Fibre Concrete Formwork

Can be used as shuttering for slab edges or for covering of joints in slab shutters. The dovetail profile on the inner side of the board provides a secure bond to the concrete.

Design

Formwork Foam is a low

density, closed cell

polyethylene foam designed

to stop grout loss at

formwork joints. Its supplied

with removable tape on one

side which leaves an

adhesive face on removal

which fixes the foam to the

shutterface.

Design

Rib Stop Expanded Metal

Formwork is specifically

designed for concrete

construction. It is produc

from hot dipped zinc coat

steel and features 21mm

ribs running lengthwise a

the sheet. It can be used

construction joints and st

ends.

The construction of the

sheet is also designed to

produce a mechanical key

and a strong bond across

the joint.

Advantages

Advantages

The forces of the concrete

weight (Z) and the formwork

pressure (Y) are in balance. The

only fixing required is nailing to

prevent the formwork moving

sideways.

Design

Speed Edge Formwork is made

from galvanised sheet metal and

is used for shuttering base and

floor slabs. Corners are easily

installed by simply cutting the

base of the standard 2.25 m

long units.

Design

With shuttering strips openings

of all sizes in base slabs and

concrete floors are quickly and

easily installed. Shuttering strips

are perforated crosswise every

50 mm.

So the length of the opening is a

multiplication of this size, e.g.

150 x 150 mm, 200 x 300 mm,

250 x 250 mm. The scaled

profile ensures proper bond to

the concrete.

Method of Installation

Unroll shuttering strip and cut to

length with tin snips or angle grinder

Fold shuttering strip over the edge of a

table at the required length and trim

Fix the overlapping ends with tie

wire or metal strips. Finished!

Installation

1. Securing Base: The base of the tube can be restrained by

using a simple square timber arrangement fixed to the

ground or decking as required.

2. Securing Top: The top of the tube can be restrained with

a similar frame as the base, off of which traditional props

can be used to plumb and restrain the tube vertically.

Note: Always erect tubes with the arrows pointing upwards,

which ensures correct operation of the tear-off strip.

Storage

Rapidobat tubes are very strong, but remember they

are made from paper!

The tubes must be protected from excessive moisture

before and during use. If space permits, the tubes

should ideally be stored vertically and suspended above

ground (eg. on pallets) to permit airflow. A good sized

tarpaulin which totally covers the Rapidobat tubes

would normally be sufficient short term protection from

weather elements.

Note: It makes good sense to plan Rapidobat deliveries

in close sync with the construction programme.

Cutting

Rapidobat is normally supplied pre-prepared to any required

cut length. However, if tubes need to be shortened on site,

cut only from the bottom of tube using a fine tooth blade

(cutting from the bottom of the tube ensures that the function

of the tear-off strip is not necessarily affected). Re-seal the

liner to the cut rim with a proprietary formwork tape.

Placing Concrete

Up to 4m high and/or up to 450mm diameter, normal pouring

methods (eg. by skip or bucket) can be used. Over 4m high and/or

450mm diameter, place concrete by pump and hose.

Place concrete slowly to eliminate air entrapment between tube

and liner. Only vibrate from inside the tube.

Stripping

Column must be stripped within 48 hours of pour.

1. Pull special tear-off strip down full length of tube.

2. Flap open the tube and push off of column.

3. Remove inner liner from column and inspect the concrete finish.

4. Replace the Rapidobat tube for protection to the newly cast column.



Grade A- Seamless: A unique solution providing a

totally seam free concrete column

Grade B Lined: Internally fitted with a PVC liner giving a high quality fair faced finish. There will be a hairline

seam down the column where the liner butt joints.

Grade C Unlined: An economical tube ideal

for columns where the finish is not fair faced.
