Wall formwork panel

Overview
Facade formwork Top 50 accelerates execution of pre-cast façade works for projects with integrated or set-back cast-in-place (CIP) columns. The system uses pre-cast members as stop-ends and offers integrated fall-arrest barrier options for safe and efficient on-site forming.

Key benefits

• Fast construction progress:
  • integrates column formwork for CIP columns to speed up sequence of works
  • uses pre-cast elements as stop-ends to reduce on-site operations and costs
  • allows slab-edge to be cast in advance to shorten programme times
  • ready for rapid on-site deployment after professional pre-assembly
• Safe workflows:
  • forming and stripping primarily performed from the safety of the floor slab
  • integral fall-arrest protection via scaffold-tube assembly covering the full opening, effective even with low pre-cast members
• Cost savings:
  • separation of façade and slab tasks reduces labour and material requirements
  • integrated fall-arrest barrier reduces the need for separate work and protection platforms

System
Top 50 eliminates the need to construct stop-ends at the slab edge by utilising pre-cast members as the stop-end. The system design allows integration of scaffold-tube based fall-arrest barriers and removes the need for working-platform railings in many applications, delivering substantial time and cost savings.

Application
Top 50 is suitable for projects using pre-cast façade elements where safe forming from the floor slab and integrated fall-arrest barriers are required. It is applicable both for integrated and set-back CIP columns and supports faster, safer, and more economical façade erection sequences.
