Suspended Flydeck Structure: What is it?
FLYDECK is a suspended structure for bridge and viaduct maintenance as well as general ceiling maintenance and fitting. The Flydeck system consists of a temporary, suspended, modular working platform that is quickly assembled using a pair of FLYRAIL guides. The beams are made of 25 cm or 45 cm aluminium (steel is also available on request) and are reversible, i.e. they can be used with both U-mounted and tube-mounted decks. They are available in various lengths up to 6 m and are connected by two spigots and eight unique spring pins that make the connection quick, safe, and easy. The FLYRAIL guide is designed to speed up assembly and to create a Flydeck suspended platform by passing over piers and pier caps (or any other obstacle) and continuing with the structure into the next span without interrupting the roadway with additional supports. Thanks to the use of FLYRAIL guides, the beams can be positioned longitudinally or transversely to continue the assembly in a forward or lateral direction. The use of FLYRAIL guides ensures that operators can always work safely from a suspended platform. A team of three trained operators can assemble approximately 200 m2 per day with the help of a pair of FLYRAIL guides.
