Circular Formwork Roflex® Light Flat Formwork Cofiber®The Metalusa walls circular formwork system was devel-oped to respond to a type of construction that uses dif-ferent curvatures such as silos, waste water treatment plants, access ramps to multi-storey car parks and other circular structures.
This type of construction is usually highly complex and it requires a great deal of labour, considerably increasing the attendant costs. The Metalusa circular formwork system increases profitability and cuts labour costs.
CIRCULARFORMWORK SYSTEM
LIGHT FLAT FORMWORK
Cofiber® is a light formwork system comprising a small number of components.
The primary beams are called assembly beams and the secondary beams are called support beams.
In addition to these two metallic elements there is a shoring rule and the tricot panel as a final element which is 27mm thick.
The system encompasses other secondary elements to allow the flat formworking of solid slabs, fungiform slabs or CoCo slabs.
Cofiber® light formwork is the practical, rational solution for rapid formwork for flat slabs with the highest pro-ductivity indices.

Saftec® Working PlatformsThe Forteko® vertical formwork system allows the form-working of columns and foundations without using any extra components.
The assembly of Forteko® vertical formwork in the shape of windmill blades allows the formation of columns with variable pitches every 5cm until attaining 120cm.
The Modutec® columns formworking system is a modular system which is wholly compatible with Modutec® vertical formwork and with the need for few elements, ensuring a high yield and total safety in the works at the works’ site.
The implementation of circular formworking from standard galvanised steel components is straightforward with Pilco® pillars formworking.
Metalusa project engineers developed the system in such a way as to allow the incorporation of other me-tallic elements by means of simple, rapid connections to carry out complex engineering works.
