Prefabricated prestressed concrete members are formed on a stressing bed with a number of working stations arranged next to one another along the length of the bed. A frame froms the working stations and the frame is movable over the stressing bed. With a previously poured concrete member in one of the working stations, part of a form is placed in another working station and is filled with concrete. After the form part is completely filled and consolidated, a second form part is placed downwardly on the filled part completing the form. A lifting member on the frame which placed the second form part on the filled part is then moved to the station containing the previously poured member which is still within the form. The form is stripped from the concrete member and the frame is then moved along with the lifting member returning the stripped form to the working station where it is to be filled with concrete. After the stripped form is moved the second form part is separated from the part to be filled with concrete and is moved into another working station where it is cleaned and readied for the next working cycle.

Method of and apparatus for the manufacture of prefabricated prestressed

An apparatus for continuously producing finished prestressed concrete wires along a prestressing bed with a plurality of prestressing members which extend along the prestressing bed and which are arranged to pass through the concrete members when formed. The apparatus includes a scaffold which spans the prestressing bed in a gantry-like fashion and is supported for movement in a direction parallel to the bed. The scaffold extends over at least two adjacent stations along the prestressing bed for producing the finished prestressed concrete members. A number of vertically movable lower form members are carried on the scaffold for movement to a lowered position on the prestressing bed for receiving fresh concrete to form the concrete members. After the concrete members are formed and bonded the lower form member may be raised away from the finished concrete member. Upper form members corresponding in number to the lower form members are also carried on the scaffold for vertical movement into and out of the concrete member forming position. The upper form members are also horizontally movable longitudinally along the scaffold.
