Canadian’s Maple Reinders chooses MevaLite and Imperial wall formwork systems

Maple Reinders, a renowned Canadian construction company, recently made the decision to choose MEVA Formwork Systems to supply their forming and shoring needs on the Dalhousie Wastewater Treatment Plant, located in the picturesque Niagara Region of Ontario, Canada. Choosing MEVA highlights Maple Reinders’ commitment to provide safety, efficiency and sustainability while building concrete structures for their infrastructure projects.

Maple Reinders was founded over 55 years ago by Fred J. Reinders, in the basement of his house in Etobicoke, Ontario. His vision was to apply sound engineering principles to the design and construction of every project the company undertook and to manage the process with scrutiny for every possible detail. In his words: “By doing so, we could offer value – real value – for money. And we could create things of lasting value.” The company has grown to become an award-winning construction services provider with over 425 professional staff, providing creative solutions in ICI buildings and environmental construction.

The decision to use both MevaLite and the Imperial formwork systems on the same jobsite was based on a comprehensive evaluation of the forming needs required for each structure. A focal point in the design process was the modularity of both systems and the variety of accessories.

A lot of what we do demands customized geometric structures. By using MEVA, we encounter far fewer obstacles because of the design efficiencies, which really allows us to build structures with a higher degree of customization on the jobsite. There is always a workaround for everything. But it is different when we have the confidence when pouring concrete in walls of this magnitude.

Darren Slaa, Project Foreman

After the walls were poured, the contractor had to build elevated concrete slabs that reached a height of 6 m or 20’-0. To increase safety and to save labor, MEVA designed tables using the MEP aluminum shoring system. Once erected, the tables were then moved from pour to pour using the MEP trucks.

Trevor Speers, who was the Project Manager for the Port Dalhousie Project, recommended using MEVA because of his firsthand experience of using Imperial, which offers a higher pour rating and reduced number of ties. The Imperial system features the 12’-0 x 8’-0 crane-set panels and reduces the number of joints, resulting in a better concrete finish. MevaLite was employed as a handset form in the areas where crane access was limited.

It was truly an honor for MEVA to be selected for Maple Reinders’ first self-performing concrete division job, and we look forward to providing unique solutions in the future.
