Kings Cross T2
The 415,000 square feet corporate headquarters for Facebook.
Form First provided comprehensive falsework design to this large project. All four blocks S1, S2, N1, N2 were being constructed at the same time which required constant design support while structure was being erected. The post tension slabs required high quality finishes which was taken into account during design and achieved by site during construction.

Twickenham Station Redevelopment
115 New Homes Created Over The Mainline Railway
Form First delivered design solutions to support post tension slabs. Due to stressing sequence some parts of the falsework were required to remain in place supporting three levels of the building. This in addition to parts of the structure being encased in steel truss girders and running above live rail presented us with various challenges as far construction methodology and overall stability is concerned.
