    K-Stage is a scaffolding system that uses an adjustable grid of standards, ledgers, and beams to provide a flat surface for slab formwork. It reduces costs and speeds up construction compared to traditional timber systems. The system uses adjustable dropheads to support the beams and allow easy removal of the beams and decking once the concrete has partially cured. Dismantling follows the reverse order of assembly while maintaining safety.

    K-Stage Decking & Propping


    The K-Stage Decking systems replaces the primary & secondary
    timbers in soffit support and provides a flat support grid for
    decking out with plywood or other suitable materials, labour
    costs are greatly reduced in conjunction with the speed of
    construction to provide an economical solution to decking
    problems. K-Stage requires fewer different pieces than most
    other similar systems and can be stored in less space.

    Standard 5975).Take care that the structure is stable in the unloaded condition, especially if
    towers or narrow structures are used. All standards should be erected plumb. Horizontal forces
    should be distributed over all standards as evenly as possible. Sound footings should be
    provided to prevent settlement of the standards.

    Early striking is a technique whereby the formwork is removd 3 to 4 days after pouring the
    slabs but with the supporting structure of Scaffold remainng undisturbed for the full
    curing period.
    After striking, the primary beams, the infill beams and the plywood can be easily removed
    and re-used on the next area of Scaffold. The drophead remains at all times in contact with
    the underside of the slab ensuring proper support at all times.
