The world‘s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa

in Dubai, is rising skyward using MEVA´s slab

formwork MevaDec: crane-free and without

refacing for several hundred re-uses.

Better Beats GoodBy the Inventor of the Clamp System

The driving force behind formwork innovationThe MEVA brand originated from market demands! Builders were looking for highquality formwork that could be used on any site. In 1970, MEVA – the acronym for MetallVerArbeitung (metal processing) – began producing the first craneindependent MEVA panel forms. This introduced a costeffective and technically advanced alternative to the costly onsite formwork solutions typical at the time.

Inventor of the clampMEVA soon developed innovative momentum, bringing new technical impulses to the industry. Inventions and developments made by MEVA, many of them patented, have become industry standard. To name just a few: the closed profile for frame formwork, the multi function profile and the world´s first clamp. It connects and aligns formwork panels with just a few hammer blows.

The German-based MEVA Group is geared to serve the needs of the international construction commu-

nity. A lean organization with 40 locations in 30 countries across the globe, well-developed logistics,

highly qualified staff and engineering capacities are setting the pace all over the world. Shown here: the

company´s headquarters in the Northern Black Forest region in Germany.

Compliance with Construction Safety Standards of occupational Safety & Health AdministrationWorker safety and protection are fundamental requirements in MEVA`s product development process. All MEVA systems comply with relevant safety standards. Many features were engineered specifically to comply with OSHA standards.

The tie-off bars on all MEVA wall formwork panels comply with OSHA safety standards.

o.S.H.A Safety Standards

rentalPlus: Insured rental with no Follow-Up CostsRentalPlus is an insurance policy offered for all rented formwork material. It covers follow-up costs that are incurred when the job is finished. An easy monthly or flat rate covers everything including cleaning and repair. Only damage beyond repair or lost material is not covered.

No more Charges for re-FacingOften, the most expensive part of all follow-up costs is the replacement of worn-out plywood facing, since ply-wood cannot be repaired when dam-

Cut Costs with rentalPlusaged. RentalPlus and the all-plastic facing used by MEVA eliminates re-facing costs. Cleaning and repairing the formwork are included; even damaged sections can be replaced easily.

Safe Calculation, Less rental CostsWith RentalPlus, the jobsite no longer has to provide time and space to check rented inventory prior to returning it. There´s no cleaning effort, so the rental period can be shortened. That saves: rental time and cost man hours and cost space and crane time delays and interruptions on site

MEVA pioneered the development of the closed, hollow frame profile. Today, it´s state of the art. It is the backbone of sturdy, high-load formwork panels in all MEVA systems. The closed hollow pro-file prevents concrete from getting trap-ped inside. This makes cleaning easier.

Automobile standards in rust protectionMEVA was the first to innovate pro-duction with automotive technolo-gies. Steel profiles are primed with autophore tic coating (ACC) and all profile cavities are sealed with wax.

The MEVA assembly lock (clamp)The clamp has no losable parts. It joins and aligns them with just a few hammer blows. It can be placed anywhere on the frame which is a huge advantage on uneven ground.

The articulated flange nutAnother invention of MEVA´s: The flange screw used to attach accessories to the multifunction profile – a feature unique to MEVA´s panelized systems – is equipped with an articulated head that makes tightening and loosening much easier and faster. Furthermore, tilting the panels is no problem.

The Benefits at a Glance Quality is Safety. Safety is Efficiency. Efficiency is Profit.

A sturdy, rigid formwork panel is easier and safer to handle than competitor systems that are prone to twist out of shape.

The closed, hollow profile doesn´t trap concrete, thus making it easier to clean and reducing cleaning time.

Concrete has a passionate chemical affinity for galvanized surfaces. It sticks so hard, you need force to get it off. The MEVA profile is immune to this effect. Concrete doesn´t stick and can be removed easily.

The frame has premium protection against corrosion since it´s primed and coated like Mercedes car bodies. Poor quality, rusty panels spoil the concrete finish. Avoid this cost risk by choosing quality.

Easy Work is Safe Work. Safe is Faster.Speed is Efficiency. Efficiency is Profit.

In contrast to plywood, the all-plastic facing achieves a better concrete finish. It´s thus easier to achieve architectural concrete finish and high qua-lity with every concrete pour (right).

Conventional facing (left) cannot prevent pores and uneven surfaces.

100 % Wood-Free Facing10 Years Later: the revolution Continues

The patented all-plastic facing is a polyproylene

sandwich construction (layers 1 and 3) reinforced

by a thin aluminium foil (layer 2). The facing is

resistant to UV rays, climatic influences, on-site

chemicals, swelling and shrinking. It doesn´t rot

and cannot decay.

Putting an end to plywood waste in formworkThe introduction of the world´s first 100 % wood-free facing in 2000 started a new age in formwork. For ten years now, MEVA has employed this new tech-nology in all of its products, all over the world. Experience counts!

End of re-facing costsReplacing worn-out plywood sheets is now a thing of the past. No more waste. Get the job done without interruptions. No more unnecessary freight costs, no down-times and no hassles in work flow. No more chemical coatings that make disposal dangerous and expen-sive. Besides better quality, the all-plas-tic innovation saves time and money.

The advantages No swelling and shrinking Nailable like plywood No re-facing – no hidden costs Easy and quick to clean Repairable using the same material Better concrete finish

repairable – even on siteThe all-plastic facing is a revolutionary product that can be repaired using the identical material. This is the ultimate quality benefit, since damages to the facing no longer disrupt work flow or impact on the concrete finish. Repairs can be done on site.

