An ideal method for accurately siting
formwork prior to forming a wall or
upstand, thus replacing the need to
form a full concrete kicker. The
anchor is pushed into the fresh
concrete along the approximate
centre line of the wall to be
concreted. Concrete end caps (cover
50mm) are used to cover the ends of
the threaded rod. Each rod can be
accurately adjusted against the line
of formwork.

BEAM-FORM
Disposable Formwork for
Ground Beams and Pile
Caps
Polypropylene sheets provide contractors with a
fast and effective means of forming ground
beams and pile caps.
Sheets are light-weight and can be shaped by
scoring and bending to form any ground beams
on pile cap profile.
Advantages
 easily handled – light and rigid
 generally requires less excavation than
other formwork methods
 can be scored and bent, or cut to form
any profile
 can be supplied „made-to-measure‟,
ready to install
 can be installed by unskilled labour
 a sharp knife is the only tool required
 less concrete wastage
 no striking – beam formwork is left in
position
 no conventional formwork to strip, clean
and oil
Installation
1 Forming Beam Sides only
The foundation trench is excavated a little
oversized and a suitable base is formed onto
which the reinforcement is placed using track or
concrete block spacers.
The beam formwork is cut into strips of the
required size and is placed either side of the
reinforcement with spacers fixed as shown to
give the required concrete coverage. The sides
can have a small bent return at the base to aid
stability. Then, uniformly backfill to within about
50mm of the top of the beam form.
2 Using a Preformed U-Section
A U-section can easily be formed by scoring and
bending the polypropylene sheet to the required
dimensions. Erection is similar to Method 1
except the preformed U-section is placed in the
excavated trench first, followed by the
reinforcement. Spacers, depending upon the
type used, can be fitted to either the beam
formwork or the reinforcement as convenient.
To form a continuous beam, the ends of each
section of the formwork can either be overlapped
or butted together and taped using a PVC tape.
Note: Spacers for both sides and base should be at a
maximum of
400mm c/c.
Item Unit
Disposable Formwork 4.5m x 2.4m x 8mm
Beam Form Tape 33mm Roll
Cutting Knife Each
Beam formwork can be supplied as follows:
1 In 4.5 x 2.4 sheets, which can be cut or scored andbent on site by
contractors
2 When using sides only Beamform can be cut into strips to the
contractors dimensions and delivered to site ready for use
3 Formed into U-sections to suit site requirements and delivered „flat
packed‟.
Accessories
 Continuous plastic spacer is an ideal spacer for ground beam
form work and is highly recommended.
 Mesh Fix spacers are a good alternative.
 Square bar spacers provide a sound support on the base of a
ground beam. Recommeded for heavy beam cages.

Bentorub
Bentorub Hydroswelling Waterstop
consists of bentonite clay and butyl

construction joints in concrete. The
system is ecological, user friendly
and will remain permanently active
within the joint for the expected life of
the structure. As concrete cures,
shrinkage will occur, with voids and
small cracks appearing in the
construction. When in contact with
water Bentorub expands and will fill
these voids or cracks thereby
maintaining a watertight seal of the
joint. Held in place by shot firing or
with a bento-cage.

Steel Mesh Barrier Mk II
(Registered Design)
Steel Mesh Barrier has been the forerunner in edge
protection for over a decade, inspiring a completely
new way of looking at temporary fall prevention
systems within the construction industry.
This new design of Steel Mesh Barrier incorporates
all of its previous benefits whilst being stronger,
more durable, adjustable and lighter! It has also
been designed 10 cm
shorter for ease of transport and handling.
The Steel Mesh Barrier is now available in 2
standard sizes, 2.6m and 1.3m.

SCAFFSTEP
The SCAFFSTEP™ is a step-up device, designed to
enable a scaffolder to reach up to erect and dismantle
scaffolding in a safe manner. The scaffolder is prevented
from falling by a guardrail that is already in place, and the
SCAFFSTEP™ utilises a ledger above which eliminates
the need for additional components to be used.
SCAFFSTEP™ can be used in any position along the
guardrail, not just at the standard; giving the user the
flexibility to attach the SCAFFSTEP™ at the optimum
position along the platform.
The feet at the bottom of the SCAFFSTEP™ are
adjustable to accommodate different guardrail heights, and
together with a nonslip working surface, provides the
scaffolder with a safe working platform when working with
tube and fitting, as well as all systems using tubular
ledgers.
The SCAFFSTEP™ is often used in pairs, with two
operatives working together, particular on longer facades
Net Barrier System
The increasing bay sizes, greater eave heights, and a
movement towards curved standing seam roofs on steel
framed structures, when combined with the generally
accepted improvisation culture within edge protection,
have raised serious questions about the performance of
existing edge protection solutions. Two events have
produced dramatic change in this area of work: The
publication of a European Performance Standard for
Temporary Edge Protection, and the launch of the Net
Barrier System.
Preguard
PREGUARD™ is an advanced guardrail system,
enabling scaffolders, using either tube and fitting or
system scaffold, to install collective edge protection
on the lift above prior to commencement of work on
the next level.
Using telescopic guardrails attached to
an innovative vertical post, PREGUARD™ removes
the need to work at height without guardrail
protection.
Alsipercha
Safety system designed to prevent falls from height
during the decking for horizontal formwork operation.
This is a “0” factor fall arrest system that is
particulary useful on PERIMETERS. It provides total
safety when placing: decking
panels, edge protection, slab edges, stop ends and
generally all situations that may arise during the
formworking process, where there is a risk of a fall
from height.
It is easy to assemble and use. No external
accessories are required

