With so much equipment on the market, it's normal to get confused by some terms and the function each one performs on a construction site. To expand your knowledge, today we'll talk about climbing formwork, as well as its use and advantages. Let's go?

The use of the climbing form.

Climbing formwork is designed to meet the needs of tall vertical concrete structures when multiple pours are required. These locations are often unsuitable for scaffolding. In general, climbing formwork is highly adaptable to different geometries and ensures greater precision in plumb and alignment adjustments, as well as increasing productivity and reducing the use of cement and additives.

Main applications.

We can find climbing formwork on construction sites in the following locations:

• Industry
• Bridges (pillars)
• Viaducts (pillars)
• Hydroelectric power plants (dams)
• Sports arenas
• Lifts
• Stairs
• Among others

Remember!

The assembly and disassembly of equipment alongside climbing formwork requires the use of a crane, which necessitates careful planning. Another factor to consider is the effect of wind on the equipment.

Does ROHR have climbing formwork?

Yes! Check out the two available models:

ROHR-TAR Self-Supporting Climbing Formwork System

• Self-supporting climbing system for single-sided formwork.
• Avoid using tie rods and/or tensioners for concreting structural elements with great heights.
• Reduced labor required for assembly and disassembly.
• Self-aligning – Fewer parts required for assembly.
• No tie rod is needed to secure the formwork.
• Excellent finish on the concrete.
• Reduction in the construction time.
• Load capacity 25 Kn/m2.
• Lightweight assembly, does not require a large crane or hoist capacity.
• Easy mobility of the set.
• Used in the concreting of walls, pillars, straight walls, reservoirs, silos, modular housing, etc.

ROHR-FAT Climbing Formwork System

• Conventional double-sided climbing system.
• Use of tie rods and/or tensioners for concreting structural elements with great heights.
• Reduced labor required for assembly and disassembly.
• It allows the formwork to be retracted for cleaning and maintenance, ensuring greater safety for the user.
• Self-aligning – Fewer parts required for assembly.
• Possibility of movement in large panels
• Reduced number of tie rods – 3 pieces for a height of 3 m.
• Reduction in the construction time.
• High load capacity 80Kn/m2
• Adjusting the panel leveling allows for correction of any deviations in the anchor leveling.
• Setback of the formwork plane – Greater safety.
