1. Wall Panels

Definition:

Wall panels create the vertical yardsticks for sculpting concrete walls and columns.

Key Features:

Capability to be vertically stacked with adjoining panels to form a single module

Manufactured from high grade alloys of aluminium

Roof panels are designed together with side panels to enhance aesthetics.

2. Slab Panels esthmtl, economicll

Definition:

These set of panels hold the horizontal slabs in place until the concrete is set.

1. Primary Attributes:

• Specifically made for withstanding the loads of wet concrete

• Integrated with the beams for added structural support

• Achieves a uniform and level slab finish

3. Beam Formwork

Function:

Horizontal beams are formed and supported by side and bottom wall panels.

Key Features:

• Particular importance for bearing elements

• No leakage assembly to ensure clean lines of concrete

• Maintains relative position accuracy

4. Deck Panels

Function:

Deck panels rest upon beams and contain the slab concrete until the concrete is poured.

Key Features:

• Lightweight aiding in faster assembly

• Achieves uniformity in slab thickness

• Important for monolithic construction

5. Prop / Drop Heads

Function:

These heads hold the deck and slab panels while allowing for early stripping of the props.

Key Features:

• Accelerate project timelines

• Limitless height adjustments to slabs

• Optimizes time without sacrificing structural integrity

6. Wedge Pins & Tie Rods

Function:

These elements join formwork and also serve to spatially fix the formwork panels.

Key Features:

• Wedge pins give total panel security

• Tie rods prevent lateral movement caused by concrete thrust

• Makes setting up and taking apart structures easy

7. Kickers / Starter Panels

Function:

These panels make the wall formwork and align it at the base with the kickers accurately.

Most Important Parts:

• Precise Wall Alignment

• Heightens Structural Integrity

• Required for Vertical Formwork Precision

8. Corner Internal and External Panels

Role:

Used for joining wall panels at the internal and external corners.

Most Important Parts:

• Prevents leakage at the corners

• For rooms internal panels at an intersection of two rooms

• External panels at joins of two external walls

9. Wall Ties/Tie Bars

Role:

Controls the distance between two opposing wall panels.

Most Important Parts:

• Quality control of the wall thickness

• Gives support structurally sideways

• Controls the vertical alignment during concrete pouring

10. Striking/Lifting Handles

Role:

For the removal and repositioning of formwork after the concrete has set.

Most Important Parts:

• Simple to use

• Requires less work

• Saves formwork from damage during removal

11. Brackets and Scaffold Bracing

Role:

These support the formwork system at increased heights to ensure safe and precise positioning of the structure.

Most Important Parts:

• Essential although temporary stability of the structure

• Improves safety of workers

• Stops elevated structures from distorting

12. Soffit Panels & Soffit Bolts

Role:

Serves as a base for slabs which are attached using soffit bolts.

Primary Highlights:

• Secures slab formwork.

• Provides ease and speed for putting together and taking apart the formwork.

• Contributes towards the formwork rigidity.
