Information graphic - MAX FRANK offers a comprehensive range of distance tubes with suitable sealing options for their openings in the concrete wall. We give an overview of the sealing variants of tie holes.

In larger building projects, crane foundations are integrated directly into the floor slab and are the first areas to be concreted. Stremaform^® is useful to get connected and sealed this construction situation.

Sheet piles are used as permanent or temporary support of excavations. Pecafil^® formwork acts as a sacrificial back shutter for the concrete liner wall, the sheet piles are spanned and do not need to be filled with concrete.

Infographic: Traditional timber formwork is still often used for cold joints. By comparison, ready-to-install formwork systems improve the quality and cost effectiveness of the joint.

For the "Stuttgart 21" traffic construction project, chalice-shaped pillars are being built for the roof of the main railway station. In order to ensure compliance with the concrete covering, spacers made of fibre concrete are used on the reinforcement of the columns.

The location of the new administration building of Südwestmetall Esslingen posed a major challenge for the architects. The geometry of the vineyards is also reflected in the building’s architecture.

As the market leader in formwork elements, MAX FRANK guarantees a ready-to-install product engineered in Germany in Stremaform^®. Download the new best practice guide now!

The requirements for shuttered fair-faced concrete surfaces are particularly high for representative structural elements in building construction. For this purpose, spacers with a minimum contact area are recommended in order to avoid marking the contact points.
