Independent Forming

The Steel Ply style handset forming system is a pre-engineered, factory-built, reusable concrete forming system. It may be used in handset or gang form applications, for commercial or residential structures. The system can form walls of almost any shape or size, with accessories for special structures and details. This forming system is more productive and economical than job-built plywood formwork or other forming methods. It saves time because it is easy to set up and strip. No measuring, sawing, drilling, or nailing is required. The only tool required for setup and stripping is a hammer. The system saves materials unlike job-built formwork, which must be tailored for each specific pour. Steel Ply comes in a variety of standard sizes which can be combined to form virtually any dimension. Panels and fillers are made of specially laminated plywood mounted on steel frames. They can be used up to 200 times before replacing the plywood.

Estimating labor and materials becomes predictable; on the job performance becomes more consistent with pre-engineered panels. The laminated plywood panels fit tightly into the side rails produce a high quality concrete surface. This system is designed and engineered with a known strength factor, a major consideration for today’s jobsite safety.
