Assembly, Erection and Stripping
Concrete Placement
Before placing concrete, the user
should inspect all formwork to
ensure proper placement and secure
connections of ties and hardware.
The maximum lateral concrete
pressure shall be as indicated in
this manual (or on MEVA formwork
drawings if provided), taking into
account all limiting factors and
details of the formwork layout. Job
built components incorporated into
the layout may limit the pressure
further.
It is the user's responsibility to
adjust the pour rate and placement
methods in accordance with ACI
347 for the concrete mixture and
specific jobsite conditions at the
time of placement so that the
maximum lateral concrete pressure
is not exceeded.
Stripping and Disassembly
Formwork shall not be stripped
until the requirements of the project
specifications have been met. If
braces were installed on the first
side only, strip the second side
formwork first. Remove all loose
objects such as tools from the
formwork.
For handset:
1. Remove planking and walkway
brackets.
2. Remove ties and assembly locks
for panel being stripped
(caution:
panel will be loose once ties and
hardware are removed),
and immediately remove panel
(Fig.53.1).
3. Proceed with stripping the
remaining panels (Fig.53.2).
4. Clean formwork as required and
apply form release agent before
next use.
