EW N Reusable modular formwork for columns www.geoplast.it GEOPANEL STAR® - ADVANTAGES SYSTEM FOR COLUMNS 20 to 100 cm GEOPANEL® STAR is a reusable formwork made of high-strenght ABS to form reinforced concrete square and rectangular columns. The Panels are joined with the standard Geoplast fast-lock nylon handles in order to form a “star”-shaped intersection. GEOPANEL® STAR is an extremely light formwork system, fast and easy to assemble, for square and rectangular columns with side from 20 to 100 cm, pile caps and walls of various sizes. INSTALLATION AND DISMANTLING Installation and dismantling are simple and fast thanks to the extremely light weight of this formwork so that it can be easily moved around in the jobsite. The panels are easily joined using nylon handles that lock with a simple 90° turn. MODULARITY GEOPANEL® STAR is a series of 3 modular panels of 60 cm hight. Panels have holes to modulate the sides of columns. STORAGE GEOPANEL® STAR, made of ABS (a hig
h impact resistant polymer) can be easily dismantled and can be stored even in humid places and outdoor. HANDLING ON SITE The system is easily handled on-site without using a crane and in any site condition. RESULT The surface of reinforced concrete formed with GEOPANEL® STAR doesn’t need any further rework. REUSABLE GEOPANEL® STAR is reusable. Concrete doesn’t stick to plastic, thus the forms are easily cleaned with water, avoiding any detergents or lubricants. 2 GEOPANEL STAR® - COMPARISON THE INTELLIGENT ALTERNATIVE TO TRADITIONAL SYSTEMS TIMBER FORMWORK Non-modular CHARACTERISTICS METAL FORMWORKS GEOPANEL® STAR Modular and compatible with the Geopanel System Light MODULARITY Modular WEIGHT Fairly light Long, sometimes the plumbing, sometimes the result is not perfect Irregular surface Must be stored in a dry environment Low YES (eleasing agents are necessary) Heavy PLUMBING Fast, requires specific props Fast, does not require specific props CONCRETE FIN