SMB STAIRS
Temporarily protecting the edges of stairways during
construction has previously been complicated and
expensive. The varied nature of the stairs, landings, and
returns, often required many cut tubes, sharp ends, and
much purpose built protection. The new Steel Mesh Barrier
Stair (SMB Stair) has be designed to solve these
problems, offering a systemised solution that can
stand alone or integrate with either SMB system.
The SMB Stair provides continuous edge protection along
staircases, and at returns the Gap Closer ensures
continuity and protects any sharp edges. The landings are
protected using the
SMB system, linking seamlessly to the SMB Stair. The
SMB Stair is supported on the adjustable posts, and can
be fitted to any angle of permanent or temporary stairway.
It can also be raised
to allow access to work on the outside edge of the stair
unit. The SMB Stair is a single component, and can be
fitted to either side of the staircase
Needle Propping
Alongside the major Façade Retention schemes,
Formwork Direct provides the same proactive
approach to smaller needling, propping and general
shoring requirements within existing structures.
Works carried out include projects from major multi-
storey back-propping through to needling to allow the
removal of load bearing walls and the formation of
new openings.
Formwork Direct can tailor a bespoke solution for
your project. Depending on the size of the project,
our needling schemes most commonly make use of
our 200 kln ranges or, 100 kln props for smaller
jobs, Formwork Direct proprietary needling system
can provide temporary support whilst permanent
lintels are installed.
Facade Retention
Formwork Direct has provided solutions to a wide
variety of Façade Retention requirements throughout
the UK. We regularly produce and execute schemes
in tight city centre situations where both space for
construction and accurate information regarding the
existing structure are restricted.
Solutions are engineered to be least intrusive to both
the public and the reconstruction of the building,
external cantilever systems can be portalised to
allow pedestrian access through the frame, site
cabins can be built into the structure saving space on
site.

SYSTEM SCAFFOLD
FORMWORK PANEL SYSTEM
System Scaffold
General Application for System
Scaffold
In all applications, system scaffolds in
general they have several advantages
over traditional tube and fitting scaffolds.
This is illustrated by the ever-increasing
use of this type of scaffold in the
construction environment, and the trend
within the scaffolding industry away from
tube and fittings when replacing or
increase stocks of materials.
Formwork direct is aware of this situation
and offers a comprehensive supplier
service based on various systems. System
scaffolding has a wide variety of
applications, and major benefits to the
customer include:
Speed - The in-built joints, clearly
identifiable components and the strong,
simple wedge connections, guarantee a
faster erection time.
Safety - In the very earliest stages of the
erection process, the wedge connections
ensure that ledgers and braces are
secured to the standards, and there is no
risk of materials falling. The wedge lock
system guarantees that all ledgers and
diagonal braces are secured immediately
they are placed. This allows immediate,
safe erection by just one person at any
height. The system scaffold enables a
reduction in material usage as compared
to traditional scaffolding, for instance it
dispenses with the need for ledger bracing
in many applications.
Our Sales Team can offer you the best
scaffolding solutions for your job.

Industrial Applications
In the Industrial field, system scaffold has
proved its advantages in many locations. It
allows working platforms, whether in the
form of towers, birdcages or hanging
scaffolds, to be quickly formed to facilitate
all maintenance and installation of
insulation, and construction projects.
In power stations and chemical plants,
where installations and pipelines require
regular checks and maintenance, the
significantly faster erection times result in a
great benefit in terms of reduced shutdown
times. In these cases, and particularly when
an unforeseen disruption occurs, system
scaffolds help to minimise downtime, their
inherent safety and fast construction are a
great advantage.
Where scaffolds are required for access
inside tanks and ovens system scaffolding
offers several significant advantages over
traditional tube and fitting scaffold:
Where access is restricted by the
need to pass materials through
manholes or other such small
openings, the compact size of
system components makes
handling easier.
When working in conditions of poor
lighting or extremes of
temperature, the built in fixings and
simple erection procedure makes
for faster and safer erection.
Due to its fixed length components
and built-in node points, system
scaffolding is particularly well
suited for use in circular or
spherical tanks and vessels.

systems for hire and for sale.
