In urban areas, the supply & positioning of media ducts in road construction is becoming increasingly important. The universal formwork material Pecafil® in U-shape is particularly suitable as formwork for concreting due to its quick and easy installation.
When sealing the surface of bored concrete piles, a flat surface is required, which can be achieved with the installation of the Pecafil® permanent formwork.
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.
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.
Whether for force transmission, sealing or special component geometries – there is a great deal of variation in the execution of expansion joints. For that reason, the manufacture of this formwork on the building site is often complex, unreliable and time-consuming.
