How-to's with MAX FRANK

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.

The use of the MAX FRANK controlled permanent formwork liner when concreting tunnel tubes enables an almost void-free, resistible concrete surface.

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.

Acoustic and thermal decoupling is important for quality of living when connecting multi-storey residential buildings via arcades.

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.

For optimum shear force transmission, load-bearing precast concrete sections can be connected to the internal structure using Egcobox^® thermal breaks.
