Building the arteries of modern cities—the Metro systems—demands a level of safety, precision, and speed few can match. GCC Scaffolding is a proven partner for major metro and rail infrastructure, delivering highly engineered scaffolding and shoring systems for above-ground viaducts, elevated stations, and underground tunnels.
Our solutions are designed to manage the unique challenges of urban rail construction: working over live traffic, managing restricted right-of-way, and supporting massive structural loads.
Island Scaffolding Solutions
For the above-ground sections that define the modern metro, our solutions provide the necessary strength and stability for heavy construction.
Heavy-Duty Shoring Systems: Custom-designed heavy-duty shoring to support the formwork for concrete pier caps, U-girders, and station concourses. We use systems like Cuplock or high-capacity modular systems for superior load distribution.
Cantilever & Bridging Scaffolds: Expertly designed systems that extend over existing roadways and obstacles, allowing work to proceed with minimal disruption to city traffic below.
Station Access: Modular and stair tower systems for safe, high-volume access to platforms, ticketing halls, and roof structures during construction and cladding.
Underground Tunnel & Station Scaffolding
The subterranean elements of a metro system demand adaptable and safe access for confined spaces and ongoing installation.
Tunnel Lining Access: Rolling an
Confined Space Scaffolding: Custom designs that fit within varying tunnel cross-sections, providing safe and efficient access for lining, waterproofing, inspection, and maintenance.
Mobile & Rolling Scaffolds: Systems designed for quick relocation, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity across long tunnel sections.
Formwork and Shoring Support: Providing robust support structures for tunnel concrete lining operations and temporary shoring within excavation zones.
Integrated Lighting & Ventilation: Solutions that safely incorporate necessary environmental controls and lighting systems into the scaffolding structure.
Key Benefit: Our designs prioritize quick assembly and dismantling, crucial for maintaining project schedules in time-sensitive tunnel environments.
