LIGHT FORMWORK SYSTEMS > Hand Climbing Formwork |
| |
|
| |
Manually handled formwork is generated by adding to the modular formwork system some devices that make the formwork self supporting upwards. This is a lightweight system that allows manual handling.

Hand climbing features are not necessary when the wall height is not bigger than panel height
Assembly of farms is easy and fast. Based on the size of the project purchasing or renting of a crane may be costly and expensive. In some cases crane may not to be so economical therefore using of manually handled or manually climbing formwork would be preferred.
The 'soldier' lattices which adds more features to the system such as guarantying the vertical plumpness of the formwork and provide a work platform on the formwork for casting concrete by laying wood planks between the lattices. No other bracing or supporting elements are needed other than the coil rods and U supports which are holding them. The system is quite fast and practical and could be used along with the modular system.

CYCLING of MANUALLY HANDLED SYSTEM |
| |
|
| |
Soldiers with lattices are used for vertical supporting of the system. The horizontal connection is made by means of coil rods at the soldier locations (with or without lattices) at various levels. The main criteria for the selection of panel size are the strength of workers for weight lifting and sizes of the concrete structure. |

CYCLING |
| |
1) One side of forms set at ground level. The forms are plumbed by means of soldier leveling screws. Conical pieces are used to allow the coil rods at soldier locations to penetrate into concrete. Then the other side of the forms is closed. |
| |
|
| |
2) Concrete is poured. |
| |
|
| |
3) Forms and accessories are disassembled, leaving only the soldiers and coil rods in place. The top lift of forms is erected by using the extra set of soldiers provided. The vertically of the formwork is controlled by the soldier leveling screws. |
| |
|
| |
4) Concrete is poured. |
| |
|
| |
5) Item 3 is repeated for one lift above. |
| |
|
| |
6) Item 4 is repeated. |
