FLEXEL

1 - CHARACTERISTICS

The FLEXEL formwork is designed to create curved walls in various contexts, such as buildings, basins and circular pits with fixed or variable radii. Its structure is entirely in welded steel, with a formwork face in 4 mm thick sheet metal, offering high resistance to concrete pressure. It is suitable for radii from 2.00 m, and its bending is facilitated by mechanical jacks. Each element is fitted with a fully integrated folding safety device, guaranteeing user safety.

2 - ADVANTAGES

Small and large radii : The DEKO FLEXEL formwork can be used for all curved walls with a radius of 2.00 m or more.

Precise curvature: The geometry of the stiffeners and the arrangement of the jacks eliminate any facet effect.

Efficient assembly: Thanks to the PERFORM/FLEXEL lock system, assembly is quick and simple, allowing furring from 0 to 8 cm to be inserted.

3 - FORMWORK PRINCIPLE

Once bent, the FLEXEL panels are assembled centred along the same axis, with elements measuring 2.32 m on the inside and 2.40 m on the outside. To compensate for the differences in perimeter between the inside and outside, a wooden furring strip must be inserted between each panel. The width of this furring varies according to the radius and is placed on the inside of the formwork for large curves or on the outside for small curves.

4 - AREAS OF APPLICATION

Buildings : Creating curved walls in complex architectural constructions.

Ponds: Construction of reservoirs or ponds with rounded shapes.

Circular pits: Designing pits for technical infrastructures, water treatment plants, etc.
