Structural Slabs, Floor by Floor

Something few formwork contractors know how to do.

A structural slab is what lets you build over open space: a floor, an underground parking level, a deep basement. Coffrage XP builds it floor by floor, which not every formwork company can do.

Pouring a structural slab: five workers spread around the concrete pump hose.

Up to any height

On an eight-storey condo project, Coffrage XP can form all eight floors.

And down in depth

Underground parking commonly runs two levels down. That's where the structural slab becomes essential.

Set by crane

The work is done with mobile cranes or tower cranes, depending on the jobsite and access.

PERI Skydeck system

The slab formwork runs on the PERI Skydeck system, built for long-span floors.

For which projects

  • Heavy residential
  • Commercial and industrial

How soon can you do my formwork?

For a house, plan on about a month between your call and the end of the job. When the calendar allows it, it can be done in two or three weeks. It's the question we get asked the most, and it's also what sets Coffrage XP apart: when a date is given, the crew is there, and the job gets done completely.

How much does foundation formwork cost?

Coffrage XP doesn't post a price per square foot: every project is quoted from your plans. The type of project, site access, and the schedule all move the number. Send your plans and you'll get a firm price.

Do I need plans before contacting you?

No. Without plans, Coffrage XP can't produce a priced quote, but we can call you, walk you through the steps, and guide you along. Just tell us where you're at in the form.

What types of formwork do you do?

Three techniques: Duraform, a patented forming system, for every sector; structural slabs, including floor by floor; and prefabricated PERI walls. Coffrage XP covers residential, heavy residential, commercial, and industrial.

What's the difference between a structural slab and a slab on grade?

A slab on grade sits directly on the ground. A structural slab spans open space: it makes room for a basement, an underground parking level, or a floor above. It's the one you need as soon as there's open space underneath.
