Sheet 3 ALUMINIUM BEAMS LIGHTWEIGHT EXTRUDED SECTIONS Introduction Aluminium Beams combine the benefits of strength, lightness and the ease of handling with consistency, versatility and exceptional durability. With a wide range of accessories, the beams form a complete system that can be used in numerous configurations and applications. RMD Kwikform has a portfolio of three Aluminium Beams: Albeam, a 225mm deep heavy duty primary beam for slab support, with a very high bending and concentrated load capacity, Alform, a 150mm deep beam designed for wall formwork and secondary bearer for soffit support applications and Alsec, a more economical 150mm deep single web beam used for soffit support applications. For the ultimate in low cost system formwork, the 150mm deep Almini beam is available. Health and Safety Designers should make themselves familiar with the contents of Equipment Guidance Notes UIX10101 - Alform & Superslim Wall Formwork and Application Risk Assessments UIX20100 - Formwork. These documents are available to customers via hyperlinks embedded in PDF scheme drawings. Residual risks pertaining to design issues are marked in this document with the symbol and, if relevant to the scheme being prepared, should be highlighted on the RMDK scheme drawing. Design to EN Standards The majority of the Aluminium Beam components were designed before the conception of the EN design standards. Extensive use was made of BS8118 backed up by load testing. Allowable working loads were established using a lumped factor of safety of 1.7 on yield and 2 on failure, which is adequate to satisfy the requirements of EC9. To facilitate a simplified scheme design using established permissible load methods, load performance data in this document is displayed as an ‘Allowable Working Load’. Should Limit State Design be required, the Design Resistance may be obtained by multiplying the Allowable Working Load values by 1.5.

Sheet 8 ALUMINIUM BEAMS LIGHTWEIGHT EXTRUDED SECTIONS Plywood RMD Kwikform Plywood is manufactured from high quality pine veneers bonded together with a cross banded construction with phenolic resin. Sheets are supplied with the face grain parallel to the long edge of the board. Ply is manufactured from sustainable renewable sources and is certified by both the PEFC and FSC chain of custody schemes. It is certified by TECO to comply with the American standard PS 1-07 for Exterior bond and panel grade 1. RMD Kwikform Ltd is at present in the process of obtaining PEFC and FSC accreditation. Board Finishes Sheets are supplied in four finishes: Sanded, MDO, Standard Film and Premium Film. Sanded Finish An economical sheet with one side only having a smooth face without open defects. An ideal plywood where very few re-uses are required or the quality of the finish to the cast concrete is unimportant. MDO Grade The front face of the sheet is overlaid with a phenolic resin impregnated paper weighing 370g/m 2. which covers the natural face grain and gives a matt finish to the struck concrete. With careful site treatment MDO can be used for up to 20 fair faced uses. The rear of the sheet is overlaid with a 75-120g/m2 brown film with a phenolic resin content of 35% and provides a moisture barrier. Standard Film Grade Both front and rear faces of the sheet are overlaid with a 120g/m 2 brown film with a phenolic resin content of 35%. The film covers most of the natural face grain and gives a gloss finish to the struck concrete and produces good results for up to 20 pours. Premium Film Grade Both front and rear faces of the sheet are overlaid with a phenolic resin impregnated paper weighing 205g/m 2 and a robust 130g/m2 black phenolic resin film overlay. The overlays cover all the natural face grain and give a gloss finish to the struck concrete for 30 pours or more. Notes on Use • • • • • • Sheet edges are sealed during manufacture to prevent moisture penetration. Seal all cut edges to prevent moisture penetration which may otherwise cause degradation. We recommend the use of a release agent that has been formulated specifically for use with MDO grade boarding. Apply two coats of release agent to MDO Grade prior to first use. We recommend use of non-metallic tools to clean the forms to help prevent damage to the face. Although sheets are resistant to abrasion and impact, take care during cleaning and use to prevent surface damage. Select appropriate vibrators and techniques to protect the ply surface through all stages of use. Stated numbers of re-uses are for guidance purposes only and can not be guaranteed. Dispose of used plywood in accordance with applicable waste handling regulations.

Once the pour has reached the desired fill level, shut off the concrete pump, remove the R-Clip from the Pump Port and close off the Pump Port by striking the sliding closure plate until it is fully closed. Replace the R-Clip in the other side of this plate to secure it in position. 2. Disconnect the concrete pump coupler and release the pump from the Pump Port. 3. Wash out the wet concrete from the inside of the Pump Port. 4. Insert the Pump Port Plunger into the Pump Port and secure in place using the Concrete Pump Coupler. advance the plunger until it contacts the slider plate and back off 1/4 turn. 5. Remove the R-Clip from the sliding closure plate & strike the plate until it is fully open once again. Replace the R-Clip to secure this plate in the open position. 6. Advance the Pump Port Plunger until the captive washer hits the captive nut. The face of the plunger will now be fully engaged & flush with the plywood face. Wash any concrete or grout off the outside of the unit. 7. At the earliest possible time after concrete has taken a first set, undo the pump coupler and pull out the plunger. Clean all components thoroughly taking care to remove all grout from the inside of the bore. Oil the bore to protect against corrosion.
