Although the DeckFast system is usually used for creating a flat slab, it can accommodate some sloped conditions. This project featured a slight drainage slope on the base slab and an East-to-West slope on the slab being supported. The 9" and 10½" slab was elevated at 10'-6¾" and also had 10' x 10' drop heads which were supported by FrameFast™ shoring with aluminum joists and stringers. Plans called for approximately 30,000 ft2 of DeckFast deck panels and drop heads.

DeckFast is a system that consists of Post Shores, 5.9' x 5.9' aluminum panels and smaller fillers with a 10mm plywood face. Working around the drop heads, the contractor used as many large DeckFast panels as possible and then pieced in the smaller areas. By adjusting the elevation of the post shores with the threaded collar, the contractor was able to create the drainage slope.
