Guided Climbing
MGC is the abbreviation for MEVA Guided Climbing. Guided climbing means
that after each pour cycle the system climbs up the building structure by
one level with the help of guiding profiles and climbing shoes while the
system is lifted by a crane.
The MGC system offers a significant advantage: the entire system including
guiding profiles, ladder extensions, secondary platforms etc. is assembled
from ground level below – maintaining simple, safe and time-saving
conditions.
Another advantage is that the vertical formwork and the work platform are
a single unit. Thanks to the guiding profiles, remains securely attached to
the building structure during building and lifting. Thus, wind velocities do
not affect the building process or endanger worker safety. This is why the
MGC system is ideally suited for high-rise building in areas with high wind
speeds and generally for high buildings since the wind velocity increases
with height. Consult MEVA engineering for the formwork height and MGC
spacing for your project.
The MGC-F bracket was designed specifically for the North American market,
allowing pre-assembly of the platforms to be completed off site and then
transported to the project, where the platforms can be flown off of the
truck and unfolded on the wall.

platforms for pouring and a secondary platform. The unit is designed to
support the following loads:
£Working platform
Up to 50psf
£Platform for pouring
Up to 25psf
£Secondary platform
2 workers only
Important
£Unless indicated otherwise, the exterior formwork should be advanced
upward prior to interior formwork, to avoid wind exposure on interior
unbraced forms.
£No workers should be allowed on platforms if wind gusts are expected
to exceed 30MPH. If wind gusts are expected to exceed 70MPH, all
materials not fixed to platform should be removed from platforms.
Platforms should be lowered to a previous lift of concrete, forms tied
back through previous concrete lift, and all decking securely fastened.
If this cannot be achieved, platforms and forms should be removed
from walls and secured on the ground.
£If a hurricane is predicted, all material must be removed from the walls
and the formwork and platforms secured on the ground.
£Lifting eyes on stripping corners are not designed to be used when
lifting large formwork assemblies and platforms. They are included
for handling of stripping corners only
£Global load checks of the forces applied to the permanent structure by
the climbing equipment shown herein, are the responsibility of others.
£Concrete must have attained the the strength specified by MEVA
engineering or the design engineer prior to jumping formwork to
the next position.
£The climbing unit must be kept free from excessive snow and ice.
£The engineer of record should verify the walls that the system will be
mounted to are capable of safely withstanding the imparted loads
from the system.

2nd pour
Climbing cones are required
on two levels in order to
make sure the climbing
brackets are guided in the
climbing shoes (Fig. 15.3).
As with the 1st pour, the
upper level is located 23“
below the top of the pouring
height. The location of the
lower level
Climbing shoes should be
as large as possible, and still
allow the MGC-F without the
guide extension to be lifted
while remaining in two guide
shoes. This distance is usually
8‘-0“ or less, depending on
geometry. The smaller this
distance the greater the load
will be on the top anchor.
Note: MGC platforms may be
lifted and remain only in one
shoe level, but this means
a balanced 4 way or crane
compensator will be required
to keep platforms level.

Access hatch and ladder system
Top view onto the main platform with access hatch
The planning and assembly of
the access hatch and ladder
system is done from the
bottom to the top. The layout
of the ladder system depends
primarily on the position
of the secondary platform,
the position of which is
determined by the height
of the pouring cycles and
the position of the climbing
shoes, see p. MGC-18.
The access hatch is set into
the platform planking. This
requires an opening of 28.7”
x 28.7” in the planking. The
access hatch is positioned
between the platform’s
stringers and the slide
carriages. It must be located
39.5” (minimum) behind the
edge of the guiding profile
to make sure that the hatch
can also be opened when the
formwork is removed from
the wall. Make sure the hatch
cover can be opened towards
the formwork.
Longitudinal planks or
suitable lumber must be
placed on either side of the
opening for the access hatch

Climbing and lifting the platforms
Important
A platform must not be lifted
while a person or material is
on that platform.
All loose parts and tools must
be removed from the platform
prior to lifting it.
We recommend using 4-rope
crane slings when crane-
lifting platforms (one or
more). You can use a chain
jack to balance different
centres of gravity (Fig. 32.1).

Guided Climbing
Assembly process
Step 1
For initial placement, set MGC foldable
brackets on flat 4x4 cribbing spaced
1/2” further apart than “A” distance.
Square brackets & attach two (2)
horizontal ledgers that are presized 1
1/2” shorter than “A” distance, to the
guiding profiles. Then attach turnbuckle
cross bracing.
Turnbuckle Bracing Color Code:
60 LH (Yellow-Head Blue)
70 LH (Yellow-Head Red)
80 LH (Yellow)
130 RH (Silver-Head Red)
180 RH (Silver-Head Yellow)
230 RH (Silver-Head Green)
280 RH (Silver)
Step 2
Place two (2) aluminum stringers
on MGC. Once proper cantilever is
established, attach with one (1) beam
clamp per crossing. After clamps are
tightened and the correct spacing/
cantilever is established, the lumber
deck and guardrails can be attached
Step 3
Place pre-assembled MGC foldable
platform near to its desired location.
Confirm that climbing shoe MGC’s
are securely axed to concrete wall -
climbing shoes with swivel-guide are
attached to the first climbing section
to allow for guiding profile extension
to be brought into place.
