Wall formwork

Formworks for the simultaneous casting of foundation beams and the slab

Cassaforma Muro (Wall formwork) was designed as an alternative to traditional wood shuttering, which permits casting walls at a height, reversed beams and foundation bases, drastically reducing the time for creating the foundation.

This permanent formwork consists of a combination of pipes, panels, collars and stirrups all made of polypropylene.

In combination with the Atlantis System, the Wall Formwork makes it possible to create foundation beams and a slab, which optimises and speeds up the work in the building site, with considerable economic implications.
For this reason this system is greatly appreciated for the creation of water collection and/or dispersion tanks, which are always needed in various construction contexts.
Due to its easy, quick positioning, it is also perfectly suited for creating ribbed rafts, where the empty spaces between the beams are filled by Atlantis System formworks.

ADVANTAGES

Muro formwork in coherence with its purpose, which is quick and easy work in the construction site, is characterised by simple, lightweight parts that permit intuitive and quick assembly with multiple advantages.

Advantages:
• Less time used for shuttering and deshuttering.
• Saving time in cleaning the planking, which will be smooth and clean.
• Saving time and expenses related to storing, depositing and transporting formworks; the material is not bulky and is not affected by bad weather.
• A specialised workforce is not required.
• Simultaneous casting of the foundation beams and slab if combined with the Atlantis system.

APPLICATIONS

For the creation, in a single solution, of an upper slab (cavities) and internal and perimetric foundation beams for a structure.
For the creation of ribbed rafts (structures not used often normally due to the excessive work of shuttering and deshuttering).
For the creation of water dispersion and/or collection tanks.
For any project that requires, for a variety of reasons, elaborate and geometrically complex shuttering.

INSTALLATION

1. Placing the foundation reinforcements on the prepared light concrete base.

2. Nailing along the inner and perimetric foundation beams of the lower stirrups and pipe base at an equal distance, approx. every 50 cm.

3. Place the initial panel by inserting it in the guide of the lower stirrups and fasten it on the top with the collars inserted on the pillars.

4. After assembling the first Atlantis formworks, position the intermediate stirrups on the panel and then connect the stirrups and collars of the opposing pillars with the steel forks (to be prepared in the construction site).

5. Position other panels on top, always fastening them with stirrups and collars, based on the necessary height to be reached. Complete assembling the Atlantis modules and plugging up the side that remained open in the formwork along the perimeter with polystyrene panels.

6. Start casting the concrete starting from the pillars, continuing with the curbs and the slab.
