The Single Sided Support Frame designed to be used with wall formwork element where it is not possible to tie them to the opposing formwork, This situation occurs, for example:
. Stop-end formwork for foundation slabs.
. Slurry walls and sheet-pile walls.
. Forming single sided retaining walls.
. Casting against masonry walls.
. Casting against insulating layers.
In Underground – railway construction projects where a subsequent concrete split-duct is cast against a bored diaphragm wall. The Single Sided Support Frame also used in the low-heat mass concrete field:
e.g. In power – station construction projects where wall thicknesses are so great that the elongation of the tie-rods that would take place means that it is no longer technically or economically viable to place through-ties.For supporting starter – block formwork used in dam-building.
This is an easy way to make Single sided support for Wall formwork up to 4.00 m max. height.
