Installation support for CLT floors or other timber constructions

In the heart of Brussels, GIRAFFE was used for temporary shoring operations in a new residential complex built in CLT. The intervention, located in a compact urban context, involves the installation of large prefabricated walls, which require reliable support systems from the early stages of assembly. A typical application of the system in assembly of CLT houses, where stability and precision are essential.

Immediate stabilization of structural elements

GIRAFFE allows for the immediate stabilization of solid timber or timber-based structural elements, with continuous height and tilt adjustment. This allows you to work safely even in the presence of variable geometries or significant heights, optimizing installation times and reducing error margins during alignment. A significant advantage in all CLT house assembly contexts.

A reusable support for the assembly of CLT houses

GIRAFFE is designed to be assembled with fast connections and can be used in combination with lifting tools, making it suitable for small, medium, or large construction sites. The sturdiness of the GIRAFFE system structure and the possibility of reuse make it a technically effective choice for those working in high-intensity environments, especially in the assembly of prefabricated timber walls and floors.

Components for building envelope and height safety systems

In the Brussels project, GIRAFFE is flanked by Rothoblaas solutions for fastening, envelope waterproofing, and soundproofing controlling between housing units. Safety at height devices from the Solutions for Safety line, used for assembly and subsequent maintenance, complete the package.

They are all essential components on construction sites dedicated to assembling CLT houses, where efficiency and safety must go hand in hand.
