Panel Formwork Systems
We offer three kinds of proprietary formwork systems, each engineered for specific structural requirements and concrete pressure capacities:
- FORMA Wall 40 / Economy Form - Our light-duty handset system designed for smaller structures, capable of withstanding concrete pressures up to 40kN/m². This system features a durable steel face and is lightweight enough to be moved manually on site, offering excellent mobility and ease of installation for projects requiring flexibility and efficiency.
- FORMA Wall 60 - A medium-duty system combining a plywood face with a robust steel frame, engineered to handle concrete pressures up to 60kN/m². This versatile solution balances strength and practicality, making it ideal for mid-range construction applications where higher pressures are required without compromising on ease of use.
- FORMA Wall 80 - Our heavy-duty formwork system featuring a plywood face and reinforced steel frame, designed to withstand concrete pressures up to 80kN/m². Wall 80 is a crane handled system and delivers exceptional performance for demanding projects requiring maximum pressure resistance and structural integrity.
Wall 40 (40kN/m2)
Light-duty handset system designed for smaller structures and columns.
Wall 60 (60kN/m2)
This versatile solution balances strength and practicality for medium to large projects.
Wall 80 (80kN/m2)
