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.
