Iglu disposable formwork

26 Iglù®: excellence Non-deformability of the preforms and real concrete consumption Iglù®: arch effect and modularity Iglù® is manufactured according to high standards of quality; it is not subject, during or after casting, to dangerous deformations resulting from the weight of the concrete and the dynamic effect of the work operations, i.e. the load of the fresh concrete, pressure from casting compression and vibration, and the weight of people and equipment. Therefore, the geometry of the under-fl oor cavity and the real consumption of concrete are conserved. Low-cost formworks are produced using a lesser quantity of substandard material in order to keep costs down. This results in an obvious thinning of the thicknesses and of the structure, leading to signifi cant deformation of the product under the pressure of the casting and an increase in the use of concrete, which ultimately increases costs. This creates a FALSE perception of savings in an underhand manner, as the person using these low-cost formworks is convinced of the savings, but ends up spending more. VIDE SANITAIRE AVEC IGLU’®: VIDE SANITAIRE AVEC COFFRAGE ÉCONOMIQUE : The quality and specifi city of the raw material used (Alaplen®), the particular form, size, thickness, and surface quality, the care taken in the packaging, the ease of assembly, the strength and processing techniques make Iglù® the product par excellence. Features that make Iglù® Plus even more exciting. Nombreux sont les prix nationaux et internationaux reçus au cours des années qui témoignent de la contribution importante et appréciable que l’Iglù® a réussi à donner au monde des constructions : Prix pour l'Innovation Technologique du Bâtiment "Construmat 95" Barcelone, Prix Carnia Alpe Adria "100 projets les plus verts d'Italie", PrIx Entreprise Environnement 2006. Tout aussi nombreuses sont les Certifi cations de Produit et de Système qui démontrent aussi bien la qualité du produit, que l'importance de ses solutions de construction et des applications dans le monde du bâtiment. Tout cela, ainsi que ce qui suit, confi rme l'Iglù® comme un produit de référence pour les opérateurs et les professionnels. The arch is the most classic «pressing structure». Early Romans adopted this static solution to create large openings without compromising structure resistance. Iglù®, due to its exclusive shape, provides the concrete casting with maximum structural performance, thanks to the arch effect; therefore with an equal slab thickness or, if we want, with an equal static performance a thinner slab and therefore reduced use of concrete. The 50x50 cm modularity of Iglù® makes it possible to immediately simulate the calculation thanks to its perfect geometries and exactly identify the minimum points of thickness. Guaranteed results and operator safety SAFETY (Leg. decree 81/08) Most work-related accidents, the scale of which is becoming increasingly alarming, take place in the construction industry. Iglù® guarantees a minimum dry breaking resistance of 150 Kg concentrated on an arch positioned between adjacent legs by means of an 8 x 8 pressure plate. Observing the specifi c requirements of use ensures pedestrian access during the positioning and casting of reinforced concrete in full compliance with Legislative Decree 81/08. Iglù® Plus fi nally brings safety to the highest level; the guaranteed minimum rupture load is 200 Kg concentrated on an 8 x 8 cm surface on any portion of the cap. The production process is continuously subjected to a rigorous quality control system. Iglù® is in possession of numerous studies and tests measuring the circulation of air in the cavity, calculation tables approved by engineers from certifying bodies, and calculation procedures for the interaction with the ground to be applied in the event of heavy loads. After a few Iglù® modules have been positioned, they can be walked on. Thanks to its arch form, Iglù® provides greater resistance guaranteeing pedestrian accessibility before concrete casting, also when walking directly on the centre of the arch. www.baygar.com
