Speed Form
Overview
Adding to Lesa Systems’ range of permanent metal formwork systems is Speed-Form™, an alternative to timber formwork/boxing that does not require removal!
Speed-Form™ has been designed by Lesa’s in house engineers to combat a growing market resistance to light roll-formed products such as metal Key Joints (which Lesa also sell) that are often used outside their limitations. Key Joints, (unless made with timber, and then can’t be used in monolith pours), do not stand up to the commercial / industrial floor markets punishment, and have a reputation of being flimsy and unstable which cause all sorts of issues on the day of the pour, not to mention the expensive remedial work to bad concrete joints, and critical shear dowel alignment issues.
Speed-Form™ is a two piece permanent metal formwork system that uses Lesa’s “Ground Pin” fixing system for rapid, stable and easy installations. This unique system gives the contractor an option of monolith pours, while adhering to the designer’s joint layout, with a product that will not bend, flex or displace during concrete placement.
Speed-Form™ is supplied in easy to handle 3 metre lengths to suit many slab thicknesses and is comes complete with dowels, sleeves, fixing pins and splices in one complete assembly.
Speed-Form™ is simply set to height using the adjustable Pin & Lock System. Once installed no other action is required by the contractor as Speed-Form™ is left in place, so there is no formwork stripping, cleaning or oiling required.
Speed-Form™ is suitable to floor joints and areas where medium joint protection is required from spalling, monolith pours or where a rapid installation is required. Speed-Form can also be used as an edge form.
