Modular panel formwork system
MINIMA
is the latest addition to RMD Australia's range
of wall formwork systems – it's an excellent
solution for fast and cost effective forming of
concrete walls.
With 18 panel sizes available
Minima can easily be assembled into most layout
combinations and pour heights and because many of
the panels are lighter weight than similar systems,
they can be set by hand, providing greater productivity.
The strong and robust design
of Minima enables it to withstand concrete pressures
up to 60kN/m² and Minima can be used on a wide
range of applications including: walls; columns;
service cores; tanks; foundations and basements.
Some of the key
benefits derived from using Minima
are:
- Because many of Minima's panels can easily
be set by hand cranage
requirements are minimised, providing
significant savings on construction costs.
- When panels are clamped together using Minima
clamps up to 25m²
can be lifted by crane thereby
increasing the productivity of the system because
the ganged form can be used multiple times.
- Minima clamps are easily tightened without
much force, thus prolonging their working life
and reducing the
labour requirement to fix the panels.
The clamps also make for easy panel-to-panel connection.
- Fewer ties
are required on Minima than some other systems;
this reduces tie costs and construction times.
- Minima inner corners have a 2-degree stripping
clearance, allowing panels
to be easily removed once concrete
curing is finished.
- The large range of panel sizes minimizes
the need for traditional make-up pieces
saving construction time.
- There are a number of internal and external
corner panels, some of which are hinged, this
further adds to Minima's versatility in adapting
to most building structures.
Minima can be used within any
construction sector on a variety of applications,
including:
- Walls
- Columns
- Buttresses
- Culverts
- Abutments and piers
- Service cores
- Basements
The Minima system has significant
benefits in comparison to traditional shuttering
and most other panel systems, and it has the backing
of RMD's extensive worldwide resources.
