A formwork system developed for one-way ribbed slabs for residential or industrial buildings www.geoplast.it SKYRAIL ADVANTAGES SAVINGS Thanks to the radical reduction of consumables, the system is amortised after a just few pours. SAFETY SKYRAIL is a completely self-supporting system that does not need any special safety features. It can be erected from below, maximising safety on the job site. TECHNOLOGY SKYRAIL allows to pour lighter slabs without having to incorporate any filler materials between the ribbing, thus giving the greatest structural efficiency. DISMANTLING As concrete does not stick to plastic cleansing of the formwork is done using just some water: the use of detergents and releasing agents is not necessary. REUSABLE Thanks to its robustness SKYRAIL can be reused. HANDLING The system is extremely light, it can be quickly disassembled and easily handled on site without requiring a crane. SKYRAIL can be compactly stored in limited space and does not suffer mois
ture. FLEXIBILITY OF USE The hollow created by SKYRAIL can be used for the passage of cable, wires, sanitary fittings and for the installation of lights and air conditioning systems. RESULTS Slabs made with SKYRAIL can be left in sight or plastered with standard paneling. 2 SKYRAIL COMPARISON TRADITIONAL HOLLOW CLAY BLOCK SLAB REUSABLE CHARACTERISTICS SKYRAIL HOLLOW CLAY BLOCK SAFETY The system is fully self-supporting Requires a slab form underneath and other applicable safety features The filler material is a consumable incorporated in the pour JUST ONE USE The dead weight of the filler material decreases the load bearing capacity of the slab The weight and fragility of the filler material make it slow to install Needs a large storage area The poured slab needs extra preparation for the installation of services 3 SAVINGS The system is completely amortised after just a few pours REUSABLE Eliminating the weight of incorporated filler materials the slab increases its load
bearing capacity. Its low weight makes the system easy and fast to erect. Can be stored compactly in limited space and does not suffer moisture. The installation of services, sanitary fittings, cables and so on becomes very easy.
