Buried formwork for underground concrete structures
The punching form construction method is a simple product designed to achieve lightweight and high rigidity, using thin steel plates as an alternative to plywood formwork, with vertically oriented battens and a lath-like formwork panel processed through forming, aimed at protecting tropical rainforests from the perspective of the natural environment. Additionally, the horizontal battens used for support structures are designed as consumables, and their installation adopts a method of direct fixation to round separators, realizing rational assembly, improved formwork accuracy, and no disassembly. 【Contact Information】 ■ Technical Inquiries Technical Development Department, Phone Number: 03-3624-6201 ■ Inquiries for Estimates and Transactions For inquiries regarding estimates and transactions, please contact each branch via the URL below. http://www.okabe.co.jp/network/group.html

basic information
● Environmentally Friendly We have achieved the protection of tropical rainforests by using steel formwork panels that do not use tropical hardwoods. Since the panels are delivered in lengths tailored to the structure, there is no industrial waste generated. ● Rationalization and Labor Saving in Construction By using specially designed components that can be assembled in the same way as conventional formwork panels, we have rationalized the construction process, achieving labor savings and a reduction in construction time. ● Non-Demolition Method All components are consumable materials, and no durable materials are used. ● Simultaneous Slab Pouring is Possible The formwork panels, which are integrally molded with vertical battens, have high rigidity, allowing for simultaneous pouring of the ground beams and slab concrete using a flat deck, significantly shortening the construction period. ● Material Delivery 1/7, Zero Removal Due to the small loading capacity of the components, the amount of materials delivered is 1/7 compared to plywood panels, and since the non-demolition method is used, the amount removed is zero. ● Concrete Filling Status Can Be Confirmed By using a mesh on the formwork panels, the filling status of the concrete can be confirmed, making quality control easier.
Applications/Examples of results
● All concrete structures in contact with the ground. ● Buildings: underground beams, footings, strip foundations, mat foundations, bearing plates, and concrete stops, etc. ● Civil engineering structures: column footings, retaining walls, square piles, construction joints, etc. ● Works: tower foundations, wind power generation foundations, etc.
