Abstract: A modular shoring assembly is described. Also described is a length-adjustable support for use with said modular shoring assembly which allows for the height of the shoring assembly to be quickly modified. Also described is a support frame and support panel system as well as a support beam.

Abstract: The invention relates to a scaffolding assembly for use in structural shoring. The assembly includes an elongate post which has a receiving mechanism for a bracing member. The receiving mechanism runs longitudinally of the post and presents an abutment surface facing outwardly from the post. The receiving mechanism further has a pair of longitudinal edges, each of which extends from the abutment surface so as to form a respective gap between the post and the longitudinal edges of the receiving mechanism. The bracing member is for connection between two adjacent posts of the scaffolding assembly, the member having a terminal end for flush contact with the abutment surface on the post. The bracing member further provides a gripping mechanism adjacent the same terminal end. The gripping mechanism engages the longitudinal edges of the receiving mechanism to thereby secure the bracing member to the post.

Abstract: There is disclosed a structural beam for concrete formwork. The beam has a front flange and a rear flange disposed in a spaced apart and parallel configuration. A first web connects the front and rear flanges. A second web is transversely connected to the first web, so that the two webs are disposed in a substantially cruciform configuration. A pair of attachment channels is each respectively disposed at the terminal ends of the second web, the channels extending the entire longitudinal length of the beam. Each of the channels is open in a direction outwardly of the first web, and each provides an abutment surface which is substantially transversely disposed to the front and rear flanges, of the beam.

Abstract: There is provided a modular assembly for poured concrete forming, including a plurality of interconnecting rigid panel members having a rear portion and front facing for contact with poured concrete to form a mold surface. The rear portion of the panel members provides at least two flanges extending generally rearwardly of the front facing, each of the flanges being longitudinally disposed respectively adjacent each of at least two opposed terminal edges of the panel members. Adjacent the front facing of the panel members, a stepped portion is provided at one of the terminal edges of the panels, and a corresponding protruding edge portion is provided at the other of its terminal edges thereof for intimate engagement with the stepped portion of an abutting panel member. The flanges of the panels each provides a mating surface for abutment in intimate contact with an adjacent flange of an abutting panel member.

Abstract: A hand railing assembly for balconies, stairways and the like is supplied to a building site in kit form and is assembled by snap lock connections that have positive stops for increased rigidity.

Abstract: A hand railing assembly is provided which can be assembled on site without the use of screws and rivets and has covers to protect the interlocking joints from rain and the like. The assembly has a hand rail, a bottom rail, a plurality of spaced apart vertical posts, each post having a top end connected to the hand rail and a lower end for mounting in a supporting device, and a plurality of vertical pickets spaced between the posts, each picket having a top end connected to the hand rail and a lower end connected to the bottom rail.
