ABSTRACT:
A form decking apparatus for use in paving concrete decking on bridges, which apparatus includes multiple elongated form channels oriented on conventional, adjustable cross supports or "whalers" extending between concrete or steel bridge beams, with T-plates spanning the spaces between the form channels to facilitate pouring concrete on the T-plates and form channels. In a preferred embodiment the form channels are deployed on the whalers by means of roller assemblies bolted to the whalers to facilitate minimum risk in traversing the beams and whalers by workmen. In another preferred embodiment of the invention each of the form channels is fitted with a pair of form release bolts which thread into corresponding release nuts welded to the form channels, to release the form channels and the T-plates from the poured and cured concrete decking on the bridge when the whalers are adjusted away from the form channels.
