\nIngenious panel slab formwork with steel frame <\/p>\n
PASCHAL-Werk G. Maier GmbH, service provider and manufacturer in the field of concrete formwork systems, presents a new development: the E-DECK. This is panel slab formwork for use on construction sites where a crane is not available, and where aluminium should not be used.
\nIn Europe, panel slab formwork is successfully used, but is predominantly made from aluminium. This has the advantage that it is lighter than steel and, therefore, larger areas of formwork can be done per unit of weight. However, because of its material characteristics, aluminium has the disadvantage that once it is damaged it is very difficult to repair and the complete panel frame must be replaced.
\nHowever, for various reasons aluminium frames are not very practical in emerging markets for do-it-yourself stores. Therefore, the research department of PASCHAL developed panel slab formwork made from steel: E-DECK.
\nPanel slab formwork has an advantage over flex-formwork that the panels are protected and more durable. Because the panels are attached to one another, as opposed to flex-formwork, they are considerably safer.
\nThe frame consists of profiled steel and, with a height of only 7.5 cm, is low for building sites and easy to transport. The formwork facing consists of a 9 layer, 12 mm thick birch plywood. None of the panels weigh more than 20 kilograms. Thus, they can be installed at building sites which have no crane available. Damage to the frame can be absorbed by the E-DECK much better than comparable aluminium frames and it is also possible to repair the frame.
\nThe prototypes manufactured in Germany have been successfully tested on some building sites. They will be presented at the Bauma 2010.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
