Galvanised components produced in accordance with EN 1090 guarantees projects a safe, reliable system with reduced cost of ownership over the product’s lifecycle. Adopting the system offers higher strength steels and optimised forged girder connections, designed and engineered to match the strength of connecting parts. These factors integrate the highest available strengthtoweight ratio into the system, along with enhanced fatigue performance. Alternative systems often see reduced strength at pin joints — the R800 rises to this challenge. Ian Fryer, RMD Kwikform’s divisional product innovation director, said, “We are thrilled to be bringing the new R800 system to market, it truly heralds the arrival of the next generation of spanning girder equipment. I’m proud of the strength, versatility, and fatigue credentials that the www.technicalreview.me
