Services were contracted to provide temporary RMD Slimshor
goalpost props to permit jacking to an existing facade, in
order to pre-load the self weight of the facade onto a new
permanent steel structure. This permitted existing steel columns
supporting the underside of the facade to be removed as part
of a major re-development programme.
In order to utilise standard
RMD components, a 2.5m long 254x146 UB was used, which explains
the need for a standard prop to support the beam overhang.
