Are you tired of unstable structures, safety concerns, and soaring construction costs? We understand the issues faced when challenges arise in construction projects. And let's face it, we all have moments when something doesn't go according to plan.
Builders, site project managers, and construction developers often face discomfort when selecting adjustable steel props for construction site problems.
Main issues faced by the construction industry:
Project Coordination:
Coordinating the installation of Acrow props alongside other construction activities can be complex. Ensuring the correct installation of the adjustable props at the proper heights and locations without disrupting other work can be a significant challenge.
Skills & Expertise:
Many construction professionals may not have the specialised knowledge required for installing Acrow props. A proper installation can lead to safety risks and project delays.
Right Props for the Job:
Construction professionals often need the appropriate Acrow prop type for specific project requirements. The wrong construction prop for the job can lead to inefficiencies, safety concerns, and project delays.
Time Constraints:
Time is often a critical factor in construction projects. Coordinating acquiring, installing, and removing Acrow props within tight project schedules can be demanding.
Cost Control:
Unexpected costs and unrealistic budget expectations are all part of project cost control and managing a project budgets efficiently is essential. Unexpected costs related to Acrow props installation, such as labour, equipment and delays from third party suppliers, can strain budgets and impact project profitability.
Safety & Structural Integrity:
Ensuring the safety of construction workers and the integrity of structures is paramount. Inadequate installation or instability of Acrow props can pose safety risks.
Quality Assurance:
Quality standards must be maintained throughout construction. The quality of Acrow props and their proper installation can directly impact the quality of the finished structure.
Site Waste & Debris:
Construction sites must be cleared of debris and unused materials after installation. The cleanup process can add to the workload and time requirements.
Storage and Logistics:
Acrow props require storage space when not in use. Managing the logistics of transporting, storing, and handling these props can take time and effort.
Removal and Return:
Coordinating the removal and return of Acrow props upon project completion can be a logistical challenge, especially if different vendors are involved.
Vendor Reliability:
Depending on multiple vendors for Acrow props, installation and removal can introduce uncertainties. Builders and project managers need reliable service providers.
Communication:
Effective communication between all stakeholders, including project managers, builders, and installation teams, is essential for a successful installation process.

Acrow Props are versatile, adjustable steel supports that shore up structures during construction. They're the backbone of safety, ensuring structures remain stable during various building phases.
Other names for Acrow props include:
In the past, timber props were commonly used in construction, cut to fit each project's unique needs. However, in the early 20th century, Swiss-born William de Vigier, residing in London since 1935, introduced a groundbreaking innovation. He invented the first adjustable steel prop, naming it the "Acrow Prop" in honour of his solicitor, Mr. A. Crow. Unlike timber props, the Acrow Prop was versatile and reusable, revolutionising construction practices by providing a more efficient and consistent support solution for various projects.
Acrow props are adjustable steel shoring posts to support loads during construction or repair work. They are typically used to support floors, ceilings, and walls. Acrow props have two main components: inner and outer tubes. The inner tube is threaded, and the outer tube has a hole that the inner tube fits through. The inner tube is raised and lowered by turning a screw handle at the top of the prop.
Acrow props are first placed in position, and the height is adjusted to support the load. The props are then secured in place using wedges or base plates. Acrow props can be used individually or in groups to support heavier loads.
Acrow props work by transferring the weight of the load to the ground, distributing the weight evenly. They can support a wide range of weights. Acrow props are also adjustable, which makes them versatile and easy to use.
Here are some examples of Acrow prop use:
