Down stand Beam Slabs are time consuming and difficult to construct. They should be constructed using the most versatile formwork and support work solutions or by using combinations of the different systems.
The Plywood faced Kwik-Deck system will provide a "smooth" concrete finish and can support a slab thickness or beam depth of up to 0.86m. The Kwik-Deck system may be supported on the Kwik-Stage, Super-Scaff, BS-Props or Alu-Up Prop systems.
The Multi-Form system will provide the best "smooth" off-shutter finish. The system is very versatile because it consists of loose fitting beams and loose sheets of 21mm thick Plywood. The system can support concrete slabs or beams up to 1.4m in thickness and may be supported on any of Form-Scaff's support work systems.
The steel faced Kwik-Strip system provides a "smooth" off-shutter finish and is suitable for supporting concrete slabs and beams up to 1m thick. The Kwik-Strip system is supported on the Kwik-Stage and Super-Scaff systems.
This system allows the early release of the Deck Panels and Kwik-Strip Beams whilst only the supports remain in position until the concrete slab has gained sufficient strength. Additional Props will need to be installed under the down stand beams during the concrete curing process.
