TORUS GROUP

Grupo Safran, a leading French multinational in high technology specializing in defense, aerospace equipment, and security, honors us by entrusting Grupo TORUS with the construction of its new facilities in Querétaro, Mexico, as part of its expansion project. This large-scale project presents unique challenges in terms of formwork, requiring innovative solutions and specialized attention. Below, we share the details of how we address these challenges with a technical and cutting-edge approach.

What is formwork and what is it used for?

Formwork is a temporary structure used to shape concrete while it hardens. It acts as a mold that holds the concrete in place, allowing it to maintain the desired shape until it gains the necessary strength. In this project, the formwork presents unique challenges that require special attention and innovative solutions.
