Column formwork HANDI

Description

The Handi is super-lightweight framed formwork, which has been specifically designed for quick and cost-effective construction. Owing to its super-lightweight panels, the system can be easily handled and assembled by hand. Consequentially, for column forming, the Handi system ideally suited in projects where a large number of square and rectangular columns, with variable cross-sections, need to be formed with limited use of crane and difficulties applying of heavier framed formwork systems (such as Varimax or Varimid systems). To form a column section, versatile panels of the Handi system are used. Using versatile panel 60 cm width, column cross-section up to 50 x 50 cm can be formed in a 5 cm grid. Using versatile panel 90 cm width, column cross-section up to 80 x 80 cm can be formed in a 5 cm grid (it is recommended not increasing cross-section sizes 60 x 60 cm, due to high level of pressure of fresh concrete).

Load-bearing capacity:

• 35 kN/m² pressure of fresh concrete;
• High quality film faced plywood with thickness of 15 mm. Film weight 240 g/m².

Cost-effective:

• Universal application of the Handi system will give you an opportunity to use one system for variety of different tasks;
• Reduction of expenses due to minimizing of crane usage;
• High number of use cycles means lower follow-up expenses;
• Reduction of expenses by means of restoration and cleaning possibilities;
• Galvanized or powder-coated steel frames, for long service life;
• High quality of concrete surface minimizes finishing work;
• Reduction of expenses by using panels which are already used on site;
• Maximum utilization by means of using versatile panels for forming stop-ends, corners, wall junctions etc.

Easy to use:

• All the connectors and accessories are easily fixed into the slots and quickly tighten, consequently forming time is efficient and maximized;
• Ergonomic of the system ensures fast and save assembly.

Safe use:

• Accessories such as — wall brackets, lifting hooks, supporting struts etc. make for save and easier handling of the system.
