Adjustable supporting frames

Description

The system of adjustable supporting frames by Variant is used for forming single-sided walls such as retaining walls, dam walls etc. Shear forces which appear on the formwork shutters due to fresh concrete pressure, are held and redistributed on the base by means of adjustable supporting frames and diagonal anchors. Single-sided adjustable supporting system allows walls with the required pouring-height up to 4.00 m to be formed.

Load-bearing capacity:

Owing to its load-bearing flexibility, the Single-sided adjustable supporting system can be assembled and customized for different pressure of fresh concrete required, up to 50 kN/m².

Areas of use of the single-sided adjustable supporting system:

Retaining walls.
Dam walls.
Stop-end of walls and slabs with large thickness.
Walls of great thickness, in this case single-sided system is to be installed on both sides.
Walls where there is no place for installation of opposite formwork shutter (double-sided system).

System adaptability:

Easily combines with Variant’s wall systems, such as, framed formwork Varimax and timber-beam formwork Vertex 60.

Cost-effective:

Can be assembled, dismantled and repositioned by hand.
Large-areas of single-sided wall can be easily cast.
High durability resulting in lower the expense.
Low cleaning cost and restoration.
Powder coated steel elements, for long service life.

Easy handling and planning

All the connectors and accessories are easily fixed into the slots and quickly tighten, consequently forming time is efficient and maximized.
Any requirements for architectural concrete design can be met.

Safe use

Accessories such as — bracing platform makes for save and easier handling of the system.

The adjustable supporting units are formed by combining of steel section elements, waling's 12, spindle struts in one block. The adjustable units must be correctly braced with scaffold tubes to attain the stated capacity.

There are 2 types of modular units which can be formed:
