Abstract:
1. Method of constructing a next construction section of a partially completed elongated cantilever structure, the elongated cantilever structure comprising a main longitudinal load-bearing region, said main load-bearing region comprising one or more longitudinal load-bearing web elements, the method comprising the steps of using an overhead form traveler comprising at least one pair of longitudinal load frame elements for supporting a weight of said next construction section, each of said longitudinal load frame elements comprising a distal portion for extending over said next construction section, a proximal portion for securing to a completed part of said partially completed cantilever structure at a point supported by one of said one or more longitudinal load-bearing web elements, and a mid-portion, between said proximal and distal portions, securing the proximal portion of each of said at least one pair of longitudinal load frame elements to the completed part of said partially completed cantilever structure at the point supported by one of said one or more longitudinal load-bearing web elements; and setting a splayed angular orientation of the at least one pair of longitudinal load frame elements, wherein in the splayed orientation the distal portion of each one of the at least one pair of longitudinal load frame elements is positioned to support the weight of the next construction section outwards of, but not directly over said one or more longitudinal load-bearing web elements of said main load-bearing region of said next construction section, and adjustably supporting the mid-portion of each said longitudinal load frame element in said splayed orientation using an adjustable support, wherein said adjustable support comprises a transverse load beam, including transferring load forces occasioned during a process of constructing said next construction section via said transverse load beam, to said one or more longitudinal load-bearing web elements of the completed part of said partially completed cantilever structure.
