Monterey Mechanical wanted to make sure
that workers could safely and easily access
key elements, particularly the pour doors and
taper ties. To facilitate access, ladders were
provided on the inside and the outside gang‑
forms. Walkways with steel guardrail posts
were also installed at pour door locations to
ensure a safe working platform during con‑
crete placement.
Jim Troup, Project Manager, and Patrick
Cassano, Concrete Superintendent, were ex‑
tremely pleased with the high quality of the
concrete finish that they were able to achieve.
Mr. Cassano noted that the Flex‑Form system
provided a true radius finish without chord‑
ing, something that other systems could not
provide for the tight 25' radius walls. They
reported that they are anxious to team up with
Symons again on their next radius wall project.
