Formwork Wiki

Save time on foundations and walls with dry ties. The hand-set systems EcoAs, AluFix and AluStarTec are easy and fast to set up horizontally when pouring deep, strip or sleeve foundations. The range of panel sizes allows for a flexible adaptation to any layout. In addition, dry ties can be achieved with panels in a horizontal position by using a foundation tape. It takes up tractive forces up to 10 kN and is used together with the tape tensioner to form the lower tie. A tie claw, sleeve and flange nut 100 are all you need to form the upper ties.

It is available with column diameters from 25 to 80 cm in steps of 5 cm and in heights of 50, 100 and 300 cm. Since Circo is compatible with the Mammut 350 wall formwork, its half shells can be connected to wall panels to form perfect rounded wall ends. This is done easily and quickly using the standard M formwork clamp. Thanks to its robust steel build, Circo has a load capacity of 120 kN/m². This allows you to pour at any speed up to a height of 4.80 m, irrespective of concrete type or ambient conditions. A working platform with an all-around fall protection, integrated ladder access and safety cage ensures perfect worker safety when pouring high columns.

Compared with other slab systems, the MevaDec system comes with one unique, advantageous feature: It works without a fixed grid, i.e. you can place the panels to perfectly match the slab’s geometry, e.g. by changing the direction of the beams or by placing the panels crosswise or longitudinally, or a combination of both.

The brace bracket SK 80 is used to form slab and foundation edges up to a height of 80 cm. It is equipped with an integrated plastic nailing bar for easy attachment of forming sheets, boards or planking. The brace bracket can be attached via flange nut to the multi-function profile on MEVA formwork panels and can be slanted from -15° to +15°. This makes work in unlevelled terrain safe and easy.

…that the AluFix hand-set system can be used for both walls and slabs. A special prop with AF prop head transforms the wall system AluFix and its top technical features into a flexible slab solution.

…that the all-plastic facing alkus can be cleaned with up to 1000 bar high pressure. Not possible with plywood. Cleaning the facing reduces your release agent consumption to 10 % of the usual amount. 

..that the SAS rapid lowering system, developed and patented by MEVA, allows MEP props to be lowered with a single hammer blow. The prop re-sets automatically into start position, improving safety on site. 

…that the MevaDec slab system enables you to strip and re-use beams and panels for the next pour. The drop head is lowered by 19 cm for easy stripping of the formwork while the prop stays in position to support the freshly poured slab. 

…that the MevaDec slab formwork is the slab system that adheres to no grid. You can change forming direction freely, minimising compensation areas. 

…that the heavy-duty wall formwork system Mammut 350 has a load capacity of 100 kN/m² throughout the system, not just with a few panels. This allows you to pour as fast as you want up to 4 m.

…that the hand-set formwork system AluFix is equipped with an ergonomically shaped grip profile. It makes it easier to handle the panels, even when wet. 

…that the aluminium wall formwork system AluStarTec is best in class when it comes to weight-performance ratio. No other aluminium hand-set panel has a consistent concrete load capacity of 65 kN/m² at a weight of only 65 kg for the largest panel.

…that the double chamber aluminium hollow profile developed by MEVA made it possible to use light-weight aluminium as a robust and sturdy panel frame. 

…that attaching the walkway bracket to all MEVA wall panels is quick, easy and safe using the identical method. The bracket is attached to the multi-function profile, secured (cannot slip out) and fastened with a standard flange screw 18 to the next multi-function profile. The bracket stays secure in any position and cannot slip.

…that the all-plastic, 100 % wood-free facing alkus can be welded to form large forming surfaces. This enables you to pour concrete without any joints or imprints. The facing can also be cut to size, shaped and pre-bent for special geometries.
