INDEX GEOPANEL System formwork for walls. Flat slab formwork. Adjustable square and rectangular formwork. GEOTUB PANEL Square and rectangular column formwork. Circular column formwork.

THE CONCEPT The Geoplast universal formwork system was designed to be light and simple for best productivity and ergonomics, reducing the environmental impact of costruction sites.

Plastics are extremely versatile materials and are now used in every sector of activity. Choosing the right polymer and skilfully engineering, the product will lead to amazing results. Since 2003 Geoplast offers the construction industry all the advantages of ABS formwork. User-friendly tools are safer, easier to use and more productive. It is a fact that repeated lifting of heavy equipment causes fatigue and injury. Geoplast formwork weighs on average 15 kg/m2 with no single element heavier than 11 kg: this means that the whole system can always be used by hand, in any situation. A...

Productivity is an important issue wherever concrete is poured. Whenever manual operation is the better option, the light and fast Geoplast formwork greatly improves speed and productivity compared both to metal formwork and traditional timber shuttering. ABS is a very strong polymer, impact and abrasion resistant. Geoplast formwork resists to a pressure of up to 80 kN/m2. The elements of the Geoplast system formwork are modular, designed to fit together in a large number of combinations to fit the exact requirements of each construction site. Concrete does not stick to the slick surface of...

THE PERFORMANCE OF ABS ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is well known for its impact resistance and toughness, and has excellent stability under load. It tolerates a wide range of temperatures and generally has useful characteristics from −20°C to +80°C, and particularly impact resistance does not fall off rapidly at lower temperatures. These properties make ABS the perfect material for the tough environment of construction sites, as proven by the Geoplast professional-grade formwork. Additionally, ABS is known for being hard, glossy and non-porous, providing an excellent surface...

THE UNIVERSAL FIXING ELEMENT FOR ALL GEOPLAST FORMWORK Nobody wants to waste time on their job. Geoplast developed its formwork system with a very clear and simple concept in mind: use as few different elements as possible. The use of polymers gave the chance to create an easy, light, yet very strong locking method using one simple, clever shape. The polymer chosen for the locking handles is a high resistance variant of the PA66 polymer (usually known as “Nylon”), one of the strongest commercially available plastics. Characteristic Operating temperature range ● Firmly locks with a simple...

WALL FORMWORK SYSTEM

THE GEOPANEL SYSTEM The whole idea behind Geopanel is simplicity. NO CRANE SELF-LEARNING WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS Geopanel is made to be versatile and it is used for walls, foundations, shafts, shear walls, as well as a roof-slab formwork (in combination with Geosky elements). The working of a formwork must be simple and intuitive. It literally takes just a few minutes to understand how Geopanel works: even unskilled personnel is able to start using it virtually right away. The concept is that one single person should be able to use formwork safely even working by himself and without a...

LIMITLESS VERSATILITY The Geopanel hand-held formwork panels have an almost infinite range of applications, providing best value when cranes or heavy-lifting equipment are not available. Whether renovating an historical building in the congested centre of a capital city, building the new home of a young family, casting the foundations of an industrial estate in a developing country or shuttering shear walls in a high riser, Geopanel is the useful tool that every building company, small or large, will find infinitely useful. WALLS, SHEAR WALLS ELEVATOR SHAFTS LINTELS AND RING BEAMS ENCASING...

THE SIMPLE WAY GEOPANEL WORKS Geopanel elements are connected by the universal locking handle. Opposite panels are connected using market-standard ø15/17 mm steel ties. Also available are lightweight, high-strength steel+PA66 anchor nuts to complete the set-up of the Geopanel hand-held formwork system. D B E A F Geopanel 120x60 easily forms walls at 0.6 m increments up to 3.6 m. The other panels in the Geopanel family allow for small and precise height adjustments.

CORNER CONFIGURATION Corners are easily formed with Geopanel as the system includes dedicated internal and external corner panels, which work together with different sized small Geopanel elements. GEOPANEL Internal Corner The standard Geopanel corner assemblies support forming of walls of thickness of 100 mm and greater, with increments of 50 mm and are available in height increments of 605 mm. Geopanel 120x60 elements - the standard building block of the formwork system - are always placed opposite one another to form walls and are aligned to allow tie-rods to pass through them. As the...

Forming the intersection of two walls of any thickness is very simple and straightforward with Geopanel. GEOPANEL Internal Corner Two internal corner panels are used to define the intersecting wall, while standard Geopanel elements are used to form the opposite wall surface. The standard Geopanel T-intersection wall formwork assemblies support forming of walls of thickness 100 mm or greater, with increments of 50 mm, and are available in height increments of 605 mm. Possible combinations of wall sizes are numerous, the quick reference guide in this page is integrated by the Geopanel...

GEOPANEL COMPENSATION ELEMENTS The Geopanel Compensation Elements range adds flexibility and precision to the system, and provides the advantages of a formwork contact surface completely made of ABS. The combination of two consecutive Compensation Elements allows to compensate between 30 mm and 100 mm with increments of 10 mm. Among the possible applications one can form corner kits for sizes that are not multiples of 50 mm. This is useful where the standard brickwork size falls outside of Geopanel’s 50 mm increment matrix. Compensation Nut Compensation Wrench Panel sizes in drawings are in...
