Column formwork VARIMAX

Description

The system is broadly applicable for projects where large numbers of square and rectangular columns, with variable cross-sections, are to be formed cost-effectively and quickly. For column forming versatile panels of the VARIMAX system are used. Using the versatile panels 90 cm width a column cross-section up to 75 x 75 cm in a 5 cm grid can be formed, with use of 135 panel a column cross-section up to 120 x 120 in a 5 cm grid can be formed. Height extension can be accomplished by means of vertical stacking.

Heavy-duty formwork:

• 80 kN/m² pressure of fresh concrete;
• High quality film faced plywood with thickness of 21 mm. Film weight 240 g/m².

Easy to use:

• Having only 2 standard panel widths provides much easier planning and forming;
• All the connectors and accessories are easily fixed into the slots and quickly tighten, consequently forming time is efficient and maximized;
• Any column cross-section up to 120x120 cm in a 5 cm grid can be easily assembled.

Cost-effective:

• Maximum utilization is obtained from the formwork by using versatile panels for columns, corners, stop-ends and wall junctions;
• Installation of pre-assembled units minimizes use of a crane;
• For a column forming only 2 pre-assembled units are used, meaning that forming and stripping time is optimized;
• 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.

Safe use:

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