeople, allowing multiple individuals to work side by side and use heavy equipment with ease.
To highlight the effectiveness of QuikDeck, let's take a look at two case studies where this innovative system delivered outstanding results:
Longfellow Bridge (Boston, Massachusetts)
The maintenance and restoration of the Longfellow Bridge required a reliable and robust scaffolding solution. QuikDeck emerged as the clear choice due to its superior stability and strength. The project's construction company superintendent praised the system, stating, "QuikDeck is just a great way to do scaffolding; it's brilliant, really." The positive feedback from industry professionals showcases the value and effectiveness of QuikDeck in demanding construction scenarios.
Ohio Valley 650 Megawatt Unit
By utilizing QuikDeck's suspended platform within a boiler at a staggering height of 180 feet, the project team was able to significantly reduce costs and minimize the overall timetable. Instead of opting for a supported scaffold solution, the innovative use of QuikDeck allowed for the budget to be cut in half. This example demonstrates how QuikDeck can offer substantial savings and increased efficiency, making it a game-changer in the industry.
