Curved walls made easy
Summary:
- Reflex is RMD Australia's solution for the cost effective forming of reinforced concrete curved walls.
- Reflex is a pre-assembled, adjustable panel that is easily and quickly adjusted for the setting of most curves.
- The Reflex system can be erected, stripped and re-positioned at speeds that provide significant reductions in labour costs.
- Safe and secure access platforms and guardrails keep workers safe during site operations.
REFLEX
- is an excellent solution for the forming of circular concrete walls, its clever design means it requires much less set-up time.
Traditional methods of curved wall construction
are labour intensive because of all the time needed
to constantly assemble, disassemble and modify the
system being used. Reflex is a pre-assembled, adjustable
panel that is easily and quickly adjusted for the
setting of all curves efficiently and accurately.
The key benefits
of the Reflex system are:
- The speed at which the Reflex system can be
erected, stripped and re-positioned provides significant
reductions in labour costs.
- Reflex is delivered
pre-assembled,
therefore there is no need for concern about losing
components and time for set-up is dramatically
reduced.
- Reflex provides a shorter
construction time than can be
delivered by conventional formwork systems.
- Reflex can be combined
for high pours and can be used
in a climbing configuration to cater for multi-pour
structures.
- It has a steel frame, which means it is strong,
withstanding concrete
pressures of up to 60KNm².
Furthermore it is galvanised and is thus easy
to maintain.
- It is easily adjusted
for re-use at site after site
without dismantling, which eliminates the risk
of component loss and improves on-site productivity.
- Its high-grade form ply face produces a good
quality concrete finish.
- Reflex access platforms and guardrails provide
a safe and secure
working platform during site operations.
The Reflex system has significant
benefits in comparison to traditional, alternative
methods of curve wall construction, and it has the
backing of RMD's extensive worldwide resources.
Testimonial
"....Over the past
eighteen months Whitsunday (Shire Council) has constructed
two water reservoirs of 0.36ML and 1.52ML capacities
using RMD's Reflex panel system. The work was carried
out by day labour and, with good office and site
support from RMD, our crew which was not used to
this type of work completed the projects efficiently
and within budget......I was very impressed with
the ease of aligning and joining the Reflex panel
system. This was made relatively easy by the design
of the required Reflex panel work by RMD which eliminated
any trial and error work by our crew."