Easy cleaning. Clean the panels with a normal high psi pressure washer (it would destroy plywood). This improves pour quality and reduces down time, thus improving work flow. Moreover: having clean panels on each pour dramatically improves the concrete finish.

Less release agent. Better results.The site will need only a fraction of the release agent typically used, reducing consumable costs. What´s more, the concrete finish improves dramatically.

Impossible with ply-

wood, easy with the

all-plastic facing alkus:

It can be repaired. This

is done using the same

polypropylene materi-

al. A special repair set

includes all the tools

the site will need.

Better results. Less Hassle.

Contractors report up to 70 % less cleaning

effort and cost, since the panels can be cleaned on

site using a normal 500 bar high-pressure washer.

Superior results first time, every time. Unlimited

in re-uses. The all-plastic facing maintains a con-

stantly high quality in any climate.

Push-pull props and steel rails are attached with flange screws to Dywidag threaded nuts

welded into the multi-function profiles. Scaffold brackets are quickly attached with their

integrated self locking pin. The worker is able to attach each part in one step. Position the

part with one hand and attach it – using the flange screw – with the other.

The galvanized lifting hooks are used for fast loading and unloading as well as for trans-

porting entire form stacks. The lift ing hooks are used in addition with a four-rope crane

slings and are self-locking with a gravity pin. The maximum load capacity per lifting hook is

2,200 lbs.

Pilasters are easily formed using inside corners, panels (standard and/or multi-purpose),

rails, column clamps and, where necessary, some wooden blocking.

Gaps up to 3” are formed with 1”, 2” and 3” aluminum fillers without additional steel rails.

An alternate method of forming gaps is with the use of wooden job-built fillers and a steel

rail. The Uni assembly lock will span a maximum gap of 6”. The bulk head bracket is an

easy and economical method for bulk heads of walls without using any tie rod. Bulk head

brackets are available in two sizes for wall thick nesses up to 30”.

Acute and obtuse angled corners are formed using articulated inside and outside corners.

Steel rails are attached to the multi-function profiles of the outside corner assembly to pro-

vide alignment. Adjustment range: 70° to 220°.

The Imperial inside corner is provided with tie holes and consists of two parts. The steel

face is replaceable. The outside corner is connected to the panels with MEVA assembly

locks.

The multi-purpose panel is used to form pilasters, corners,

columns, bridge abutments and connections to existing

walls. The panels have multi-adjustment profiles for mount-

ing column clamps or ties. This enables forming columns in

increments of 2”, with a range from 2” to 3’-2”.

The support frames STB 300 and STB 450 allow pouring against existing structures. They are another example of MEVA engineering setting new standards in formwork technology.

Unbeaten in height: where others stop, STB 450 goes higher, achieving up to 40 feet.

Unbeaten in efficiency: where other systems have to be dismounted to upgrade height, you simply stack units on top.

Unbeaten in Height: 40 Feet in one Pour

The STB 450 system is so slender – measuring only 8 ft at base – that it easily fits into confined (e.g. inner city) spaces; the Triplex braces enable the site go as high as 40 feet. In addition, the system allows forming single-sided corners.

This saves time and money on site, reducing labor costs, crane time and down-time.

The design of the STB 450 system is more compact at the bottom – helpful on confined construction sites and for easy transport.

The frames transfer concrete pres-sure into the anchor which is cast in the foundation.It is really simple to attach the MEVA Imperial wall formwork system to the support frames, since only flange screws are needed for a safe connection.

STB / kLk

The climbing scaffold KLK 230 consists of climbing brackets, wall struts, platform and guard-railing. It serves as support platform for wall formwork. The KLK 230 is ideally suited for industrial and civil engineering high-rise buildings bridge and infrastructure projects

The roll-back system allows jumping the form-work and the platform as a unit which guaran-tees safety and saves time. The carriage can be slid back by 2’-3’’ which provides enough work-ing space for cleaning and rebar works.

The MEVA climbing system is strong enough to handle wall formwork up to a height of 24’. The concrete pressure is transferred through braces into the KLK bracket and from there into the existing structure. The width of 7’-7’’ provides com fortable working space for person-nel. The KLK 230 is an efficient and econo m ical climbing system which can also be used for single-sided applications.

The slide carriage allows sliding the formwork back by 2’-3’’

from the wall without a crane. Platform and formwork

remain connected as one unit. The overall platform width

of 7’-7’’ provides sufficient working space even with the

carriage slid back.

The MEVA Guided Screens System MGS is MGC‘s twin system. Highest safety is guaranteed by full side protection, enhanced by several technical advantages: spacing of brackets is variable level heights from 10’ to 14’ secondary platforms attachable

to any bracket integrated access system

The MGS is also assembled at ground level: All parts are lifted into the guard rails from below, this maximizes safety and saves time.

MGC: Guided & SafeMEVA‘s Guided Climbing System MGC com-prises wall formwork and safety platforms as a single unit. It remains securely attached to the building structure during building and lifting. Thus, wind velocities do not affect the building process. Assembly is done at ground level for improved safety and speed. MGC is designed to meet high standards in safety for high-rise con-struction and complements the proven MEVA climbing scaffold KLK. This is how it works: The starter needs a height of only 10’- 8“; the climbing shoe is mounted to the cast-in cone. The forms are closed for pouring. The inside forms are lifted by crane and guide rail extensions are assembled at ground level. After the crane lift, forms are moved away by carriage, access extension is assembled.

tThe MGC advantage: Bracket extensi-

ons, secondary platforms, ladder extensions

etc. are mount ed from ground level below –

under simple and safe assembly conditions.

Guided climb ing with MGC ensures highest

safety for high-rise construction projects,

withstanding wind velocities up to 45 mph.
